Benefits of Using Coinstore 

• According to Coinstore, security of users’ funds is a top priority. To ensure safety of assets, 70% of users funds are said to be stored offline and sensitive data is split with redundancy. The exchange utilises AES-256 encryption with multiple layers, and backups copied to FIPS-140 USB drives that are stored securely.
• Coinstore has a 3-star cybersecurity score from Cer.live. 

• Coinstore reported that it is in the process of applying for a Payment Services Act (PAS) licence with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). The exchange implements stringent AML/CFT measures which include two-tiers of KYC. This is to ensure that the exchange eliminates bad actors who may want to carry out illicit activities using the platform. Suspicious transactions are regularly flagged by conducting periodic checks and audits.
• Users can buy and sell, convert cryptocurrencies, and they are also able to securely send and receive digital assets with external digital wallets.
• The platform offers multi-language support. 
• Coinstore requires reasonably low minimum deposits for users to start trading on the platform.

Challenges

• Coinstore is still considered a new market entrant, thus, it is still relatively unknown compared to other crypto giants such as OKX, KuCoin, Bybit, Bittrex, and others. However, what’s good about Coinstore’s approach to service delivery is emphasis on user experience especially the UI and UX which is beginner friendly compared to the others.
• New exchanges such as Coinstore do not have the depth of liquidity that competitors such as Poloniex, Gemini, Bitfinex, and other may have. Nonetheless, exchanges like Coinstore make up for this by having more exciting token pairings and digital assets that may not yet be listed on the other exchanges.
• Currently users can only deposit crypto on the platform and the exchange does not currently offer fiat pairs. Even though this may seem disadvantageous, Coinstore is actually a digital asset trading platform which is available to a wide users base worldwide compared to some of the regulated exchanges that handle fiat accounts.

Conclusion

All-in-all Coinstore is a legit crypto exchange that is competing in the digital asset trading services space and carving a unique niche by catering to a growing user base of crypto adopters who want a platform that is simple to use. Through great user experience delivery and a fresh approach driven by the vision of being the ‘first stop for popular crypto’, Coinstore looks to continue to grow from strength to strength.
