William Kehl discusses Coinigy 2.0 launch with Binance Futures

0:00I'm Ashton Addison from event chain for investmentpitch media and FinTech news network and today on blockchain interviews we have William Kael the president of quanta G William welcome to the show it's a pleasure to have you here today hey thanks so much for having me really appreciate it you're very welcome I'm really excited to dive deep into quanta G because it is such a great

0:20platform inside of the cryptocurrency industry so if you could start by giving an overview of you know the problems that are faced by traders and investors throughout the cryptocurrency industry and what are the solutions that quantity is providing to provide benefit throughout these guys yeah sure so really the main issue that new traders come to us are facing is you know they

0:44have exchange they have cryptocurrency on different exchanges all over the place and you know when you're using just one exchange it's fine and dandy everything's in a single account it's easy to manage you know you can log into that single exchange and kind of place trades and do whatever it is you need to do the minute you open a second exchange account because you want to invest in a

1:08different currency that wasn't available on the first exchange you now have multiple you know logins multiple two-factor authentication to get through it just gets exponentially harder to manage everything the more exchanges you connect basically so co energy exists basically as a way to streamline on your access to your own funds so you're able to connect you know various exchange

1:36accounts to your coin AG account directly and as essentially used coin AG kind of as a remote control to place trades check your balances throughout the day we offer some advanced orders that the exchanges don't provide directory directly and we also have you know a lot of cool bells and whistles that you don't necessarily get on the exchange 70 technical analysis indicators price

2:01alerts volume alerts and just a slew of other features that you can't necessarily get access to on a single exchange versus coming to an aggregator like house it's really interesting that you can I can imagine there are some coins that are only available in certain exchanges and once you have a few exchanges open it can be quite a hassle to manage so

2:24with Coe energy how many different exchanges can you integrate in at once or how many exchanges are you partnered with sure so we have over our history just just to give you a little backstory we've been around in the space since 2014 and the last time I checked our database we were over 75 exchanges integrated with no that's over time so we'd see in exchanges come and go

2:50obviously you've seen that yourself being in this industry so it's nice to be able to basically connect everything to coin AG right now we're at I believe around 40 exchanges are live on the platform now you can't necessarily trade through all of them but we do have portfolio monitoring for the vast majority of them so you know that's that's going to be growing it's also

3:12worth mentioning too that you can connect I believe around 120 different cryptocurrency wallets 2.0 G so you know if you have let's say Z cash actually Z cash is the one example we can't track necessary but let's say you have let's say you have something other than Z cash that you want to track you can plug in your X pub or your public key into coinage E and keep track with that

3:38through a single app and you don't have to mm-hmm keep logging in or you know we we don't have access to your funds so that's kind of a security feature as well hmm that's really interesting and with the api's there are different levels of api's I believe some of them you can just view the balances and some of them you can trade so what you're saying is you're able to trade with up

4:02to 40 you know usually you'll have a handful maybe of exchanges on one interface through corners you use that right yeah basically you know it kind of depends how prominent the exchanges will generally speaking will add the exchange first just for charting reasons so that's why we have some of these lesser-known exchanges that you can't find on trading do like trade over for

4:27sample and that's kind of why we usually have been kind of leading the industry as far as adding new unknown exchanges we're big we're big all coin miners ourselves and I have been for years and all coin traders so you know we understand that while in exchange might not be popular today you might pick up steam in the next six months so we'll usually add an exchange for

4:50charting and kind of tap into their API at that point and add balance monitoring and then if there's community interests will add trading down the line and there's obviously a lot more involved when you're when you're building the trading integration and for a new exchange but we kind of just play it by ear we listen to what our users have to say and that's been working out pretty

5:10well for us great and how easy is it because when you're trading with Bitcoin to other smaller coins it's hard to sort of keep track of your Fiat balances and for tax purposes as well so I'm curious how advanced is the recording of the trading history and for tax purposes to be able to figure out what you went in with and what you came out with sure

5:31that's a great question so with our platform the way it is right now we have we're still kind of on our version one of our back end reporting system and we have version two now in staging and it's been in testing now for about a month so we're hopefully going to be opening that up within the next two months or so and that is going to give us access to a

5:54way wider array of granular trade data that you can then export to you know your favorite crypto accounting program like crypto trader dot tax for example is one we've partnered with them and we're gonna make it extremely easy for you to monitor your balances with cost basis accounting and things like that so you know right now we kind of just provide you the data as far as what

