Case in point, our platform was recently approved for a Money Transmitter License in the U.S. District of Columbia, joining CEX.IO’s 30+ accreditations across the United States.&
Our U.S.-based users have always been able to buy and sell crypto through a variety of convenient means. But now, trading on our Spot Trading platform is also available in the region!&
Follow along as we delve deeper into how our trading platform caters to varying risk appetites among U.S.-based crypto enthusiasts, empowering all users to pursue emerging opportunities.&
What makes CEX.IO Spot Trading different?
CEX.IO Spot Trading features a variety of tools designed to empower beginners as well as established traders. However, providing our customers with deeper liquidity was the foundational purpose of this platform.&
So what is this deep liquidity, and how does it work? Let’s look at a straightforward example.
Imagine you want to buy milk. Typically, you might choose to visit the nearest supermarket. The upside? The store may be close to your home. The potential downside? The price may not be the most affordable, or the store could be out of milk altogether (a lack of liquidity).&
Now, imagine a slightly different scenario: you visit your nearest supermarket, and instead of being able to buy only the milk on the shelves, the store also offers access to other supermarkets’ inventories — in one place. This hypothetical scenario has three distinct advantages:
- A greater selection of milk
- Potentially better prices
- One-stop shop availability
If you observe the example above and swap the word “milk” with “crypto,” you’ll arrive at an understanding of how our CEX.IO Spot Trading platform achieves deep liquidity. Turns out it’s not a hypothetical scenario at all!
The technical side of CEX.IO Spot Trading
Our trading platform uses the CEX.IO trading engine, and CEX.IO Prime as its liquidity provider.&
On the one hand, the CEX.IO trading engine engages market makers to provide unique liquidity. Market makers place their orders directly via the market making API, with resting limit orders from Spot Trading.
Access to this trading engine is available to all Spot Trading users via our revamped mobile application, a web terminal interface, and API. Therefore, anyone can be a market maker on CEX.IO. For example, if you use our Spot Trading platform to place a limit/stop limit order (which is not executed immediately), you’re helping to increase the liquidity of the CEX.IO trading engine.
On the other hand — and, complementary to the CEX.IO trading engine — CEX.IO Prime uses the most liquid sources outside the CEX.IO ecosystem to aggregate liquidity. Examples of these sources include liquidity pools, decentralized exchanges, other centralized exchanges, etc.&
Consequently, the CEX.IO Spot Trading terminal displays a potent mix of liquidity provided to our users — internally and externally.
We’ll offer more in-depth guides on how to trade on our platform, specific to& U.S.-based users, soon. In the meantime, keep reading to learn how to make your CEX.IO ecosystem experience even more seamless, by streamlining your payment methods.&
