Monitok is a mobile self-custodial exchange, also known as a hybrid crypto exchange (HEX), which merges the best of both centralized and decentralized exchanges.  It is designed to maintain the flexibility and security of DEXs combined with the user experience of CEXs. By aggregating prices from over 100+ DEXs and enabling self-custody, Monitok empowers users to maintain full control over their assets while accessing the best trading rates. 

As the demand for secure, efficient, and user-friendly trading solutions grows, Monitok is perfectly positioned to meet these needs. Since the token generation event and exchange listings are expected in the upcoming months, let’s explore the depths of the Monitok ecosystem.

The Industry is Ready for a New Player

The worldwide transaction revenue of the crypto industry in 2023 was $46,3B, while Monitok’s target country transaction revenue was $5.16B. Currently, Monitok’s serviceable obtainable market consists of a whopping $4.13B in revenue. From this conclusion, Monitok can expect $6.48M yearly revenue when it reaches 50.000 users.

Market opportunity

Why do these numbers seem easily obtainable? Because the industry needs a new player that can address all the drawbacks of current wallets and exchanges.In 2024, regulations addressing anonymity are impacting wallets, while centralized platforms are losing popularity to decentralized exchanges (DEXs). However, DeFi still remains too complicated for most users

So, why not combine the best features of both worlds to create the one-stop-shop for all things crypto? Monitok provides a self-custodial wallet that is easy to use for beginner traders, while having a decentralized backend. With this combination, the app becomes an enjoyable trading platform for all kinds of traders that is not risking the privacy of the users.

Monitok’s Hybrid Approach to Crypto Trading

Monitok’s mission is to build crypto exchanges that people will trust and love to use. 

Traders are generally concerned with centralized exchanges’ lack of ownership, transparency and trust while also being afraid of the complicated structure, steep learning curve and chaos of decentralized exchanges.

To solve these problems, Monitok is redefining crypto trading with self-custody in a seamless all-in-one platform that offers direct access to over 100 DEXs and full fiat functionality to create a licensed solution to elevate transparency and user empowerment standards.
