Live markets
Every market, one book, one account
Spot, staking and settlement sit in the same place, quoted against USD, EUR, USDT and USDC. Prices below update while you read.
The platform
Built by people who have run a trading desk
Every part of Aurex exists because something else was too slow, too opaque or too expensive. Here is what that turned into.
Liquidity from 40 desks
We aggregate quotes from forty market makers and route every order to the best available price, so spreads stay tight even when volatility spikes.
Charts built for real analysis
Sixty indicators, multi-chart layouts, depth overlays and drawing tools that sync across every device you sign in from.
An API worth building on
REST and WebSocket endpoints with 2ms median latency, colocation in three regions, and SDKs for Python, Go, Rust and TypeScript.
Earn on idle balances
Stake fourteen assets straight from your trading balance. Rewards compound daily, nothing is locked, and your collateral stays available.
Custody you can verify
98% of client assets sit in air-gapped cold storage across three jurisdictions, with Merkle-tree reserve proofs published every month.

Custody and security
Your assets, held where you can verify them
An exchange asking for your trust should be able to prove it holds what it says it holds. Here is how we do that, every single month.
98%
Cold storage by default
Client assets are held in air-gapped multi-signature vaults spread across three jurisdictions. Withdrawals from cold storage need quorum approval from separate key holders.
Monthly
Proof of reserves
We publish a Merkle-tree attestation every month so you can verify your own balance is included in total reserves, alongside a liabilities report from an independent auditor.
$320M
Insurance and reserve fund
A dedicated fund covers losses from platform failure or a breach of our custody stack, backed by a syndicate policy and an on-chain reserve you can inspect.
0
Account takeovers to date
Hardware key support, withdrawal allow-lists, per-device session control and a 24-hour hold on any new withdrawal address. No customer account has been drained on our watch.
For developers
An API you can actually build a business on
Versioned endpoints, honest rate limits and a changelog that warns you before anything breaks. Keys carry separate read, trade and withdraw scopes with IP allow-listing.

The things people ask before they deposit
Who actually holds my coins?
You do, in the sense that your balance is segregated from company funds and never lent out. The assets sit in qualified custody, with 98% in air-gapped cold vaults and the remainder in hot wallets sized only for daily withdrawal volume. You can withdraw to a self-custody wallet at any time.
What does trading cost?
Personal accounts pay 0.10% as a maker and 0.16% as a taker. Those rates fall with 30-day volume, down to 0.02% and 0.05% at the top tier. There are no deposit fees, no monthly fees and no charge for holding a balance. Network fees on withdrawals are passed through at cost.
How quickly can I get money in and out?
Bank wires submitted before 15:00 UTC clear the same business day. SEPA and Faster Payments usually land within an hour. Crypto deposits credit after one confirmation, and withdrawals are broadcast within two minutes unless they trip a security hold.
Is my money insured?
A $320M fund covers losses caused by a failure of our custody stack, combined with a syndicate policy. It does not cover market losses, and it does not cover mistakes made with your own credentials, which is why hardware keys and withdrawal allow-lists are worth turning on.
Which countries can open an account?
We serve 94 countries, including the UK, the EEA, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Japan and Brazil. Availability of margin, staking and derivatives varies by jurisdiction, and the sign-up flow tells you which products you can use before you deposit.
Can I connect my own trading systems?
Yes. Every account gets API keys with granular permissions, IP allow-listing and separate read, trade and withdraw scopes. We publish SDKs for Python, Go, Rust and TypeScript, and institutional clients can request colocation in London, Tokyo or Ashburn.
Still unsure about something? Email the desk and a person will answer.

Early accounts get the Tier 2 fee schedule for their first twelve months, priority support and an invite to the private API beta. Verification takes about four minutes.
