The Problem
The rapidly growing world of cryptocurrency has created a difficult-to-navigate universe of data that makes it tedious and time consuming for crypto investors to find the information they need to make intelligent decisions in a timely manner.
Compared to the kind of tools and on-demand financial analysis to which equities traders have access, the cryptocurrency market is drastically underserved.
How Big Is The Market For Crypto Financial Intelligence?
When the stock market and financial data transitioned from analog to digital networks in the 70s-early 80s, Michael Bloomberg launched a business that revolutionized the way equities traders processed information.
This was the famous Bloomberg Terminal.
Bloomberg Terminal in 1987
Bloomberg Terminal Today
Because every serious trader needed to have a Bloomberg terminal in order to trade effectively, Bloomberg LP still owns 29.4% of the $25 billion financial data industry - 36 years since its inception.
As finance moves from traditional markets to the blockchain, a similar disruption will occur.
The Same Opportunity Exists In Crypto, But Who Will Win?
As the market opportunity of providing financial intelligence to crypto investors continues to grow, Wall Street institutions will do what they always do - use their tremendous resources to build “toll-booth” businesses that will tax the eco-system.
Bloomberg costs $24,000 USD for an annual subscription and is only available to the elites.
But unfortunately for them, the dominant market intelligence platform for crypto won’t be built through antiquated, pre-internet enterprise sales models.
Instead, it will be built around a token economy - a sustainable system that intelligently incentivizes & rewards those who provide value to the eco-system - the researchers, analysts, curators, and coders.
There is an arms race coming between Wall Street and the crypto community to build the dominant market intelligence platform - the Bloomberg of the crypto markets.
We believe CoinFi will be the Bloomberg for Crypto.
The CoinFi Solution
CoinFi provides in-depth analysis, research, and trading tools that offer Wall Street-like precision - without the Wall Street greed that hoards value creation to the top .01%.
The CoinFI platform is powered by sophisticated algorithmic trading signals, real-time analysis of news through machine learning, and "best execution" trading algorithms.
CoinFi already contracts a team of several junior equities analysts to help perform altcoin research and compile data. We have also developed several in-house trading signals that are undergoing internal alpha testing, with very promising results.
For example, here’s a look at our backtesting data that shows how we can analyze accelerations in trading volume to help predict coin price movement:
We’re currently live testing different trigger levels and filters to improve accuracy of this signal and minimize false positives. Obviously there are no trading signals that are 100% accurate, but as you can see in the video, our backtesting shows that CoinFi’s volume acceleration signal can already predict price movement with enough accuracy to make profitable trades.
If this is your first time hearing about volume acceleration signals, our tech co-founder Han put together a video showing you the basics of how abnormal trading volume correlates to news and price movements, using an earlier version of CoinFi’s alpha software.
Predicting Coin Price Movement Via News Analysis
Speaking of news and its correlation to coin price movements, we are ramping up our capacity to perform natural language processing and sentiment analysis on real-time news - this work is still in the early stages, but we are already seeing some very positive signs.
Arbitrage Signaling
We’re also developing a tool that can identify arbitrage opportunities to notify COFI token holders whenever there is a chance to squeeze out risk-free profit.
Our co-founder Tim shows a live example of one of these arbitrage opportunities in the video below:
CoinFi team member Dom Wells wrote up a fascinating case study of how he used a CoinFi arbitrage signal to make a virtually risk-free 1.5 ETH by taking advantage of the price difference of Bitcoin Gold between Bittrex and HitBTC.
The FinTech industry publication PYMTS also interviewed CoinFi cofounder Timothy Tam recently and published a pretty interesting piece about the arbitrage opportunities that are popping up in the inefficient, volatile crypto markets.
Tim was even quoted in a recent Bloomberg article about the arbitrage opportunities in the crypto markets with the listing of Bitcoin futures on CME.
VentureBeat also featured an article from Tim explaining how bots are manipulating cryptocurrency prices, and what you can do about it.
Unlocking The Wisdom Of The Crowd With The CoinFi Token
As the platform grows, the company will transition to a fully crowdsourced model to provide research, analysis, and trading signals incentivized via CoinFi tokens. Access to the platform’s advanced features and premium content will require staking tokens to reward token owners and reduce volatility.

What Sets CoinFi Apart From Its Competitors?
Unlike other projects that set far-fetched goals of decentralised technology and are years away from being functional, the CoinFi team includes experienced entrepreneurs and growth marketers who understand how to ship rapidly, iterate based on real user feedback, and quickly scale a passionate user base.Team
Advisory Board
Along with our underlying tech and financial expertise, this will be key to the platform’s success and the value of the COFI token. COFI’s value isn’t based on hitting a moonshot - the COFI token will have real long term value because we’re already developing valuable solutions that are solving real-world problems for crypto investors.
In an industry where a sexy website, shiny LinkedIn profiles, and a snazzy whitepaper can be enough to secure tens of millions in funding, we believe the CoinFi team really sets itself apart with its experience bootstrapping web properties from 0 to millions of users, as well as growth hacking for some of the fastest growing startups in the world. This is what sets us apart from our competition and will allow us to build a long-term sustainable business.
CoinFi is not just a financial tech company, it is a media business in an exploding industry - and having the expertise to scale both sides of the business quickly is an advantage (we believe) we have over our competitors.
