CET: What Holding CoinEx Token Means

CET is CoinEx’s exchange and ecosystem token. You may be able to use it for trading-fee discounts on CoinEx or to pay fees and purchase other platform services. Those benefits depend on CoinEx’s current rules, your account and the products available to you; holding CET does not automatically guarantee a discount on every trade or service.

CET is also described as the native token of CoinEx Chain, a public chain built for decentralized exchange activity. That gives it a role beyond CoinEx’s centralized exchange, but do not assume every CoinEx product or third-party application accepts CET. Check the exact terms, eligible trading pairs and any minimum balance requirements before relying on a benefit. CET is a token, not a share in CoinEx, and holding it does not give you ownership of the exchange or a claim on its profits.

CoinEx issued CET in January 2018 and describes it as the native token of CoinEx Chain, whose mainnet launched in November 2019. CET is also issued on Ethereum. These are separate networks: a wallet or exchange deposit address for one network may not accept a transfer sent on the other.

For self-custody, choose a wallet that explicitly supports the network you intend to use and the relevant CET token. An Ethereum-compatible wallet may hold the Ethereum-issued version; support for CoinEx Chain needs to be checked separately. Before sending a meaningful amount, confirm the network and token details in your wallet or on CoinEx, then make a small test transfer if appropriate. Do not select a network just because the token ticker matches. If you keep CET on CoinEx, the exchange controls the wallet keys and access is subject to its account and withdrawal rules.

As of 2026-09-30, CET’s reported circulating and total supply was about 2.44 billion tokens, with a maximum supply of 10 billion. The gap between current supply and the stated maximum means the maximum is not the same as the amount currently circulating. Supply figures can change, so check them again before making a decision based on token scarcity.

CET’s market price and market capitalization also move over time. On 2026-09-30, its reported price was about $0.005 and its market capitalization about $12.2 million; these are snapshots, not forecasts or guaranteed values. A high maximum supply does not by itself tell you whether a token is cheap or expensive. Consider whether you would use CET’s exchange benefits, how much value depends on CoinEx, and whether you could tolerate a substantial loss. Do not treat any token supply figure as a reason on its own to buy or hold.

Your main choice is between keeping CET on CoinEx and taking custody in a compatible wallet. Exchange custody can be simpler for using platform features, but you depend on CoinEx to maintain account access and withdrawals. With self-custody, you control the keys; losing them or exposing your recovery phrase can make your tokens unrecoverable or let someone else take them.

Before withdrawing, verify the receiving network, token and address. Never share a recovery phrase or private key, and be wary of messages or sites asking you to connect a wallet or sign an unexpected transaction. CET also carries market and project risks: its usefulness may change if CoinEx changes its benefits, services or network support, and token prices can fall sharply. Exchange access and rules may vary by location. Check local access and the current terms before depositing or moving funds, and only hold an amount you can afford to lose.
