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. | UNUS SED LEO is an initiative started by Bitfinex that is focused on increasing the exchange's transparency. UNUS SED LEO means "one, but it's a lion" in Latin. The iniatative was created to increase the transparency of the exchange's finances, following a controversy related to the allocation of reserves from the stablecoin Tether, that was created by the same parent company as the Bitfinex exchange, iFinex. It is built around a token burning redemption mechanism which is tied to the parent company's revenues. Their dashboard provides insights into the fees that are collected, and the LEO tokens that are burned. | Gate.io is a crypto to crypto exchange based in the USA. It is an unregulated exchange and does not accept US clients. They offer one of the widest selections of tokens. Trading Fee: 0.2% Gate.io has received many negative reviews regarding difficulties withdrawing funds. |
