Coin Trader, Inc.

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Vancouver, Coin Trader, Inc. operated the Cointrader.net platform, which established itself as one of Canada's prominent early Bitcoin exchanges. The company aimed to provide a secure and user-friendly marketplace for Canadians to buy and sell Bitcoin using Canadian dollars. Despite gaining initial popularity, the exchange announced the shutdown of its trading services in the spring of 2016, citing significant challenges with its banking partners, which made it impossible to continue operations.
