Phemex Review
This exchange is one of the newcomers to the space. Founded at the end of 2019, it is already looking quite impressive with everything it has achieved in such a short period of time. Of course, some things still need building out and improving, which I will cover as well.
The platform has already attracted over 5 million users globally and has a healthy 24-hour trading volume of over $92 million as of July 2023. Not bad, considering we are in the depths of a bear market.
Phemex is located and registered in Singapore and is owned by Phemex Pte. Ltd.
The platform was founded by a team made up of individuals who have decades of previous experience working with banking giant Morgan Stanley, as well as some old-school Bitcoin miners, providing the team with a great blend of experience from TradFi and Blockchain.
