Exchange

A cryptocurrency exchange is a digital platform where users can buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies. Exchanges act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers, providing liquidity and price discovery for various cryptocurrencies. Some exchanges offer fiat-to-crypto trading, allowing users to purchase cryptocurrency with traditional currency, while others only support crypto-to-crypto trading. Exchanges may also offer additional features such as margin trading, lending, and staking.
