Poloniex is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange for retail and institutional traders. It offers spot, margin, and perpetual futures markets from one account, with a peer-to-peer marketplace and card purchases for buying crypto with fiat. Its futures contracts are settled in USDT.

Traders can automate strategies with spot and futures grid bots or follow lead traders through futures copy trading. Earn products pay interest on deposited assets, and the LaunchBase token sale platform gives users access to new projects. A programmatic API and mobile apps support trading outside the browser.

A paid membership removes trading fees, and referral and reward programs offer bonuses to new and active users. The exchange publishes proof-of-reserves reports and keeps assets in a multi-tier wallet system. Poloniex is used by retail traders, algorithmic traders, and institutions.
