In the eyes of the market storm, the stability of trading is like the stabilizing anchor of the digital world. Looking back at history, during the extreme event of the LUNA/UST algorithmic stablecoin collapse in 2022, the cryptocurrency market lost over 400 billion US dollars in a single day, the peak volatility of mainstream assets exceeded 300%, and multiple trading platforms experienced outage or runs. Under this stress test, the platform of coin ex maintained a system availability of 99.99%. Its trading engine, under the load of processing more than one million orders per second, the order matching delay was always less than 1 millisecond, and no unplanned service interruption occurred. This proves that the underlying architecture of coin ex has the ability to cope with instantaneous traffic peaks. Its elastically scalable computing resource pool can automatically expand by 200% to absorb the impact brought by market panic or frenzy.
Stability is rooted in deep liquidity reserves and a sound order book model. During the period when market volatility soared following the Bitcoin halving in 2024, the price of Bitcoin frequently fluctuated by more than 10% within 24 hours. At this point, the median bid-ask spread of the BTC/USDT trading pair on coin ex remained stable within $0.1, and the average market depth (total amount of the first order) remained above $2 million. This means that even in the event of sharp fluctuations, the impact of large orders on prices is effectively diluted, and the slippage cost is controlled below 0.05% of the transaction amount. This liquidity advantage stems from coin ex’s integrated network of over 50 top market makers and its own risk reserve of up to 1 billion US dollars, ensuring the thickness and resilience of the order book and making the price discovery process continuous and efficient.
In the face of fluctuations, an automated risk control system serves as an intelligent firewall for stable operation. When the market experiences a sharp decline similar to the “5·19” type in 2021 (Bitcoin dropped by more than 30% within 24 hours), the real-time risk monitoring system of coin ex can identify abnormal price deviations and chain forced liquidation risks within 0.5 seconds. Its forced liquidation engine adopts a mechanism of “position reduction steps” and “insurance fund priority”. During periods of volatility, over 95% of the forced liquidation orders are naturally absorbed by the market depth, and only less than 5% trigger insurance funds. The fund’s scale has remained above 120 million US dollars for many years, with a coverage rate of 99.8%, ensuring that users’ margin call losses are fully borne and avoiding a debt spiral. Data shows that on such highly volatile days, the forced liquidation rate on the coin ex platform is approximately 15 percentage points lower than the industry average.
Asset security and the efficiency of fund processing are the cornerstones of trust. coin ex adopts a multi-level and cold and hot isolated asset storage solution. More than 98% of users’ assets are stored in offline cold wallets, and regular audits are conducted through Merkle tree reserve proof to ensure 100% on-chain verifiable. Even during the traditional financial turmoil triggered by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in the United States in 2023, the fiat channel processing of coin ex remained stable, and 99.5% of withdrawal requests could be automated within 30 minutes. Through continuous technological investment and rigorous operation processes, coin ex has built a solid digital fortress in the tempests of the market, providing traders not only with a trading interface, but also a predictable and certain operational guarantee in the cyclical storms of crypto assets.
