Exchanges are the digital platform where you have access to buy,sell or trade crypto assets.One can also exchange cryptocurrency for other digital currency and for fiat( money established by the country for legal exchange purposes).It is impossible to buy crypto from bank therefore the exchanges are built for buy,sell or trade purposes. Those who want to trade more professionally and have a bigger stay in cryptocurrency,one should create an account on exchange with the help of proper ID to verify its account.

An exchange is where buyer and seller conduct their business.Real exchange are really just a medium between traders.You can set limit orders to buy/sell cryptocurrency for a certain price.Exchanges take a fee from each transaction.These platforms, due to their characteristics of origin and data protection, are divided into centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX).
