Exchanges may accept credit card payments, transfers, or other forms of payment for cryptocurrencies or digital currencies. A cryptocurrency exchange can be a market maker that usually takes the spread between supply and demand as a commission on transactions, or a matching platform that charges fees.
Cryptocurrencies have strongly asserted themselves in the global economy currently, especially with the increasing prevalence and trading of them across the world, including our Arab world, where the volume of transactions through digital currency trading platforms reached about 2.5 trillion dollars last September, and it continues to rise.
In reality, this type of currency has become a fact that cannot be ignored or overlooked, especially since it has captured a large part of investors' attention, particularly in our Arab world, where digital currencies are widely traded in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab countries.
