So my name is Nasar Ashar. I'm here today. I like this energy. The second day all the people here full of energy. A lot of friends.

Hello guys. So I'd be talking today about the future of trading from fragmented to unified. So as we see today the evolution of cryptocurrency and u uh exchange platforms for the past 10 years is being crazy. A lot of platforms is being in the space as you can see in the here in this big event token 2049 which which is one of the biggest event in the space and uh these platforms are being more and more coming to the space and that's why countries start to consider to regulate the space more and more. So as we can see Singapore one of the biggest regulatory space in the industry.

If we look at the European market as well they come with the Mika license to regulate the space. In the Middle East we see Dubai one of the most advanced countries for the regulations. They have the VA which is the virtual asset regulatory authority to regulate the space and so on. So however the people here are lost and they have too many options as as we can see it here there is a man lost in the trading world they have too many options they don't know where to trade which platform to choose and what to choose from this huge combination of tokens and cryptocurrencies. So if we're going to look at the market today, the current reality it's a fragmented trading landscape.

So today's trading ecosystem is split into across platforms, assets, liquidity uh uh uh pools and this making like kind of uh inefficiencies right and these platforms are divided into two categories. We have the centralized platforms and we have the decentralized platforms. The centralized platforms they dominate the institutional volumes. They focus on trading crypto assets. They are established for derivative markets mainly.

And we have an examples like BTC, USDT, liquidity and so on. But they don't tap on the onchain assets. However, we have the decentralized uh platform which is growing tapping on the growing onchain assets example the beam coins. But the disadvantages is they are communitydriven uh protocols. So this variety of platforms making the management of these users accounts being very hard and as well raising the cost on the users.

So we cannot avoid making any unified platform because unified platform are driven by two categories by users and by technology. So users and traders need a unified platform for sophisticated cross asset strategies and integrated disk management and technology advancement. The combination of centralized decentralized hybrid models and advanced smart wallets and layer 2 solution enable liquidity platforms and need a unification for this. So unified platforms are a must for the future blending the speed and innovation together. If we have a look at the market, global market right now, we have some key market insights.

The dominance of the centralized exchange 70% we have a dominance on the derivative shares where the centralized exchanges dominate the derivatives. On the total defy total volume locked in 2025 is estimated to be 123.6 6 billion and it has a 41% yearon-year growth and this is a remarkable number by the way this is something huge and the estimated um RWA the reward assets market by 2023 to 2030 sorry will be around 16 trillion dollars right so all these indicators are very important to take in consideration are and start thinking about a unified platforms. So the core questions here will be can exchanges remain single function tool in a complex market. Do we need a future trading platform that delivers safety and stability while expanding innovation?

What architecture best remove fragmentation without uh uh touching the speed and the compliance and keeping the security of the end user and this is the big answer here. Coin W. Coinw is a platform where this platform exists for the past eight years in the space. We have millions of users. We exceeded a 15 million users plus we are present in 200 plus countries so far and we didn't have any incident so far.

This is as a centralized exchange from one side to have coinw as a unified platform. We added additional uh features into this platform and additional uh products. So to address the fragmentation of these platforms that I mentioned in my presentation at the beginning, we added all these uh products at coinw address the liquidity and the fragmentation process. So we added one product which is gen which is an onchain product. This product target all the onchain meme coins where we will provide it for the user to target all the uh onchain meme coins with a very sophisticated AI tools integrated into the platforms.

So the users will be will not be lost anymore. We will give them the best of the best of these meme coins to select from and they can choose from these meme coins directly and this is integrated with coinw. Another product that we have we have the propw which is the proprietary trading platform. The third one which we have the derw which is a complete dex platform to be integrated. So what we're showing you here a unified platform that has multiple product in one uh single uh product for the end user.

So the end user doesn't have to bother in in having different and multiple accounts one accounts on a centralized exchange one accounts on decentralized exchange. They will have one unified account and they can access all these products together from one platform. This is the challenge today. This is the this is where the competition is. This is where we are uh today.

To add on this as a centralized exchange, we added some more features to our centralized exchange. the spot features that we have which is the dual angel model where the mainstream market and the GMW of chain market the smart discovery of the lens model and the creator strategies where they can do one copy trading click. So the copy trading we provided for the users who are not expert in the trade. They can follow some lead traders with the smart copy trade features. They don't have to bother just follow some lead trades and they will make the full trades seamlessly without bothering and trading by themsel.

And this is one of the most important feature as well to give it to the beginners and users who are still discovering new platforms. Right. Another one which is the smart discovery. The third one which is able to connect integration that has the the content the community and the trading in a closed loop and experience. On the derivative sides we have the ultra low fee which is as well a remarkable feature.

We call it trade at low cost which is around 0.01% with the lowest fee where it matters the most. We have a very important feature here which is the protection fund. We allocate for the user around half a million dollar of protection fund. This is uh will play a major role when the volatility in place when the market is volatile and the prices is going up and down and people will face some liquidity in the space.

So they will tap on this uh uh protection fund to get the benefit of the protection fund which is around half million dollars to get the benefit of this. We have the copy trade feature that I uh already spoke about it with one copy trade they can follow the lead trades and transact and uh do the transaction on the exchange. All these features that I explained they gave us uh uh growth in the market up to 20% last year annual growth and put us on the top five on uh Kong Geko uh uh platforms. So looking for the future what we are looking and what's our plan and what's our strategy coming forward we're expanding more and more into the real world assets and layer 2 and this is the most important as well features on the on uh on on coinw accelerating the adoption through tokenized assets and scalable layer 2 network we're still maintaining the core core focus of our platform the core focus which is commitment ment with our users on the long term and protecting the users in terms of security and implementing the best use case of safety and cyber security measures and for the past eight years we didn't face any any major problem on the end user side nothing on the platform and the financial gateway vision which is positioning coinw as the entry point to the digital finance by unifying market enhancement, transparency and enabling sustainable growth. So this is our vision.

This is our strategy for the coming years. We are here to be with our users to listen to them to grow with them hand in hand together to service them the best way possible. I would like to thank everybody to be here with us today and we'll ask you to join us unifying the future of trading and thank you guys so much.
