KuCoin

KuCoin is a centralized exchange platform where we can make purchases and sales of cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Bitcoins, Cardano, and many more cryptocurrencies, because this platform has a wide catalog of many cryptos that we can consult on its official website. KuCoin was founded by Michael Gany Eric Tang in 2017, also in market capitalization is occupying the number 6 place.

KuCoin has the capacity to perform and operate up to more than 2 million transactions or orders per second without suffering any form of delay, stress or complication. In addition to having these features and many more, which makes this platform catapulted to high and competitive levels in the crypto market.

Conclusion

In short, to investigate and learn about the different exchange platforms, to see their advantages and disadvantages, to know the centralized and decentralized ones, it is very important to have several options and choose the one that suits us best, that meets the requirements you need at the time of making cryptocurrency transactions.

In this task I registered in the centralized exchange platform KuCoin, which I found very comfortable to operate and has certain features in the interface, very similar to the Binance platform. It is also very easy to work with and understand, it offers many exchange pairs, its catalog is very wide, the registration was not complicated.

Finally, I would like to mention that it is a platform that offers security and variety.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
