Coinhills

What Coinhills does

Coinhills is a Seoul-based cryptocurrency market data aggregation platform founded in 2014, providing real-time price indices and trading data aggregated from more than 80 global digital currency exchanges. Its core product is the CSPA (Coinhills Spot Price Average) Index, a volume-weighted global benchmark that normalizes all trading pairs to USD using live foreign-exchange rates; the platform tracks 1,692 digital currencies, 27,735 markets, and approximately $252 billion in 24-hour aggregate traded volume across registered exchanges. The product suite includes a Bitcoin Monitor, Market Finder (exchange discovery ranked by trading volume), a centralized Dashboard, a Newsreader aggregating crypto and blockchain news, an ICO Projects Tracker, and National Currency Rankings. The site is localized in English, Korean, and Chinese, serving a global audience of retail and institutional crypto traders, developers integrating data via the Public API, and financial/media analysts seeking a standardized price benchmark.

The underlying technology is a proprietary crawling infrastructure that ingests live tickers from 80+ exchanges at roughly one-minute updates; this underwrites the CSPA methodology and feeds a public-facing website plus a documented REST API exposing CSPA index values, 24-hour changes, and platform status metrics (with attribution required for external use). The company operates an API-first, self-serve go-to-market model with no direct sales force: user acquisition occurs organically through search, the multilingual site, a newsreader content property, and a referral/affiliate partner network that includes exchange OKEx and several crypto media outlets. The Terms of Use indicate the website is owned and operated by Coinhills, while the site footer credits Bithumb; the relationship between Coinhills and Bithumb is not explicitly disclosed, and no funding rounds, investors, or revenue figures are available in the source material.

The business model is freemium with no publicly disclosed pricing: the platform and Public API are offered free to users, and the company has not published commercial tiers, paid subscriptions, or named enterprise customers. Indirect monetization pathways are plausible — referral fees from exchange partners, sponsorship arrangements, and potential commercial data licensing — but none are confirmed. With 101-250 employees, no disclosed investors, and a fully free product surface, the company is operated more as an infrastructure/data utility than a monetized SaaS, leaving its revenue stream materially opaque.

Direct peers

• CoinGecko: CoinGecko is the largest independent crypto market data aggregator, tracking prices across hundreds of exchanges and thousands of coins via a free website plus paid API tiers. It directly competes with Coinhills on the same core product: aggregated prices, exchange rankings, and developer APIs.
• CoinMarketCap: CoinMarketCap is the most widely cited crypto price-tracking website, owned by Binance, offering aggregated prices, exchange rankings, and developer data products. It overlaps almost 1:1 with Coinhills' CSPA-index, Market Finder, and API offerings.
• CryptoCompare: CryptoCompare is a London-based crypto market data provider offering aggregated indices, exchange data, and institutional-grade APIs. It competes with Coinhills both at the consumer price-aggregation layer and at the institutional data-licensing layer that Coinhills aspires to.
• Coinpaprika: Coinpaprika is a crypto market data aggregator providing prices, volumes, ICO tracking, and a developer API across a similar breadth of coins and exchanges. It is a niche direct competitor to Coinhills in the free aggregator category.

• Nomics: Nomics built and commercialized the 'Nomics Trusted Volume' methodology and a paid market data API before being acquired by CoinMarketCap. Its transparent volume-weighting approach is closely analogous to Coinhills' CSPA methodology.
