Here is my view about as an exchange, Poloniex is a crypto exchange released in 2014 by Tristan D’Agosta it was formerly headquartered in Delaware USA but now in Seychelles. It provides users with wide varieties of cryptocurrencies ranging from most popular ones to less popular ones, it only takes cryptocurrencies on its trading site and does not accept fiat deposit and Its daily trading volume is tremendous.
Its supported trading orders are selling order, buying order, and stop limit order, it also has a lending feature with interest rates. Poloniex uses market taker and market maker proposition in its trading fees charges in other to encourage good liquidity.
Its verification process involves, email name and country residence verification for a particular withdrawal limit, address information, mobile digits with photo identity which actually takes days to conclude verification for another particular withdrawal limit and finally it uses 2-factor authorization for its security. Poloniex users’ fund are stored in cold storage.
I hereby submit that it is certainly not an exchange for beginners and I advised it to be used by experienced traders for good result
