An Assessment & Analysis of Current Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Their Regulation & Behavior in the Current Market Landscape

Abstract

Cryptocurrency assets have risen in popularity extremely quickly, with nearly 4 trillion USD worth of money currently in the global cryptocurrency market (Forbes, 2025). In this extremely large, ever-growing market, however, there remains much to be desired with regard to the availability of information regarding cryptocurrency exchanges, including their overall size, volume traded, products offered, past regulatory incidents, and operational licenses/lack thereof. This paper attempts to accurately compile a lump-sum report on most, if not all, currently available cryptocurrency exchanges, as well as their parent corporations when applicable, for the purposes of accelerating due diligences for investors and individuals alike, so they may quickly regard whether or not they would like to place their money in the hands of an exchange.
