Poloniex General Information

Poloniex facts, technical details and Poloniex information

Poloniex is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange for both experienced and amateur cryptocurrency traders. It offers a range of crypto markets, advanced trade types, as well as margin trading and crypto lending, which makes it a convenient place for traders from all walks of life.

Poloniex is a pure crypto to crypto exchange based in the United States. With a grand redesign in early 2015 the site has added a wealth of features to provide a fully immersive trading experience. Technical analysis charts and live chat mean it is easy to stay abreast of news flow and analyse price trends before taking a position.

For a crypto to crypto exchange there is good security and decent volume and orderbook depth for the majority of its trading pairs. Trading fees are flat at 0.25% and deposit and withdrawal fees are subject to the blockchain's specific minimum transaction fee. 

Your one-stop shop forcrypto trading


Poloniex is a US-based digital asset exchange offering maximum security and advanced trading features. The vast majority of customer deposits are stored offline in air-gapped cold storage. We only keep enough online to facilitate active trading, which greatly minimizes risk and exposure.

Our auditing programs monitor exchange activity 24/7/365. Their job is to report and block any suspicious activity before it becomes a problem. Any funds you put into the exchange are only used to facilitate trading through your account. Unlike banks, we do not operate on fractional reserves.

Based in the United States, Poloniex is a leading digital asset exchange offering a wide variety of digital assets. Founded in January 2014, Poloniex offers a secure trading environment and provides advanced charts and data analysis tools to its customers. Poloniex is a crypto currency exchange, which provides a lot of alternative coins for trading. At the time of writing of this review, it is the second most popular Bitcoin exchange, as measured by the daily volume.

The company is based in the United States, but is not overseen by the local financial watchdogs. This is not that unusual, when we are talking about crypto currency exchanges. If you plan on dealing with companies in this relatively new asset class, you are bound to have counterparty risk i.e. risk of the other side simply not paying you.

Poloniex has experienced a severe hack in the past. Approximately 12% of the Bitcoin, which was present at the exchange was stolen in March 2014. The company subsequently raised the commissions on all transactions, in order to raise money for the affected clients. They were partially compensated eventually. This approach was partially effective and partially fair. Bitfinex, for instance, reacted much better (in our opinion), when the company was hacked in 2016.

At the time of writing of this review (July 2017), there are multiple user complaints against Poloniex. The company’s support appears to be functioning very slowly. More importantly the same goes for the withdrawal procedures, which are allegedly very delayed. These issues may be temporary or a sign of even greater trouble to come. It is impossible to tell at this point, but we will update this review in the future.


Earn without trading. Let your crypto work for you.

Poloniex was always known for the vast variety of altcoins, which it provides. Frankly they are too many to list, but here are some of the most popular: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Monero, Dash, Zcash. 

No clear minimum deposit level is announced by Poloniex. This is not that unusual in the cryptoverse, unlike the forex industry, where most brokers announce this information. For instance, the FCA-regulated industry pioneers at IG (who by the way also provide bitcoin trading) do not have a minimum deposit requirement. Essentially, you can start treading with as little as you want.

The maximum leverage ratio at Poloniex is 1 to 2.5. Keep in mind crypto currencies tend to be much more volatile than the established traditional ones. If EUR/USD rarely moves more tha 100-200 pips per day, the price of Bitcoin often moves 5-10%, even in days where there are no major news regarding it. This is the reason, why crypto-exchanges provide much lower leverage than forex brokers. 

Poloniex currently charges a 0.15% maker fee and a 0.25% taker fee, which are in line with the current offers by other exchanges. To give forex traders an idea what those fees mean, we must explain on what bases they are calculated. 

When trading on an exchange one can either buy an asset at lowest offer provided by other participants, or place his own bid at any lower price he chooses. If you decide to immediately execute your trade, you would effectively be taking away liquidity from the market. This makes you a “taker”, who has to pay the slightly higher fee.  Alternatively if you place your own bid and another trader decides to execute one it, you are providing liquidity to the exchange. This makes you a “maker” (not the same as a forex market maker), who pays lower fees. 

Trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and the top altcoins on the legendary crypto asset exchange.
