A financial instruments exchange is a regulated marketplace where various financial products, such as stocks, bonds, derivatives, and now increasingly digital assets, are traded. These platforms provide infrastructure for price discovery, liquidity, and secure transaction execution. They operate under specific rules designed to ensure fair and orderly trading, investor protection, and market transparency. Exchanges serve as central hubs for capital allocation.
