Cryptocurrency exchanges play a key role in the cryptocurrency market, as they are the primary means of exchange in a market valued at over $450 billion. There are two types of cryptocurrency exchanges, which are centralised exchanges and decentralised exchanges.
A centralised exchange is one where deposits, withdrawals, and the order book, are controlled by one party, which is the exchange. Simply put, the exchange holds depositors’ funds and a record of buy and sell transactions. Examples of centralised exchange include Luno and Binance.
In a decentralised exchange, there are no middle parties. Transactions are directly between users. Examples of decentralised exchanges include EtherDelta and Idex.
