What Flipster does

Flipster is a privately held crypto derivatives exchange founded in 2023 and domiciled in Singapore (Flipster Corp). The platform offers perpetual futures and spot trading across 400+ pairs and 250+ tokens, with up to 100x leverage, serving over one million registered users globally. Flipster targets active crypto traders seeking low fees and deep liquidity, yield-seeking holders who want passive returns on stablecoin-heavy balances (98%+ of deposit/withdrawal flow is stablecoins), and adjacent communities such as memecoin traders and esports fans reached through partnership-driven acquisition.

The platform is built on a modular architecture combining core trading (perpetual futures, spot, copy trading) with engagement and yield modules (Flipster Earn, Dynamic Earn, Launchpool, Rewards Hub, Sparks Auction). Security infrastructure is anchored by Fireblocks MPC custody and cold wallet management, Chainalysis for on-chain analytics, 1:1 asset protection with publicly verifiable Proof of Reserves, ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and an AAA CER.live exchange rating. Distribution is entirely self-serve across web and native iOS/Android applications, supported by referral, affiliate, and VIP programs.

Revenue is generated transactionally: maker/taker trading fees starting at 0.05% and stepping down to 0.025% at top VIP tiers, withdrawal fees that vary by token and network, and spread/yield capture on earn products and launchpools. Flipster claims a roughly 75-80% cost advantage versus Binance and OKX per $1M traded. Go-to-market combines product-led growth with event-driven activations (TOKEN2049 Silver Sponsorship, Southeast Asia Blockchain Week 2025) and community-led engagement (Telegram, X, Meme Coin Carnival, Pudgy Penguins IP collaborations, PSG TALON esports partnership).
