The centralized exchange is in the lead.

We call it a centralized exchange, which provides users with business service platforms such as account system, real-name authentication, asset recharge, asset custody, matching transaction, asset liquidation and asset exchange. When buying and selling cryptocurrencies, users need to collect cryptocurrencies or coins from the exchange, and the exchange provides liquidity and conducts matching transactions and settlement.
