Exchanges (CEX)

Not all exchanges are a safe place to buy and trade crypto. Here are some exchanges that at least seem to be taking care of regulations and security. But always move your long term positions away from exchanges and store your keys onto hardware wallets! Remember: Not your keys, not your coins!

Decentralised Exchanges (DEX)

Dexes are not owned by a company. They are just smart contracts and your coins need to be on a wallet, like MetaMask, to swap on a Dex.

Wallets
