Centralized Exchanges

6 stories
Centralized Exchanges groups custodial venues that maintain customer accounts and execute digital-asset trades through internal order books, brokerage systems or derivatives engines. The category spans global and regional platforms, fiat on-ramps, institution-focused venues and exchange-linked utility assets, but these entries differ in licensing, custody, market structure and withdrawal controls.

Decentralized exchanges, self-custody wallets, individual tokens and independent blockchains remain outside this parent tag.
