Once a niche market for the privacy-conscious, decentralized exchanges (DEXes) have now become an integral part of the crypto market as the total trading volume reached $2.4 billion in 2019.
With some of the largest custodial exchanges such as Binance and OKEx launching their own decentralized counterparts, it’s a market segment worth keeping tabs on.
These are the top five decentralized exchanges with the highest trading volumes in the past week.
