Crypto exchange: How insiders choose their trading venue
Choosing the right crypto exchange or broker is one of the key decisions every crypto investor faces. That's why, together with Prof. Dr. David Florysiak from IU International University, we asked 51 crypto insiders which criteria are particularly important to them when choosing a trading platform. The current BTC-ECHO Insider Report explores the answers in detail.
Crypto exchanges and brokers: What matters to insiders
When purchasing crypto assets, insiders place particular emphasis on reputation—a clear indication that security and trustworthiness are paramount. Liquidity and user-friendliness follow, although the differences between the individual selection criteria are generally small.
The voices of crypto experts
For Werner Hoffmann, CEO of Pekuna, a crypto tax service provider, it's less about fees than about trust and security: “When choosing my exchange, my primary concern is ensuring that I can cash out the money safely and easily and get it to the bank. Therefore, my focus is more on compliance and regulation than any other aspect.”
Christian Teichmann, Head of Projects and Operations at the blockchain consulting firm Gubbi AG, sees competition increasingly defined by the quality of services: “While regulatory frameworks and liquidity are now a minimum requirement for many users, customization, added value, and the variety of available products are becoming more important. Therefore, professional providers must, in addition to regulatory security, primarily score points with a compelling offering and user experience.”
As befits the Head of Northern Europe at crypto ETP provider 21Shares, Bernhard Wenger responds: “In my crypto investments, I prioritize liquidity, security, and reputation. That's why ETPs are an efficient and attractive vehicle for me to invest in crypto.”
