BRISBANE, 3 JULY 2025: Brisbane-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinstash has raised AU$4.7 million in Series A funding, bringing its total capital raised to more than AU$8 million, as it accelerates its mission to become the leading digital asset platform for Australian investors.The round, led by a Brisbane-based family office, will fund Coinstash’s continued platform development, team expansion and user acquisition, with a target of onboarding 100,000 additional Australian investors.&nbsp;&nbsp;“This raise comes at a time when investor confidence in digital assets is accelerating, as seen in the growing pipeline of crypto companies preparing for public listings globally,” said Coinstash CEO Ting Wang.“Locally, we’re seeing that same momentum as Australian investors increasingly seek secure, long-term access to digital assets as part of diversified portfolios. This funding allows us to scale the platform to meet that growing demand, while maintaining our core focus on security, compliance and innovation.”The capital injection allows Coinstash to strengthen its platform as institutional appetite and market structures around crypto continue to mature. Recent IPO interest in major global exchanges and companies such as Circle underscores the shift from early-stage speculation to full-scale financial infrastructure, a trend now playing out in Australia.“We’re building not just for the retail investor of today, but for the future of digital finance in Australia. Crypto is maturing as an asset class, and the future will demand local players have the same scale, governance and transparency expected of companies operating in public markets,” Wang added.Founded in 2017, Coinstash currently serves more than 50,000 users and offers access to Australia’s largest range of digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and 1,000+ cryptocurrencies. The company has invested heavily in compliance and security (including 1:1 asset reserves) as the Australian crypto sector adapts to a tightening regulatory landscape.The company’s total capital raised now exceeds AU$8 million, including AU$3.5 million from earlier rounds. The latest raise reflects growing investor appetite for platforms positioned to serve retail and institutional segments as digital assets continue to enter mainstream portfolios.For more information, visit<a href="https://coinstash.com.au" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://coinstash.com.au" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">coinstash.com.au</a>. <h2>About Coinstash</h2>Coinstash is one of Australia’s leading and most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges.

Coinstash Launches Exclusive Private Service as HNWI Demand Grows

We’re proud to name Coinstash the winner of the ‘Altcoins’ award in the <a href="https://www.finder.com.au/finder-awards/product-awards/crypto-trading-platform-awards" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Finder Crypto Trading Platform Awards 2024</a>. This is the second year running that we’ve given this award to Coinstash - a testament to the unrivaled range of tradable coins it offers to its users.&nbsp; Coinstash currently lists more than 1,000 cryptocurrencies, more than 5 times the average <a href="https://www.finder.com.au/cryptocurrency/exchanges" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">exchange in Australia</a>, according to our research.&nbsp; We’d especially like to highlight Coinstash’s DeFi Connector feature, which lets users trade cryptocurrencies across different blockchains including Avalanche, Arbitrum and Optimism.&nbsp;&nbsp; As a result, Coinstash users can trade an extensive range of decentralised finance (DeFi) coins that aren’t generally offered by other exchanges.&nbsp; Normally users would need to create their own wallets and interact with decentralised exchanges (DEX) on-chain in order to trade many of these coins. This requires a degree of technical proficiency that the average investor may be uncomfortable with. Instead, Coinstash has made trading these coins accessible, giving investors more opportunities and the chance to better diversify their portfolios.&nbsp; Congratulations to Coinstash from everyone here at Finder.&nbsp; The Finder Crypto Trading Platform Awards 2024 recognises the best crypto trading platforms in Australia across 6 categories. To determine the "best" crypto platforms for Australians, our experts analysed 12 months of data from 16 exchanges across more than 45 categories.For more information on the awards program and the full methodology, visit: <a href="https://www.finder.com.au/finder-awards/product-awards/crypto-trading-platform-awards" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.finder.com.au/finder-awards/product-awards/crypto-trading-platform-awards</a>

We are witnessing an exciting shift in the crypto space, with more seasoned traders and investors entering the market from traditional finance, demanding a higher degree of proficiency and trustworthiness from their chosen crypto trading platforms.
