Making crypto trading more accessible

In a nutshell

Problem

Users were dropping off before they can buy or sell crypto

New users of the Coins app did not understand the concept of cryptocurrency while enthusiasts complained that the app wasn’t helpful in making trading decisions and severely lacked currencies.

Solution

I managed the release of new crypto features that improved the trading experience

Features include sharing information about crypto, accessing prices without opening the app and support for more coins.

Marketing insights

Unmatched brand recognition

To those who know crypto, Coins.ph is the dominant app in the Philippines. Aside from being the first, we still offered an easy way to buy and sell coins. This would be helpful in engaging users later on.

Workshops & ideation

Keeping everyone aligned

I conducted a series of workshops in the company to understand the different perspectives from the various departments in the company. This was done remotely with Invision Freehand.

Solution

Releasing a slew of features, wagmi

I designed and managed the release of these multiple features to further drive users to trade cryptocurrencies.

Adding more entry points

Trading coins could only be done through the Convert screen previously. I also designed features that did not require customers to open our app just to check prices.

More to come

We still had more plans for the product but these were deprioritized due to manpower and time constraints. We also considered how useful these would be to our target audience and deemed that other features were more important.

Outcome

To the moon

As Bitcoin reached all-time highs by December 2020, so did our conversions.

More engagement

More users were reading articles about cryptocurrency and have initiated their first trades.

In just 2 weeks

138%

13%

increase in total trading crypto volume

15%
