Why are Traders Moving to Hybrid Crypto Exchanges?

In Q3 of 2020, the trading volumes of decentralized exchanges (DEX) witnessed a massive growth (88%) and outpaced CEX where the trading volume market share reduced significantly.

According to the report published by popular crypto data aggregator Coingecko, DEX volume stands at 6% of CEX. Quite evidently, crypto traders are exploring new possibilities in the exchange space. And that is why hybrid cryptocurrency exchange development is gaining momentum among traders and services providers.

Hybrid Crypto Exchanges Are on the Rise

2020 has been the year of DeFi hype. To make the most from farming frenzy and crypto rally, traders kept juggling between the CEXs and DEXs. To fill the gaps, services providers are proactively looking for hybrid crypto exchange software that provides the benefits of both CEXs and DEXs into one. This means hybrid exchanges offer traders the liquidity and functionality of a CEX and top it with the security and privacy of a DEX.

Features of Hybrid Crypto Exchange Software

Management of Liquidity
While the centralized exchanges maintain good liquidity by injecting enormous capital, DEXs are dependent on the number of users for the same. When a DEX is new, the users are less and the liquidity is low leading to major issues like price slippage. Fortunately, the hybrid exchange space has adopted the liquidity management of centralized exchanges. Moreover, hybrid cryptocurrency exchange development services ensure that it sets up complete information about the order book in a transparent manner.

Escrow Control
Escrow is a legal concept that is used to control and protect digital assets. A hybrid cryptocurrency exchange uses an escrow to hold the assets being exchanged by two counterparties. While it acts like a third-party guarantor, it also controls the entire process of exchange of assets. This is the method by which a hybrid crypto exchange operator ensures the user’s assets remain secured.

Creation of Atomic Swap Exchange
A hybrid exchange uses a smart contract to exchange one crypto asset for another without the involvement of a third party. This smart contract is known as atomic swap and it enhances the security of the underlying trade. Along with that, it enables faster trading of less liquid assets too.

Benefits of a Hybrid Crypto Exchange

· Hybrid exchanges are designed to be faster than DEXs and support real-time service access.
· Users seek complete ownership of their funds even when the third parties regulate and operate the exchange.
· Hybrid exchanges provide complete privacy and anonymity to the exchange users.
· They are compliant with different digital currency laws in different jurisdictions.
· Protect users’ assets from hacks as the assets are stored in cold storage.
