What are Crypto Exchanges?
Crypto Exchanges are platforms and tools that enable the buying, selling, and trading of cryptocurrencies and digital assets. This category includes centralized exchanges (CEXs), decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and hybrid models that facilitate asset swaps, order book management, liquidity provision, and price discovery. Developers and product teams use these tools to integrate trading functionalities, access market data, or build new exchange services within their applications. Key characteristics of crypto exchanges include support for multiple tokens, secure transaction processing, user account management, and compliance with regulatory requirements where applicable. Subcategories include spot trading, derivatives trading, and liquidity aggregation services. Developers should explore tools in this category when they need to enable asset exchange capabilities, connect to market liquidity, or build trading features into their web3 products.
