Cryptocurrency exchange Woo X has introduced a new feature called "copy trading," which allows traders to automatically follow and copy the trades of more experienced traders, the firm said on Monday.

Speculation Keeps the Market Honest: Analyst

Copy trading, or “social trading,” as Woo X calls it, is not new in either crypto or traditional finance. The practice of easily availing customers of the returns made by the most successful traders was made popular by Israeli fintech platform eToro. It is also offered by several large crypto exchanges, including Binance and OKX.

However, the existing model required recalibration, according to Woo X COO Willy Chuang, such that lead traders don’t just profit from exchange fees or other misaligned incentives. Another improvement was finding a way to reduce the consistent pressure on lead traders to always out-perform, which prompted Woo X to add the flexibility of a countertrade option.

“We conducted extensive research and identified clear pain points for users,” Chuang said in an interview. “Many of the reported returns are misleading or unsustainable, and in some cases, users were being shilled by lead traders. We've introduced a higher profit threshold that protects users, ensuring that profits are only shared with lead traders when the portfolios are genuinely profitable.”
