Company Description
CEX.io is a British company that changed its focus from mining into becoming a cryptocurrency exchange. CEX has made an effort to add many coins, and boasts of fill-or-kill (FOK) orders that allow for some of the industry’s fastest trading, but it has a poor record on privacy and transparency that should give pause to traders. | OKEx is a relatively new exchange that allows cryptocurrency investors to trade a wide variety of fiat and crytpo pairs. Although it is based in China, and caters to the Chinese market, it has a platform that is easy to use in all languages, and has quickly become one of the largest exchanges, by volume, in the world. The highly secure platform provides high liquidity, and has a number of other advantages. | AirSwap is working to create a decentralized peer-to-peer exchange for ERC-20 tokens. Instead of using a centralized order book to execute trades, AirSwap is developing an indexer that will act like a search engine to connect traders. The AirSwap Oracle gives pricing recommendations in a way that is drastically different than the market maker pricing of centralized exchanges. The exchange is fueled by the AST token, which allows anyone to become a liquidity maker. |
