2025 marked an important turning point for Coimex. In this article, we share where we stand today, drawing strength from the solid foundations we built in the past, and outline our growth vision as it takes shape toward 2026. Starting from the key steps taken in 2023 and 2024, we summarize the developments throughout 2025 and our plans for the period ahead.
2023: Phase One, Model Was Validated with Web2
2023 marked the year in which Phase 1 (Web2), focused more on validation than scale, was clearly concluded for Coimex. In the period leading up to this point, Coimex built a global network of approximately 50,000 qualified SMEs engaged in food import and export across more than 100 countries. From this broad network, a smaller paying member pool was formed, operating under an annual membership model and based on a high level of trust. Through this closed Web2 structure, designed around references and review (due diligence) processes, both online and in-person meetings were conducted between companies, and a limited number of real foreign trade transactions were successfully completed. As a result, Coimex completed Phase 1 by clearly demonstrating that its business model works and that product–market fit had been achieved.
2024: Phase 2 and the Web3 Transformation
2024 marked the year in which Phase 2 began for Coimex and the company deliberately shifted toward Web3 with a clear strategy. Anticipating the expected bull cycle in the crypto market, the team structure was reorganized; to strengthen the blockchain-focused vision, Fatih joined the team as CTO, and the technical infrastructure was rebuilt end to end to be fully Web3-compatible.
In the same year, EXIM Token met investors through an IEO conducted on Bitexen and delivered approximately 2.5x performance during its launch period. This was followed by the rollout of core products such as Escrow Safe Payment and PromptPay Assurance. The first 90-day seasonal staking pool was launched with a guaranteed return of 3.3% and was successfully completed at the end of the period by reaching twice this guarantee, delivering a 6.6% return.
Throughout 2024, four agricultural commodity tokens—APRI, SUNS, NUTP, and CAJU—were launched. In particular, the SUNS Token (Sunflower Seeds) demonstrated the ecosystem’s potential in a tangible way by enabling an investor who bought at the harvest-time low to achieve a 40% return in USD in just two weeks and then redeploy those gains into another commodity.
2024 became a year for Coimex in which transformation was supported not only by vision but also by measurable results. Throughout the year, Coimex’s growing visibility found tangible resonance both in national media and within the crypto ecosystem through an interview broadcast on NTV, a booth at Blockchain Expo World, and Selhattin’s talk on the RWA panel.
2025: A Resilient Ecosystem and New Products
An Unexpected Transition Period and Investor Protection
During the transition from 2024 to 2025, an entirely unexpected development occurred for Coimex and EXIM Token. This situation made it necessary for EXIM Token’s listing on Bitexen to come to an end, and this process, which unfolded outside the company’s control, led to a temporary deviation in the roadmap, a contraction on the liquidity side, and the postponement of the planned global exchange listing. During this period, the priority was the protection of investors and the security of assets. EXIM Token’s smart contract was updated; all token holders originating from Bitexen were put through a KYC process and their assets were redistributed on a one-to-one basis. In the same process, EXIM Token completed a comprehensive verification process conducted by SolidProof, achieving KYC Gold Tier status; this verification represents a holistic security approval encompassing smart contract auditing, Coimex’s corporate KYB process, and individual KYC checks for the executive team.
To support price continuity during the transition period, a temporary liquidity pool was created on LFJ (former Trader Joe), one of the largest DEXs in the Avalanche ecosystem. Following the completion of the process, EXIM was relaunched on WEEX, a mid-sized global crypto exchange; this relaunch resulted in a successful repositioning, with price stability maintained and approximately 5.6x performance, and the token subsequently became transparently trackable on a global scale by being listed on CoinGecko.
New Products and Successful Developments
In the same year, a strategic new service was added to the Coimex roadmap: AgroPool. Previously, agricultural commodities were purchased directly from farmers at harvest time and then tokenized; with AgroPool, the door was opened for crypto investors to support agricultural production through crowdfunding starting from the seed stage. Throughout 2025, the AgroPool product was brought to its final alpha testing phase, with launch preparations reaching the completion stage.
Throughout 2025, four 90-day seasonal staking pools operated fully as planned. While the amount of EXIM staked increased in each pool, returns consistently exceeded the minimum guaranteed level of 3.3%. An investor who staked EXIM for an entire year achieved an approximate 23% annual return (APR) through compound effect. During the same period, despite sharp downturns in the crypto market, the EXIM Token price managed to hold its ground; investors were able to increase their holdings through staking.
On the commodity token side, WATS (Watermelon Seeds) was added to the ecosystem in the summer, followed by PUMS (Pumpkin Seeds) in the autumn. In particular, the WATS Token stood out by delivering a return that outperformed gold during the summer period.
Global Events and Investor Meetings
In the final quarter of the year, the Coimex team participated in Singapore Token2049, Dubai Blockchain Life, and Thailand Blockchain Week, holding advanced-level discussions with numerous global investors and strategic partners. Three critical takeaways emerged from these meetings: strong interest in agricultural commodity tokenization, high demand for moving foreign trade payments to an on-chain settlement model via stablecoins, and the willingness of both centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX) to integrate Coimex’s commodity tokens into their platforms in order to offer investors new, real-value-backed products. In this context, by the end of 2025 Coimex began conducting integration-focused discussions concurrently with 6–7 different global exchanges.
2026: A New Growth Phase
Coimex is preparing to enter a new growth phase with the investment round expected to be completed at the very beginning of 2026. The focus of this process includes TVL-focused initiatives, the integration of agricultural commodity tokens into centralized and decentralized exchanges, and the planned major global exchange listing for EXIM Token. In parallel, with AgroPool going live, a model that enables agricultural production to be financed from the seed stage through crowdfunding will become active. All of these steps will allow the Coimex ecosystem to reach a broader impact across both the investment and real trade sides. 2026 will be a year in which the structure built to date becomes visible on a global scale, products begin to scale, and the company advances into its next growth stage with strong momentum.
