Five white-label crypto exchange platforms that will set you up for success
Setting up a crypto-currency exchange offers enormous business potential in a market where trade in cryptocurrencies is booming globally. However, competition is intensifying as the number of crypto-exchanges multiplies.
Since October last year, the number of exchanges listed on coinmarketcap has increased by 31% to 341 exchanges. This steep increase not only shows the growth in the market for trading platforms but also highlights how important it will be for your platform to stand out so that you become the crypto-currency exchange of choice for crypto-traders.
So how can you get in on the action quickly and set up a cryptocurrency exchange that will offer you all the functionality you believe will set you up for future success? You can develop an exchange platform from scratch, or you can buy a turnkey, white-label platform that allows you to get up and running in a matter of weeks.
These two paths offer different benefits and drawbacks, so it is worth taking the time to consider which will best suit not only your immediate but also your long-term, needs.
To build a crypto-currency exchange, you will need considerable technical expertise, resources and time to develop a platform that can compete with those already on the market. Whereas a white-label platform offers a ready-made, cost-effective solution that you can brand and customize to bring alive your vision of what a crypto-currency should be providing your target market.
There are several realities you need to consider when deciding whether to build your cryptocurrency platform. These include:

Of course, if you decide to go with the white-label solution option when building your exchange, you will need to choose that company that has the most experience, the best track record and a range of capabilities and solutions that best meet your needs.
Things you will need to take into consideration when you are making your choice include the solution architecture a company uses, the platform's digital assets storage capabilities, compliance standards, security, scalability for future growth and what costs are involved.
To help you narrow down the choices, we have identified a list of the top 5 white label cryptocurrency exchange solutions and highlighted why they are worth considering and what they have to offer.
