<The March 2019 Exchange Review offers institutional and retail investors insights into key developments in the cryptocurrency exchange market and its participants.
As with previous reviews, it covers exchange rankings by volume; country analysis and predominant fee type model; derivatives and institutional products; fiat, Bitcoin and stablecoin volumes.
It is also focused on how volumes have developed historically for the top trans-fee mining and decentralised exchanges.
Here are highlights of the macro analysis and market segmentation.
