Exchanges

CEX/DEX registry + trust scores.

CEX vs DEX

  • CEX (Centralised): Operated by a company, custodial wallets, KYC required, higher liquidity
  • DEX (Decentralised): Smart-contract based, non-custodial, no KYC, liquidity via pools
  • Use the CEX/DEX filter to compare segments

Ranking Methodology

  • CoinGecko Trust Score based on web traffic, API coverage, liquidity, and trading activity
  • Lower rank = more trusted (1 is best)
  • Click column header to sort ascending/descending

Column Interpretation

  • Trade Vol.: Normalised 24h volume in BTC
  • #Coins: Number of unique coins listed
  • #Pairs: Number of trading pairs (e.g. BTC/USDT)
  • Estd.: Year the exchange was established

How to Use

  • High #Pairs with low volume may indicate thin liquidity across many markets
  • Tap a row for detailed exchange info
  • Snapshot data from CoinGecko — not real-time
