How Others See Us
“One of the most promising cryptocurrency exchanges globally” — CryptoVision
The Starting Point: From 0 to 1, Why Do We Exist?
In the winter of 2019, the founding team of MLPRU gathered to discuss one question: “With so many exchanges out there, why does the market still lack a platform truly designed for traders?”
At that time, the crypto market was undergoing a crisis. A severe efficiency divide existed between centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX), forcing users to compromise between “security” and “convenience”. What the market needed was an exchange that balanced compliance, security, and efficiency—not yet another compromise.
Thus, the vision for MLPRU Exchange was born. The goal was clear: to build a cryptocurrency exchange that adheres to global regulatory standards, features an efficient matching system, and meets the needs of traders across different levels.
However, this was only the beginning of the challenge.
The Rise of a New Force in Exchanges
Before users could see us, we were already on the move.
In April 2020, MLPRU officially opened pre-registration. At the time, our system was still in testing, but we decided to challenge the market, inviting global investors to anticipate a platform that had yet to launch. The results were astonishing: in just a few weeks, MLPRU attracted over one million users for pre-registration.
Why?
Because users were tired of opaque trading rules and longed for a truly fair and transparent market.
Because institutional investors needed a compliant, efficient platform, and the MLPRU vision aligned perfectly with their needs.
MLPRU promised to create an environment free from human manipulation, offering stable liquidity and a reliable trading experience.
Compliance as the Pathway to Global Market Entry
Finding order amidst chaos is the only way forward.
In 2020, the global regulatory environment began tightening. The U.S. SEC increased scrutiny of the crypto industry, while the European MiCA regulations entered legislative discussions. Leading exchanges like Binance and BitMEX faced compliance challenges. For MLPRU, survival meant finding a way within the rules.
In September, MLPRU officially partnered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the U.S. Department of the Treasury to initiate its compliance application process. While many crypto exchanges viewed compliance as a burden, MLPRU recognized that compliance was not an obstacle but the only ticket to accessing future markets.
During the process of obtaining the MSB license, MLPRU underwent months of audits, legal consultations, and repeated adjustments. This included optimizing KYC processes, strengthening AML (Anti-Money Laundering) systems, and restructuring trading pairs—all to ensure that MLPRU could operate as a stable, long-term global exchange. After achieving compliance, MLPRU acquired its entry pass to broader markets.
October: Official Launch, Redefining the Trading Experience
What should a trading platform truly designed for traders look like?
In October 2020, MLPRU was officially launched. At this moment, the vision finally became reality. The design philosophy of the MLPRU trading system drew inspiration from traditional financial markets, enhanced by cutting-edge blockchain technology. Its core features include:
Ultra-high concurrency matching engine: Matching speeds 30% faster than traditional exchanges, capable of handling millions of orders at peak performance.
Order book + AMM hybrid model: Addressing issues of insufficient market depth to ensure the execution efficiency of large trades.
Smart risk control system: Real-time monitoring of abnormal trades to prevent market manipulation, ensuring a fair trading environment.
In a fiercely competitive market, the MLPRU goal was always clear: not to follow but to create new industry standards. Within just two months, the MLPRU user base exceeded two million, with daily trading volumes surpassing $100 million. This was not ordinary growth—it marked a paradigm shift in the market.
In 2020, MLPRU achieved the leap from 0 to 1. From the construction of its trading system to the establishment of its compliance framework, market breakthroughs, and user growth, the foundation was laid. But this is far from enough.
Toward 2021, MLPRU aims to become a builder of the next generation of crypto financial infrastructure.
