What is Poloniex?

Poloniex is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange based in Seychelles.

Poloniex was founded in year 2014 and got off to a rocky start. In March 2014, Poloniex suffered a high-profile hacking attack that lost approximately 12% of its Bitcoin, which were worth $50,000 at that time. The management of Poloniex publicly responded to the hacking attack and fully compensated for the Bitcoins stolen by temporarily increasing fees on the platform. At the same time, efforts are being made to enhance the security of the platform. Until year 2016, Poloniex regained the attention of investors as the first exchange to list Ethereum (ETH) cryptocurrency. Since then. its scale and trading volume began to increase, becoming one of the most popular exchanges. However, after being acquired by Circle in 2018 and being split out in 2019, Poloniex's trading volume has declined significantly. Currently, its 24-hour turnover is approximately $190 million.
