Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a CEX and a DEX?
A centralized exchange (CEX) is run by a company that holds your funds and matches orders on its own servers. A decentralized exchange (DEX) settles trades on-chain through smart contracts, so you keep custody of your assets in your own wallet.
How is the top 100 exchange ranking calculated?
Each exchange is scored on liquidity depth, real 24h trading volume, number of listed coins and pairs, fees, security track record, regulatory posture and user experience. Decentralized venues are additionally assessed on smart-contract audits and on-chain settlement quality.
How often is the data updated?
Trading volume and trading-pair counts are refreshed automatically several times a day from exchange APIs and major market-data providers. The timestamp of the latest refresh is shown above the ranking table.
Which crypto exchange is the best right now?
OKX currently leads our ranking, followed by Hyperliquid and Bitget. The best choice still depends on your needs: available markets in your country, fees, supported coins and whether you prefer custody with a platform or with your own wallet.
