Own a Piece of an Australian Crypto Exchange with Coinstash in its Crowdfunding Round

Fancy owning a piece of a rapidly growing and trusted Australian crypto exchange? Brisbane-based digital asset platform Coinstash is growing at a rapid rate and now presents Australian retail investors with the opportunity to own a piece of the action:

Public Crowdfunding Round

AUSTRAC-registered Coinstash is officially offering prospective investors to register interest in an opportunity to participate in its second equity crowdfunding round.

At Coinstash, we believe cryptocurrency is one of the biggest and most transformative inventions of the 21st century. Our mission is to financially empower our clients by bridging the gap between traditional finance and the world of crypto.

Ting Wang – CEO & Co-Founder

This follows an enormously successful A$2.8 million crowdfunding raise in 2021. In fact, last year proved to be an enormously successful one for Coinstash, which demonstrated exponential growth across a number of key metrics. In particular, customer growth exceeded 500 percent, while trade volume increased by 322 percent.

Currently, the exchange has more than 20,000 registered users who trade more than 340 cryptocurrencies. Part of the company’s success is no doubt attributable to recently launched Coinstash Earn, a loyalty program where customers can earn rewards of up to 24 percent on their crypto assets.

Exciting Future For Brisbane and Crypto

According to its website, Coinstash has a number of exciting plans scheduled for launch prior to the end of 2023, subject to regulatory approval. These include:

  • Coinstash Borrow – where customers can borrow Australian dollars (or crypto) using their crypto holdings as collateral.
  • Coinstash Spend – a crypto credit card where customers’ crypto holdings would be a factor in determining their credit limit.

These exciting initiatives offer additional evidence that Coinstash is much more than an exchange. As crypto investors increasingly demand yields on their crypto, not to mention the capacity to borrow against it, Coinstash appears well-positioned to capitalise on these trends.

Prospective investors can register their interest directly here and find out more by attending an upcoming webinar on May 27 at 12pm AEST.

Coinstash Earn Offers Australians Rewards of Up to 18% On Their Crypto and 4.20% On AUD Savings

Brisbane-based digital asset platform Coinstash steps into a new cryptocurrency era with the launch of Coinstash Earn, an innovative way for Australians to earn a passive income minus the hassle of trading.

Coinstash is on a mission to enable everyday Aussies to uncover the true potential of digital and real-world capital with a secure and trusted digital asset platform that allows people to use their cryptocurrencies like traditional currency and physical assets.

Since launching the platform in 2019, Coinstash founders Ting Wang and Mena Theodorou have helped thousands of Australians buy, sell and exchange more than 340 different cryptocurrencies via a simple user interface.

“Our vision is to financially empower Australians by bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets, by becoming the trusted local gateway to access the world of crypto with a few simple clicks of a button,” Mr Wang said.

The industry-leading enterprise has now introduced Coinstash Earn, an Australian-first crypto product that allows investors to earn daily rewards of up to 18.0% per annum* when they deposit their crypto holdings for a fixed period.

Coinstash EARN allows customers to earn a rate of return on both stakeable and non-stakeable cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD stablecoins and xAUD, a stablecoin tied to the value of the Australian dollar, credited weekly to their accounts.

With Coinstash Earn, investors can receive impressive annual returns of 4.20% on their digital Australian dollars (AUD), compared to an average of less than 1% at the ‘Big Four’ banks. 

“Investing takes time and effort, so Coinstash Earn does the hard work for you,” Mr Theodorou said.

“Earn is a critical launch for Coinstash on our way to becoming a bank of the future that allows our customers to skip the steep crypto learning curve and make a passive income without needing to master the very challenging task of timing the market,” Mr Wang said.

Coinstash Partners with xbullion to Offer Gold-backed Tokens and are Giving Away a Full Ounce of Gold

Coinstash is extremely excited to announce their newest partnership with xbullion to bring their gold-backed token (GOLD) to the Australian cryptocurrency market.

Coinstash are giving away up to $5,000 worth of prizes, including a whole ounce of physical gold!

Later this month, Coinstash will be listing xbullion’s gold-backed token, under the ticker [GOLD]. Each GOLD token is secured by 1 gram of 9999 investment grade physical gold which is directly owned by the token owner.

GOLD tokens can be redeemed for physical gold bullion (subject to a current 1kg minimum). Alternatively, GOLD tokens can be easily and rapidly exchanged for fiat currency or other digital assets on the Coinstash exchange.

We are proud to be supporting another Australian initiative.  What we appreciate is the fact that xbullion brings a new chapter in the tokenisation of assets to everyday Australians.  I am personally a gold investor myself and am super excited to see the application of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to the precious metal industry.

Ting Wang, CEO and co-founder of Coinstash

The offering of GOLD on Coinstash is the first step in enabling the wider accessibility of direct ownership of commodities enabled through xbullion’s blockchain based solutions. 

“Our GOLD token takes away the headaches of investors having to organise storage, auditing, and insurance while still owning the underlying physical asset”, said David Lightfoot, CEO of xbullion. 

To celebrate this upcoming listing, Coinstash are running their Gold Rush promotion to giveaway free GOLD tokens, in addition to a whole ounce of physical gold!

Brisbane Crypto Platform Coinstash Acquires AFSL to Enhance Services

Coinstash has acquired an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) to accelerate the launch of the Coinstash Earn product to Australian customers.

The acquisition involves 100% of the share capital in Brindabella Investment Group Pty Ltd (Brindabella), a company which currently holds a wholesale Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) and includes a service agreement with the private seller to act as the responsible manager of the proposed financial product – Coinstash Earn

The upcoming Coinstash Earn service will allow customers to earn a rate of return on their cryptocurrency holdings.

The acquisition of Brindabella and appointment of the responsible manager means Coinstash is one step closer to offering Australian customers a safe and secure way to earn a rate of return on their crypto holdings. The biggest uncertainty that many Australians face is whether they can trust the overseas, or even local, crypto exchanges holding their crypto. By obtaining an AFSL, Coinstash is increasing the standards and building trust for the many Australians who are looking to earn a rate of return with a licensed provider.

Coinstash CEO, Ting Wang

This announcement follows the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s  (ASIC) recent warning to Aussie citizens to be wary when investing in crypto products through unlicenced entities. ASIC has advised Australians to only make crypto investments if the company offering them has an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) or Australian Market Licence (AML).
