Cryptopia is an all-in-one cryptocurrency exchange platform. The platform also offers a cloud mining venture (Mineshaft), a marketplace, an altcoins knowledge base (CoinInfo), and an arbitrage tool. Cryptopia does not support fiat currencies but it does provide a tool to convert New Zealand Dollars to NZDT, which can then be used on the platform.

The Cryptopia website is quite large and sprawling and the trading platform is somewhat complicated, making it daunting at first for new users. However, account set-up is simple and initial verification is quick and only requires an email address. It is a great exchange for users wanting to trade less popular altcoins or for casual traders. For the big players there are better alternatives.

Cryptopia is unique in that it offers its clients a unique authentication device for 2 factor identification. However there is some speculation about the security of the platform and developers have identified weaknesses. This platform features a great exchange but users should remember it is not a wallet.

The Cryptopia exchange was created by Cryptopia Limited, an LLC corporation in Christchurch, New Zealand. The company has been active since November 2014 and was founded by Adam Clark and Rob Dawson. The major aim of Cryptopia is to make cryptocurrency available to everyone and to provide an all-in-one platform with many features.

Summary:

Cryptopia is a multi-altcoin exchange that offers mining pools, a crypto marketplace, and arbitrage in an all-in-one platform. It is a solid exchange that is worth trying, especially if you are interested in getting your hands on cryptos with smaller market caps before they get too big and appear on other exchanges. The platform does seem to be somewhat underdeveloped compared to major exchanges.

Margin trading is not offered and a lot of confirmations are required to trade altcoins.
