What Features Can You Find on CoinEx Markets?

Help | CoinEx Mining: A Step-by-Step Guide

CoinEx Markets combines market-wide statistics, ranked crypto lists, heat maps, order distribution, price-change ranges, historical market capitalization, token pages, and Spot/Futures trading access in one interface. Users can compare 24-hour gainers and losers, review 6-, 12-, or 24-hour buy/sell volume ratios, inspect price changes across 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days, and study capitalization over periods from 1 month to 1 year. Individual token pages add circulating supply, market capitalization, trading volume, historical prices, and available pairs. CoinEx Futures supports leverage from 1x to 100x, while Spot provides four main order types for different execution needs.

The Markets area starts with a broad view rather than a single BTC or ETH chart. CoinEx Market Data shows how many listed cryptocurrencies rose or fell during the previous 24 hours, alongside total market capitalization and 24-hour trading activity. The layout helps a user compare an individual move with the rest of the listed market instead of reading an 8% gain in isolation.

That broad view leads into ranked lists. CoinEx Staking Earn groups assets into Top Gainers, Top Losers, trading-activity leaders, Market Cap, Top Searches, and New Listings. A trader seeing a token up 12% over 24 hours can compare it with assets receiving more searches or heavier trading activity before opening its page, reducing the amount of manual pair-by-pair browsing.

The ranking lists are followed by a visual market layer. CoinEx's heat map can display the top 20 cryptocurrencies by search volume or market capitalization, with larger blocks representing greater weighting. It is useful when dozens of assets are moving at once because relative size and market direction can be read without working through a long price table.

A 15% daily rise carries more context when the same asset also appears among highly searched markets and sits inside a broad group of advancing coins. A 15% move with limited participation presents a different trading setup.

CoinEx adds order-distribution data after the market map. Users can select 6-hour, 12-hour, or 24-hour periods to compare buy volume with sell volume. A displayed 58% buy share and 42% sell share, for example, describes executed activity during the selected period; it does not guarantee that the next price move will follow the larger side.

Price-change distribution offers another market-wide check. CoinEx places listed cryptocurrencies into change ranges on a bar chart and lets users switch among 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days. A market where most assets sit between -2% and +2% looks different from one where a large share is moving by more than 10%, even if a major coin happens to be almost unchanged.

Historical capitalization provides a longer timeframe after short-period movement has been reviewed. CoinEx supports 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and full-history views for selected cryptocurrencies. Moving across the chart displays capitalization on specific dates as well as the combined capitalization of listed assets, giving daily price movement a longer reference period.

Market feature Available comparison Practical use
Heat map Top 20 by searches or market cap Compare relative market attention
Order distribution 6H / 12H / 24H Compare buy and sell volume
Price distribution 24H / 7D / 30D See how broadly prices are moving
Historical capitalization 1M / 3M / 6M / 1Y / All Compare short and long periods
Rankings Gainers, losers, searches, listings Narrow a large coin list

After an asset stands out in the broader market, its Crypto Info page provides a second layer of data. CoinEx shows information such as the cryptocurrency name, issuance details, current market price, market capitalization, and circulating supply. Historical performance can be checked over 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, and longer periods, with percentage changes displayed beside the price chart.

That timeframe comparison can prevent a daily percentage from being read without context. A token up 9% in 24 hours may still be down 28% over 3 months, while another up only 3% for the day may be trading near a multi-month high. CoinEx places several periods on the same research page, so users can compare short-term movement with a wider history before opening a trading screen.

The same token page connects research with available markets. CoinEx lists related Spot and Futures pairs and provides market price, percentage change, and trading volume for each. The trading link then opens the relevant interface, so a user researching one asset can check whether it has a Spot pair, a Futures contract, or both without searching the exchange from the beginning.

Spot adds more detail once a pair is selected. CoinEx's web interface, updated in March 2026, includes token information, selected markets, latest prices, candlestick charts, depth charts, order-book data, trading fees, and market filters. Markets can be filtered by price as well as 24-hour and 30-day changes, which is useful when comparing several pairs under the same sector.

Execution choices become relevant after the pair has been reviewed. CoinEx supports four main Spot order types: Limit, Market, Stop, and Scaled. A Limit order waits for a specified price or better; a Market order uses the best available market price; a Stop order submits an order after its trigger is reached; a Scaled order divides a larger order into several smaller limit orders across a chosen range.

Scaled orders provide more control than a single large entry. CoinEx allows the quantity to be distributed evenly, in ascending amounts, or in descending amounts. If a trader wants 10 separate orders across a selected price range rather than one order at a single level, the system can generate the individual limit orders under the chosen allocation method.

Limit and stop orders also support execution rules. CoinEx documents Always Valid, Immediate or Cancel, Fill or Kill, and Maker Only. IOC cancels any unfilled amount immediately; FOK cancels the entire order unless it can be filled immediately in full; Maker Only prevents an order from taking existing liquidity. CoinEx's dedicated execution guide has documented four execution types since 2022.

Futures adds a different set of information because leveraged contracts require more than spot-price monitoring. CoinEx USDⓈ-Margined contracts currently support 1x to 100x leverage, with the permitted maximum depending on the position size and market. Leverage can be adjusted after a position is opened in cross or isolated margin mode, although it cannot be changed while unfilled orders remain.

A simple numerical example shows why leverage deserves separate attention. At 5x leverage, $1,000 of margin can support $5,000 of contract exposure before fees and other account conditions are considered; at 20x, the same margin corresponds to $20,000. Higher leverage reduces the margin required for a given position size but leaves less room for an adverse price move before liquidation conditions become relevant.

CoinEx Futures therefore includes contract data beyond price charts. Open interest shows outstanding positions, while trading volume records contracts traded during a selected period. When volume rises while open interest falls, positions may be closing or being liquidated; when both increase, new positions are being added alongside heavier trading activity. CoinEx's Contract Data Guide has documented the relationship since 2022.

Futures order controls extend the research flow further. As of the September 1, 2026 update, CoinEx Futures supports Limit, Market, Stop, and Scaled orders. Stop orders can use the latest execution price, mark price, or index price as a trigger, while the submitted order can be a limit or market order. The distinction matters when a contract's latest traded price differs from its mark or index price.

The Markets experience also includes a social information layer through Coin Commentary. Users can post views about price movement, projects, and recent updates, reply to other posts, or tip a creator. Commentary sits beside quantitative information rather than replacing it; a claim that a coin may rise 20% can be checked against its 7-day chart, trading volume, market capitalization, and available pairs on the same asset page.

A practical reading order can therefore move from 24-hour market breadth to rankings, the top-20 heat map, 6/12/24-hour order distribution, and 24-hour/7-day/30-day price distribution before opening a token page. From there, users can compare historical periods, circulating supply, market capitalization and available trading pairs, then move to Spot or Futures data based on the product they intend to use.

For cost comparison, CoinEx's 2026 documentation lists Spot trading fees at up to 0.2%, while Futures trading fees are shown in a 0.03%-0.05% range plus the applicable funding rate; actual rates vary with VIP and market-making levels. Margin trading can use 1x-10x leverage, while Futures supports 1x-100x. Those differences make the Markets page useful as an entry point, but the product type, fee schedule, leverage level, order book, and contract data still need to be checked before an order is submitted.
