Crypto-Native Exchange

Definition

A Crypto-Native Exchange is a trading platform specifically designed and built for the exchange of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets. These platforms often support a wide array of digital asset pairs and may offer features like staking, lending, and decentralized finance integrations. Unlike traditional exchanges that later adopted digital assets, crypto-native platforms were conceived from the outset to serve this asset class. They typically prioritize speed, security, and a broad selection of digital offerings.
