Poloniex, LLC (“Poloniex”) is a digital asset exchange founded in January 2014 by Tristan D’Agosta. Initially based in the United States, the company has undergone several significant transitions:
-
Acquisition by Circle: In February 2018, Poloniex was acquired by Circle Internet Financial Ltd. for $400 million.
-
Spin-Out and New Ownership: By October 2019, Poloniex separated from Circle to form an independent entity named Polo Digital Assets, Ltd.. This transition was backed by a consortium of investors, including Justin Sun, the founder of TRON.
-
Relocation: Following its spin-out, Poloniex ceased operations for U.S. customers and relocated its headquarters. While some sources indicate a move to Bermuda,
others suggest a relocation to Seychelles.
Additionally, there are references to Panama City, Panama as the current headquarters.
This discrepancy highlights the need for further verification regarding the exact current headquarters of Poloniex.
