Frequently Asked Questions
What is a regulated crypto exchange?
A regulated crypto exchange is a platform or entity that holds an active license or registration as a virtual asset service provider (VASP) or crypto-asset service provider (CASP) — or an equivalent exchange-category authorization — issued by an official government regulator. Regulation typically requires compliance with AML/KYC rules, capital adequacy standards, and registration with the national financial authority.
How many regulated crypto exchanges does Plexo Institute track?
Plexo Institute tracks 540 licensed exchange-type entity records across 59 jurisdictions as of the last verified date (2026-09-24). Counts are derived directly from official registry parsers and linked to source regulators.
How does Plexo Institute verify licensed virtual asset service providers and regulated exchanges?
Plexo Institute uses direct parsing of official government registries — not secondary aggregators or self-reported lists. Each jurisdiction count links to the corresponding jurisdiction profile where individual registry evidence is cited. The last-verified date reflects the most recent successful parse of the underlying official sources.
