Conclusion
Coinlib provide everything a modern crypto trader or investor needs – information regarding price action, market cap, historic volume and market trends to look out for. However, the development team behind the site are anonymous which in the modern crypto world immediately raises suspicions.

However, some of the trade tools and features are novel and therefore will appeal to those seeking a break away from market leaders like Coinmarketcap and CoinGecko.
