Morphology

coiner = coin (semi-transparent) = coin + er

Formed regularly from 'coin' + '-er', but the application to digital/cryptocurrency contexts is a metaphorical extension requiring domain knowledge.

Etymology

The word coiner comes from coin and the ending -er ('one who does'), where coin originally meant a stamped piece of money. That idea of 'making coins' now fits digital tokens too, so a coiner can mean someone who creates or issues cryptocurrency coins or tokens.
