How does trading at SCRYPT differ from crypto exchanges?

Crypto exchanges act as venues: client trades against unknown counterparties through a public order book, with pre-funding, slippage, and support gaps. SCRYPT is your single licensed counterparty - you trade directly with us. We consolidate deep liquidity from top venues & market makers, eliminate order book friction, and ensure secure trade execution with better pricing, no delays and 24/7 human support.
