How CEXPing started.
It started in late 2023. A small group of crypto traders were manually refreshing exchange pages, running janky scripts that broke every week, and paying for expensive tools that were still too slow. The problem wasn't awareness everyone knew new listings pumped. The problem was timing.
We built the first version of CEXPing in 6 weeks as an internal tool. It connected directly to exchange WebSocket streams not their public APIs, not announcement feeds the raw market data itself. The first time we caught a Binance listing 4 seconds before it appeared on any other alert service, we knew we had something real.
The first version was a Telegram bot. Thirty traders used it. Then three hundred. Today, over 12,000 active traders rely on CEXPing every day from solo retail traders to algorithmic trading firms running fully automated pipelines through our webhook API.
We've rebuilt the infrastructure three times to improve latency and reliability. We added AI listing prediction, volume spike detection, and the webhook API because our users asked for it. We're still a small, focused team and we intend to stay that way. Every feature we ship has to make the core product faster, more reliable, or more useful.
CEXPing is profitable, independent, and building for the long term. No VC pressure. No growth-at-all-costs. Just fast, accurate listing alerts for serious traders.
