Our verdict

Nash is an open source cryptocurrency exchange with something for both individual traders and businesses. For personal trading accounts, it offers ample liquidity in top cryptocurrencies, for businesses, it lets them begin accepting cryptocurrency as a payment without having to deal with converting crypto to fiat

It also offers a clean, easy to use web platform filled with advanced analytical tools catering to experienced traders, while at the same time not overwhelming more casual traders. The decentralised nature of the exchange offers security as well as liquidity to go with the centralised matching that it offers.

However, the exchange has high verification requirements, without which your trading and deposit limits are significantly lower. There is also a very limited and small number of cryptocurrencies and tokens available to trade on the exchange, so it is only suited to those who are happy trading the top coins and submitting lots of information to be verified.
