Spot crypto exchange combines live trading, coin voting, faucets, API access and native SPOT coin with real-time cryptographic reserve disclosures
SINGAPORE — September 24, 2026 — SpotEx today announced the launch of a new cryptocurrency exchange that provides users with a platform to buy and sell digital assets through live order books while introducing community-oriented features for the discovery, support and listing of cryptocurrency projects.
SpotEx currently offers spot markets for a range of digital assets, with limit and market orders, candlestick charts and transparent maker/taker fees. The platform is designed to combine conventional cryptocurrency exchange functionality with features that give users a more active role in the exchange ecosystem.k
“SpotEx is built around the idea that an exchange can be more than an order book,” said Soosho, founder and CEO of SpotEx. “We want users to have access to trading tools while also giving them ways to participate in the broader marketplace through coin voting, community faucets and new coin listings.”
Trading and Market Access
SpotEx provides live spot markets for cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Peercoin and other digital assets. Users can deposit cryptocurrency, trade assets against available markets and withdraw funds to their own wallets. The exchange has launched with 17 assets and 25 trading pairs to cover them.
The platform also provides advanced users with an API to trade through their own software. API keys can access account information and execute trades but cannot be used to withdraw funds, providing a separate security boundary for automated trading applications.
SPOT: The Native SpotEx Coin
SpotEx also features Spotex Coin (SPOT), the platform’s native internal coin. SPOT is available as a tradable asset on the exchange and is being introduced as part of the broader SpotEx ecosystem.
The exchange maintains a dedicated SPOT market alongside markets for other cryptocurrencies.
Community Participation
SpotEx incorporates several features intended to give users a role beyond trading.
Through Coin Voting, users can participate in the selection of projects considered for future exchange listings. Cryptocurrency projects and communities can also use “List a Coin” to submit their projects for consideration.
The platform also includes Faucets enabling users to claim coins made available through faucets or create faucets to distribute cryptocurrency to others.
Proof of Reserves
Transparency is a central component of the SpotEx platform. The exchange publishes a Proof of Reserves page that reports assets held against amounts owed to users on an asset-by-asset basis. The data is generated from the exchange’s wallets and payment partner rather than being manually entered.
SpotEx also publishes a cryptographic snapshot of account balances using a Merkle tree and SHA-256. Users can obtain their own verification information, while an open-source verifier allows the published snapshot to be independently checked.
The exchange emphasizes that its reserve information is intended to make its holdings and customer obligations more transparent. The published reserve data also identifies individual assets where coverage differs, rather than presenting only an aggregate figure.
“Instead of asking users to take our word, we are building an exchange to earn their trust,” added Sooshot. “By providing real-time access to cryptographic reserves and daily snapshots, our members can verify everything themselves.”
Security and Account Access
SpotEx supports authenticator-based account protection and separates trading API access from withdrawal capabilities. The platform states that most customer funds are maintained in cold storage, with hot wallets holding funds needed for day-to-day withdrawals.
SpotEx is launching as a centralized spot cryptocurrency exchange and encourages users to review its terms, security information and risk disclosure before depositing assets.
