What is SnapEx? 

SnapEx is a derivatives exchange that enables the trading of digital assets while offering the smoothest user experience. The platform has been operating since 2018. It will be one of the first firms to offer tokenized stocks, allowing its users to trade stocks against digital currencies. 

The platform primarily provides opportunities for traders to gain exposure to digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Litecoin, XRP, and more. Even though they are given the opportunity to get involved in cryptocurrencies, traders do not buy actual cryptos but trade price movements through derivatives contracts. The project also offers trading products, lending, and crowdfunding.

SnapEx already has a strong presence in Vietnam, Indonesia, India, the Philippines, Korea, Turkey, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. One of its main goals is to make crypto trading accessible to more people by making it affordable and easy to understand. 

Why Use SnapEx? 

Derivatives are ideal as a hedge against the volatility risk that cryptos pose and are useful for gaining the benefits of cryptocurrencies. They can also be used by merchants to open positions when they expect a plunge in an altcoin’s price, and execute an inverse, say, BTC/USD futures, to lock in a specific value to protect themselves from losses. 

Let’s explore some of the benefits SnapEx offers to its users.

  1. Low Slippage 

The SnapEx platform can reduce the impact of slippage while trading on the market price as much as possible. Trades are immediately executed, and no international slippage can happen if a user’s order has a short/long price synced with the current market’s short/long price. 

  1. Low Commission 

SnapEx’s commission is only 0.15%, which is relatively low. Moreover, users can utilize their SNAP tokens to gain commission discounts, which is another excellent addition to the token’s utility. Furthermore, the platform plans to launch fee rebate events, which could give traders returns proportional to their trade volume.
