Company Description
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. | 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. |
