Three years is a long time in the crypto space and the coinpass team and platform have grown immensely during this time. It’s with great pride we say happy birthday to our company, our brand, our team and all of our amazing users who’ve been with us from the start.

Since inception, the coinpass team have always strived to be the fastest, most reliable, and easiest way to invest and trade crypto for all our users and clients.

Our goal at coinpass.com was to change that.
