Cryptopia Making Process

Just last month, Cryptopia has opened trading with pairs being added weekly as the exchange continues to secure new wallets. On March 18, they resumed trading on 40 trade pairs that have been quantified as secure.

Since first opening the trading, the exchange has been seeing a gradual increase in its daily volume that currently reached almost $200,000. The daily volume has surged 10 times since resuming the trading after the hack. And now by allowing the withdrawal of funds in BTC, LTC, adn DOGE, it has bring in more customers that are undeterred from trading on a hacked cryptocurrency exchange.

Currently, Electroneum (ETN) is the top traded coin on the exchange that was also the top traded one during the bull run of 2017. ETN that during the bull run saw a volume of as high as 1000 BTC on some days, at the time of writing has been registering 7.5 BTC.

Cryptopia users are certainly happy and positive about its progress as one such user commented,

“Thank you for your commitment and professionalism. I still believe in Cryptopia as a benchmark in exchange for low Mcap cryptos. I am waiting to enable the withdrawal and deposits of other cryptos. Good job!”

With the way the exchange has been slowly coming online and expanding its trading, it could be expected that the exchange will return to its pre-hack status.
