DigiFinex
DigiFinex just makes it into the top 20 of major exchanges. It has a 24-hour volume of $564 million. However, with 12.2 million monthly visitors, it places third in this field. That is straight after Binance and Coinbase. That’s an impressive achievement. One of the reasons can be that it offers 410 coins and 582 trading pairs. On the other hand, DigiFinex does not offer an insight to their reserves’ data.
Furthermore, this exchange doesn’t offer any passive income options for Fantom. There is a “Wealth” program, but Fantom is not part of this. However, you can buy crypto with a debit or credit card. When spot trading on DigiFinex, you can choose between three FTM/USDT pairs. This includes long and short positions. You can also use a margin or ETF trading feature.
