Cryptocurrency Exchange
A cryptocurrency exchange is a platform where users can buy, sell, and trade digital assets. Exchanges can be centralized, offering user-friendly interfaces and custodial services, or decentralized, allowing peer-to-peer trading through smart contracts. They serve as key gateways between traditional finance and the crypto market. Liquidity, security, and regulation vary widely across exchanges. Choosing the right exchange is a critical decision for crypto users.
