What is a cryptocurrency exchange?

A cryptocurrency exchange is a digital platform where individuals can buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies with other individuals or entities. These exchanges allow users to exchange one type of cryptocurrency for another, or to trade cryptocurrencies for fiat currency, such as US dollars or Euros.

Cryptocurrency exchanges are similar to traditional stock exchanges, providing a marketplace for buyers and sellers to trade assets. However, unlike traditional exchanges, cryptocurrency exchanges operate 24/7, and are accessible from anywhere worldwide as long as you have an internet connection. Additionally, cryptocurrency exchanges typically offer a wider range of assets to trade, including both popular and lesser-known cryptocurrencies. These exchanges typically charge fees for trading and withdrawals, which can vary depending on the platform and the type of transaction.
