Founder
COINUT exchange was founded in 2013 by Xinxi Wang while he was pursuing his PhD in Computer Science in National University of Singapore. Before starting COINUT, Xinxi was an active trader in the forex market and developed his own automated trading strategy. His combined background in Computer Science and forex trading helped lay the foundation for creating COINUT. In 2016, he joined the Litecoin team as a volunteer developer and later co-founded the Litecoin Foundation with Litecoin creator Charlie Lee. Since then, Litecoin has become the most heavily traded cryptocurrency in the exchange.
Technology
COINUT utilizes an advanced matching engine that can handle 2.6 million orders per second, which is among the fastest of all cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance. The company’s backend system was written in C/C++ instead of the more prevalent but slower scripting languages like NodeJS or PHP. According to Mr. Wang, their proprietary technology is not based on LMAX, which may have issues in failure recovery.
Expansion
The exchange was founded in Asia's financial hub, Singapore in December, 2013. In late 2017, the company experienced tremendous growth and started to expand overseas. Today, COINUT has subsidiaries in Canada, Malaysia, and Switzerland and will soon enable Canadian dollars and Euros trading.
