Crypto Trading Platform – 5 Year Financial Model

Description
In order to start buying and selling cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, the most common way is to transact with Crypto Trading Platforms (or Cryptocurrency Exchanges). Cryptocurrency exchanges are privately-owned platforms that facilitate the trading of cryptocurrencies for other crypto assets, including digital and fiat currencies and NFTs. Centralized cryptocurrency exchanges act as an intermediary between a buyer and a seller and make money through commissions and transaction fees.
