COLTRADE Exchange Makes a Strong Entrance into the Global Market, 100,000 Users Highlighting a New Global Financial Force

By: GlobePRwire

As the global financial and digital asset markets accelerate their integration, the demand for trading platforms that combine security, liquidity, and intelligence continues to grow. In this wave of transformation, COLTRADE Exchange (abbreviated as COL) has officially announced its entry into the U.S. market, thanks to its outstanding technological strength and compliance foundation. Since its establishment in 2020, COL has quickly risen in the U.S. and globally, achieving a significant breakthrough in the European market in 2025, attracting over 100,000 registered users in just a few months, demonstrating the powerful momentum of its global strategy.

U.S. Expansion, Ushering in a New Era of Global Investment

COL is headquartered in Colorado, USA, and was founded by a team of experts in the fintech field. The platform is dedicated to building a smart trading platform that integrates traditional finance with digital assets and provides one stop multi asset management. In 2025, COL officially entered the global market, establishing a local studio in Colorado (address: Shea Center I, Highlands Ranch, 80129) to provide personalized support and compliance consulting for local users.

Global users can trade stablecoins, such as USDT and USDC, as well as mainstream digital assets on the COL platform, and will soon have access to the U.S. stock market, achieving a seamless experience for global asset allocation. COL‘s unique AI one click wealth management tool, high speed matching system, and blockchain security mechanisms provide users with a smooth, intelligent, and efficient trading process.

Compliance First, Building a Trust Foundation

Compliance and security are always the foundation of COL‘s global strategy. The platform has been authorized and regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and holds an MSB license in the U.S., strictly following global Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) policies. Additionally, COL implements a multi layered security architecture, including cold and hot wallet separation and smart contract auditing, ensuring that user assets remain stable and trustworthy in complex market environments.

Technology Driven, Data Proven Strength

In just one year, COL‘s global registered user count has exceeded 3 million, with a daily trading volume of $1 billion. In the global market, COL accumulated 500,000 active users in less than six months, showcasing its high appeal in terms of technological innovation and service capability. The COL IEO window has also received significant attention, with an average subscription return rate of over 230%, becoming an important bridge between blockchain entrepreneurial projects and global investors.

A Promising Future, Building a Global Smart Investment Ecosystem

COL‘s entry into the global market is just the first step of its globalization journey. The platform plans to expand into Asian and South American markets over the next two years, while introducing ETF, forex trading, and social investment modules, building a smart financial ecosystem covering multiple assets, regions, and languages. Through the deep integration of AI, blockchain, and big data technologies, COL is committed to providing global investors with a sustainable, fully transparent, secure, and trustworthy wealth growth platform.
