View ChartCoinEx Token (CET) is the native utility token of the CoinEx ecosystem, a global cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2017. CET serves as a crucial value exchange medium within the platform, functioning as the fuel token that powers trading fee payments, governance participation, and user incentives. The token was originally issued in January 2018 as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and is slated to migrate to CoinEx Smart Chain (CSC) once its mainnet is live. CoinEx Chain is designed to support a decentralized trading system through three interconnected public chains: DEX Chain for trading, Smart Chain for smart contracts, and Privacy Chain for privacy-focused applications. The total issuance of CET is capped at 10 billion tokens, with a deflationary mechanism that uses 20% of the platform's daily fee revenue to repurchase and burn CET on a monthly basis. This buyback and burn process gradually reduces the circulating supply over time. As of the latest circulation update dated 2026-10-08, total supply is 2.77 billion CET and circulating supply is 708.63 million CET, approximately 7.09% of max supply.
In September 2026, CoinEx announced it is winding down its exchange after nine years, citing falling trading volumes, weaker liquidity, and rising regulatory costs. New registrations stopped on September 15, 2026, and withdrawals remain open until December 22, 2026, when the exchange will formally cease operations.
CoinEx Token was created by CoinEx, a global cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2017 by Haipo Yang, who also serves as the exchange's CEO. Haipo Yang has been actively involved in the project's development and strategic direction, participating in Ask Me Anything sessions to share perspectives on the exchange's strategies for driving long-term growth and empowering users. Under his leadership, CoinEx has implemented a strategic approach to maintain CET's value and control its supply. Yang has stated that CoinEx currently holds a portion of CET tokens, primarily allocated for team incentives and marketing initiatives, with no plans to sell these tokens on the open market. CoinEx was registered in the Seychelles with roots in Hong Kong and operated through legal entities in Estonia, Lithuania, and the United Kingdom. Team member and founder information is tracked on TokenInsight, providing additional transparency regarding the project's leadership structure.
CET operates on blockchain infrastructure designed for fast and secure transactions, originally functioning as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain to ensure compatibility with various wallets and services. The token is slated to migrate to CoinEx Chain, the native blockchain of the CoinEx ecosystem. CET implements a deflationary mechanism through regular token burns, which helps maintain its value over time by reducing the total supply. The token's smart contract enables various utility functions within the CoinEx ecosystem, including trading fee discounts, platform governance, and participation in platform activities. CoinEx Chain itself is built around three public chains: DEX Chain focuses on decentralized trading through CoinEx DEX, a community-governed trading system; Smart Chain supports smart contract functionality; and Privacy Chain addresses privacy-focused applications. This multi-chain architecture aims to create a comprehensive decentralized public chain ecosystem. CET serves as the fuel token within this ecosystem, used to pay for trading fees on CoinEx Chain and to participate in network governance through proposal initiation and voting.
CET distinguishes itself through its comprehensive integration with the CoinEx exchange ecosystem and its deflationary tokenomics model. The buyback and burn mechanism, which allocates 20% of daily platform fee revenue to repurchase and burn CET monthly, creates consistent deflationary pressure on the token supply. CoinEx has completed at least one historic burn — in February 2021 it burned 1.08 billion locked CET allocated to the team — and during its 2026 wind-down it reportedly offered a CET buyback at listing price. Unlike traditional proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, CET doesn't operate on a conventional mining model. CET does not use proof-of-work mining; it is issued as an ERC-20 token and is used to pay trading fees and participate in governance on CoinEx Chain. CET has historically been listed on multiple third-party venues, though CoinGecko notes that CET tokens have stopped trading on all exchanges it tracks. The token also provides holders with governance rights, allowing them to vote on new token listings and platform upgrades, as well as initiate proposals on the CoinEx Chain network.
CET serves multiple functions within the CoinEx ecosystem. Primarily, it is used to pay trading fees on the CoinEx exchange and CoinEx Chain, with holders enjoying reduced trading fees that typically scale with the amount of CET held. The token also functions as a governance instrument, enabling holders to participate in platform decisions including voting on new token listings and platform upgrades, as well as initiating and voting on proposals on CoinEx Chain. CET holders can participate in staking on CoinEx Chain. The token can be used to purchase value-added services on CoinEx.
The CoinEx ecosystem has expanded significantly beyond basic trading services to include a range of products and initiatives designed to increase CET's utility and create more value for token holders. The ecosystem now encompasses CoinEx Wallet, CoinEx Smart Chain, CoinEx Explorer, and CoinEx Charity. New value-added products introduced to enhance the CET ecosystem include CoinEx Dock for assisting early-stage projects with fundraising and promotion, CET Staking for providing users with secure and efficient on-chain staking products, and CoinEx Mining for allowing users to stake tokens to earn airdrop rewards. CoinEx offered spot, margin, and derivatives trading plus staking services, and advertised 100% reserves. On July 24, 2024, CoinEx published a blog post, "Understanding the Values of CET," covering the token's structure and utility.
In September 2026, CoinEx announced it is winding down its exchange after nine years, citing falling trading volumes, weaker liquidity, and rising regulatory costs. New registrations stopped on September 15, 2026, and withdrawals remain open until December 22, 2026, when the exchange will formally cease operations.
CET does not use proof-of-work mining; it is issued as an ERC-20 token and is used to pay trading fees and participate in governance on CoinEx Chain. CET holders can participate in staking on CoinEx Chain.
Keeping CET safe requires adherence to standard cryptocurrency security practices. Since CET functions as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and also operates on CoinEx Chain, users should ensure compatibility with their chosen wallet before storing tokens. Hardware wallets provide the highest level of security by keeping private keys offline and away from potential online threats. For tokens held on exchanges, users should enable two-factor authentication, use strong and unique passwords, and regularly monitor account activity for any unauthorized access. When participating in staking activities, users should verify they are interacting with official CoinEx platforms and smart contracts. It is advisable to diversify storage methods, keeping only necessary amounts on exchanges for active trading while storing long-term holdings in secure personal wallets. Users should also stay informed about platform announcements, including important updates such as the announced shutdown by December 22, 2026, to ensure timely management of their assets. CertiK rates CoinEx 3.7 (on CertiK's own scale); this is a third-party rating, not a guarantee of safety.
Like any cryptocurrency, CET carries risks. Its price can fluctuate significantly, and regulatory policies in different jurisdictions may affect the CoinEx ecosystem and the token's usability. Technical risks, including smart contract vulnerabilities and blockchain network issues, also apply. The information here is not a guarantee of future performance.