6:20trades were made not too much as far as profit and loss but we're making serious upgrades in the near future through that that's really good to know and one other thing about trading cryptocurrency is the markets are moving 24/7 and I see that quantity now has mobile applications for Android and iPhone for access oog as well can you talk about now what

6:42was the was it a community based movement behind that and are you seeing a lot of traction with the mobile applications yes so the impetus for the mobile apps was really you know users were sick of having to go to the web and log in to coin a G through the web application and things you know our version one of our platform V wasn't formatted the best for mobile so now

7:09we've gone ahead we've basically redesigned the entire interface and what we call coinage ev2 which is a lot more mobile-friendly but we've also now launched iOS and Android apps that tap into the same API and let you place trades on the go and it's just a lot more convenient to have that as a native app on your on your phone and your palm as opposed to having to go to a website

7:33which can sometimes be fickle as we all know trying to get onto websites on our mobile phones so there's been a great response I it definitely was community driven our users have been asking for it and that's really you know how we we let our users lead the way that's great and how is the platform been finding new users you know what is the marketing

7:56strategy and have you been partnering with exchanges in places where traders are inhabiting to to get them to come on to quantity yeah we've we've done a lot of community outreach really in the last year or so prior to that you know our main user acquisition channel is still just word of mouth and you know users that swear by it they'll tell their friends and you know

8:22eventually hopefully we get a sign up out of that but we have kind of been working more on tightly integrated partnerships with exchanges we've now got I think data agreements for every single exchange save for a few states for maybe one or two with the exchanges which is you know as this space matures that's a lot more important going forward just kind of having these

8:46tighter relationships with them especially from the security standpoint an operational standpoint so yeah it kind of has been evolving for us you know we've we've delved into online advertising quite a bit generally speaking you know crypto traders are a lot savvy er than your typical I guess online banner clicker so you know they they like to see the proof

9:12is in the pudding they'll do a lot of research before they sign up for a platform and I think you know our track record being around so long and and having having a good history and kind of a good vibe among traders has gone a long way definitely and when a product is good and you have that word of mouth that's a great way to have organic growth so it's good to hear that and I'm

9:35guessing as well that because you have a great library of api's for in developer tools that's probably helping with the growth you know what can potential partners use the API tools for and is that helping with the growth yes so if we're talking about the coinage EAP I it's it's really great you can connect your software application you can build it in any

10:00language and basically plug in coinage ease API keys your coinage eep Ikeys and you know playing around trading strategies you can back test through the API you can do a lot of cool stuff we have quite a few users that are consuming our API and you know I we definitely have quite a few applications out there then are using our API that you might not necessarily know about

10:30that we're kind of powering on the backend and have been for years which is really cool you know I kind of it it puts a little bit more weight on our shoulders but we appreciate that we're always up for the challenge definitely and that is a great feature and you have a lot of great features already but I'm guessing there's more in the roadmap and more features to come do

10:51you have a sneak peek of what is in the development timeline for the corniche users for the rest of this year and beyond yeah absolutely so the biggest thing hands down is our like I mentioned it before our version to trading integration we've kind of over the last several years rebuilt the entire back end of our platform so wherever there is a flaw in

11:18version one we've now mitigated that in version two and that includes all of our exchange connectors as well as their wallet connectors and that's going to make a major major difference you know kind of for the user experience going from version one to version two for for folks the other really important big thing that we've been working on is futures

11:41integration so you're gonna see by nads futures on the platform very shortly we've got a lot of kind of clever tools up our sleeve that we don't think a lot of futures traders have really utilized out there yet so we're building in new dials and things on the system that you can use while trading futures in addition to that we're working with some of our

12:04partners such as into the black to provide a lot more granular kind of interesting insights that are just you know technical indicators but they they really delve deep into the blockchain side of things and provide you know bearish and bullish signals that users can kind of view on the fly but we're working a little bit more closely with them we just added quote we market Cal

12:30events to the to the site under the insights tab on version 2 so that's really cool you can see you know keep up to date on any of the events for any of the three thousand-plus crypto currencies that we list on the site and we've got a lot coming in the way now that we have volume alerts we have that back-end system built so we're able to put a little bit more steam behind a

12:53community market scanner type application so that's going to be big for us we're really working towards launching version – that's very nearly a few feature completes with version one so that's kind of what we've been grinding on and definitely in a couple months we'll have a little bit more to share in the way of that awesome William that's great into the block is a
