How is DeFinity different from Binance or Coinbase?
We get this question a lot lets break it down—ïž
DeFinity isnât a crypto exchange CEX itâs a true ECN (Electronic Communications Network), a structure well known in TradFi and Forex, but still rare in crypto.
Hereâs the key difference:
CEXs like Binance/Coinbase
âȘïžCentralised matching engines
âȘïžTrades are routed through the exchange
âȘïžThe exchange controls liquidity, pricing, & execution
âȘïžThey often custody your funds
âȘïžSometimes act as market makers = conflict of interest
DeFinity (ECN model)
đčNeutral, execution-only venue
đčOrders are matched directly between participants (e.g. banks, brokers, funds)
đčUses Smart Order Routing (SOR) across multiple liquidity sources
đčNo custody of funds
đčNo market-making = no conflict of interest
đčRegulated under frameworks like MiFID II/FCA/SEC
TLDR
Youâre not trading with us.
Youâre trading through us.
Just execution. Transparent and regulated.
ECNs have powered institutional markets for decades. Weâre bringing that structure to digital assets.
