At the beginning of the Bit Coin launched, it's just a transaction system to use for transfer money without central management. Each of block chain has unique serious numbers and limited for 20,000,000 blockchains. Users saw the opportunity and start collect it as valued product like real currency.
Cryptocurrency has another name of virtual currency because of the reason of people are trying to collect it like a product.
Like crypto-assets, the increase
in the number of crypto exchanges has yet to raise sufficient
concerns from a security perspective. However, their impact on consumer protection and money laundering has
prompted regulatory intervention.
In 2018, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that
"if a platform offers trading of digital assets that are securities and
operates as an "exchange," as defined by federal securities laws,
then the platform must register with the SEC as a national securities exchange
or be exempt from registration". The trading of cryptocurrency derivatives
publicly is now permitted by Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
In Asia, Japan is more forthcoming as their
Government issued regulations mandating the need for a special license from the
Financial Services Authority to operate a crypto exchange. China and Korea
remain hostile, with China banning bitcoin miners and freezing bank accounts.
Crypto exchanges are fast
becoming integral to the crypto-asset ecosystem. For
those that want to trade professionally and have access to fancy trading tools,
you will likely need to use an exchange that requires you to open an account. For those that just
want to make the occasional, straightforward trade, there are also platforms
that you can use that do not require an account.
The three main types of crypto exchanges are
Centralized, Decentralized and Hybrid exchanges. Each have their own pros and
cons and ultimately it comes down to what individual users want and need.
Here is a breakdown of the different types of
exchanges:
Centralized Exchange (CEX)
Centralised Exchanges are traditional
cryptocurrency exchanges governed by an entity of central organization that
offers cryptocurrency trades from either fiat-to-crypto or crypto-to-crypto.
Decentralised Exchange (DEX)
Using blockchain technology, the decentralized
exchanges are built to ensure there is a secure way for the transfer of
cryptocurrencies without any central figure. Essentially the platform acts as a
service which connects trade orders with one another to serve customers looking
to exchange tokens. These trades are considered peer-to-peer or
customer-to-customer. Most decentralized exchanges operate using Ethereum’s
blockchain in order to conduct services through the use of smart contracts.
