About Poloniex

Poloniex was founded in 2014 by Tristan, a US crypto enthusiast, and was once rated among the world's most secure exchanges, receiving investment from Goldman Sachs. In late 2019, Sun Yuchen invested in Poloniex, which formally left Circle. Under Sun's coordination, Poloniex collaborated with TRON on TRC20-USDT, DeFi, and a dedicated TRON trading zone, expanding its market from North America to global. In June 2022, Sun Yuchen, together with the TRON Reserve and several investment institutions, officially acquired Poloniex and launched 'TRON Exchange' as its Chinese community brand, completing the dual-wheel strategy of public chain and exchange. In November 2023, Poloniex suffered a major hack, with losses reaching $126 million. The exchange promptly disabled wallets, launched a 5% white-hat bounty, and later resumed deposits and withdrawals on November 15. The incident highlighted security challenges in the crypto industry and Poloniex's response set a precedent for crisis management.

In the past six months (Feb-Aug 2026), Poloniex has made significant strides. Key developments include the launch of perpetual futures for FILUSDT and UNIUSDT on August 6, 2026, with leverage up to 20x, followed by ADAUSDT and LINKUSDT perpetuals. The exchange also confirmed 100%+ reserve ratios in its August 2026 Proof of Reserves, backed by a $100M Protection Fund, enhancing user trust. Additionally, Poloniex supported network upgrades for TON (August 17) and POL (August 18), temporarily suspending deposits/withdrawals during the processes. The exchange also delisted several tokens (e.g., KAON, QTO, BABYNEIRO) as part of its asset management. Looking ahead, Poloniex emphasizes transparency, security, and expanding its futures offerings, aiming to solidify its position as a reliable platform amid market volatility.
