About the Coinmotion
Company
behind Coinmotion
WE HAVE A MISSION
All our team members are passionate about our industry. We admit it, it’s not just a work, we live and breath it 24/7. We're adamant about making cryptocurrencies available and understandable for everyone.
WE HAVE THE TALENT
The blockchain technology is part of our DNA. We have been pioneers in the cryptocurrency sector and our team is creative, hard working and determined in gaining brilliant results.
WE KNOW OUR INDUSTRY
We have been in the sector from the beginning. We code, create and develop our services inspired by our customers and the evolution of the industry. Our team has over 50+ years of combined experience in blockchain & cryptocurrencies.
Coinmotion (formerly Prasos) was founded in 2012 by a group of people united by the vision of a societal revolution that Bitcoin technology can bring about. We believe cryptocurrencies are a way of equalizing societal power structures as they allow regular people the chance to control their own money.
Our mission is to respond to the demand of cryptocurrency users and investors to provide investment services that are easy to use and to guide different companies in the adoption of cryptocurrencies in their own services.
Our team consists of cryptocurrency and blockchain advocates and we create services that we ourselves want to use. A society that embraces this new technology can and will prosper in a way never before seen.
Our aim is to take cryptocurrencies mainstream offering responsible, transparent and secure ways to invest in the technology. Blockchain will revolutionize business structures across the whole financial sector, so the question is are you a leader or a follower?
