In the world of cryptocurrencies, it seems that centralized exchanges are a dime a dozen. Many of these initiatives seem to follow a cookie-cutter approach which has resulted in a sea of ‘different’ exchanges that suffer from the same hurdles in UI, UX, customer service, and onboarding.


However, every once in a while a shining pearl can emerge from that sea. One of these is COINZIX.


COINZIX is aiming to become the leading crypto exchange in Eastern Europe by prioritizing its feature set, user experience, and onboarding initiatives.


We’ve sat down with the CEO and Co-Founder, Ovidiu Chirodea, to dive a little deeper into his vision for the future of COINZIX, blockchain, and mass adoption.

Ovidiu, thanks for sitting down with us. Can you share a brief introduction to yourself and the COINZIX platform?

Absolutely! As your readers will have worked out already, my name’s Ovidiu. I’m a Romanian entrepreneur whose life originally started on the path to becoming an architect at University way back when. It was at that very same university where I discovered Satoshi’s White Paper which led me down the path I’m on today, and to COINZIX.


Now, instead of designing buildings, I’m laser-focused on developing the COINZIX suite of products which include the most user-friendly CEX, a chain of crypto-ATMs, and a tone more planned.


Ironically, I’m still building bridges - but instead of connecting land, I’m connecting the traditional fiat world to the future that is Web3.

What separates COINZIX from the plethora of other exchanges in the ecosystem today?

Not only are we obsessed with the problems that are facing the crypto exchange system today; usability, interoperability, and transparency, we’re even more obsessed with our customers.


That’s why our suite of products is set to perforate every facet of the crypto ecosystem that a typical user might be involved in - that’s everything from ATMs, to debit cards, to launch pads, and, of course, our centralized exchange, COINZIX.

It’s 2027. The bull run is back. The world is tuning into the value of decentralized ecosystems. Where is COINZIX in all of this?

Although in the near term, we’re focused on becoming the leading crypto exchange in Eastern Europe, our goals don’t stop there. We’re here to challenge the big guys, build together with CZ and SBF, and bring our vision of a truly accessible crypto ecosystem to the masses.


We understand that, in order to achieve this, we’ll need to be agile when others can’t be and we’ll always need to enshrine our number one obsession; our customers.


So, if you’re asking where I see COINZIX in 2027? The answer is simple; at the top.


What are the team’s priorities right now that are folding into making all of that happen?

We’re on the precipice of launching our utility token, ZIX. Not only will this serve to bootstrap our growth, but we’ll be rewarding our holders and customers with a range of in-house utilities, some of which are quite novel in the ecosystem today.


These include:


  • Reduced transaction costs in the COINZIX ecosystem
  • Access to exclusive offers from COINZIX partners
  • Trading opportunities
  • Launchpad access
  • Staking


All of the above is not viable without adequate tokenomics, which is why we’re dedicating a portion of fees from specific COINZIX products to be used to buy and burn ZIX thereby creating a deflationary asset.


ZIX holders will receive a plethora of benefits throughout the COINZIX product suite, which is another significant priority for the team right now. Our product suite can be divided into three categories; payment services, trading services, and crypto-economic services.


The breadth of our product suite is huge, yet still concise enough to ensure we can deliver an optimal user experience. We’re thrilled to be working on our launchpad, fully-fledged Ce/DeFi offerings, and our whitelabel debit cards.


It doesn’t make sense for users to have to go to 20 different companies for 20 different services. With COINZIX, it’s all here and it works right out of the box.
