Imagining of how easy it is to make one, I'm starting not to think about it. Making one is a serious commitment and you shouldn't just leave it if you have already started it only if you have already the funds of customers. But breaking down from the beginning of it, the cost of it, from the developers and considering you should follow your local rules upon creation.
There's more to go, AFAIK you also need attorney and legal counsel for you to be able to be right on path before creating your exchange. It's a broad thing to think of and it's really stressful if you're starting out. I don't have it on my mind, I'm okay to be a user and this is a serious business which requires hefty amount of money because you have to invest in security mostly.

Aside from complying with regulations such as KYC/AML, I've started to wonder how easy it is to create my own crypto exchange? In the case of a decentralized exchange based on smart contracts, anyone with programming skills can launch their own DEX for the world. But the real issue is to provide support to customers, and comply with every single regulation imposed by worldwide governments. At a certain point, starting our own cryptocurrency exchange might not be an easy task to do. Launching a centralized exchange instead of a decentralized one might be even more difficult for the average entrepreneur, in my own opinion. So I'm wondering what's the easiest way to launch a cryptocurrency exchange? Does taking the path of decentralization, help you avoid complying with certain regulations? Or is everything the same with a centralized exchange? Maybe creating a Peer-to-Peer site where users can trade crypto in person for Fiat, would be the easiest path to go? Isn't it? Any recommendations or suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It really is harder to launch a centralized exchange than a decentralized one, the competition is very stiff, you need a good team and security team, hacking is always the main issue and of course marketing and attracting new traders are one of the big issues that confront new players, we have seen ICO based exchange that cannot take off, because of the many issues.

In my opinion it is very difficult if you want to start your own cryptocurrency exchange. This is not an easy thing to do. The burden is very heavy, especially you have to have a team that is truly honest and experienced in their field. Building a team is not easy, it is very difficult and you also have to have a good reputation in the crypto field because as the owner of a good reputation exchange is a consideration for people to use your exchange services.

One of the biggest problems is trying to set up anew exchange is the problem with local regulatory systems. You have to follow them even if you are a CEX or a DEX. These days government is cracking down on every operator and making them KYC compliant to force them to give the transaction data of their users. This seems bad to us but for the government it is necessary to keep money laundering under check. Most of the users here may not be doing criminal laundering but there are people who do this.
Apart from that, you have to develop the DEX first, then have a source of funds ready, keep hot wallets and cold wallets in proper shape, maintain the system and take care of customer service.

Easy said than done. Even this is the easiest thing to do and to avoid AML, you need to establish your platform first in the market. Like no one will have a P2P on an amateur site that doesn't have enough clients to use it. You still be needing developer to optimize your site and of course, a real time customer support that can be easy to reach out when problem persist. If you do have the money then you can build up but there are several factors needed; -Knowledge on coding skills,programming and developing - Its dumb for you to start one if you dont have any knowledge. Next, You cant be sure if your new exchange would get enough support or traffic due to competition but if your newly built exchange do get some attention then your lucky.

There are exchange scripts that you can just install to your server, not sure about the security but its sure not easy since even the well known exchange like Binance were still hacked. If the hacker got into your exchange and got all the funds, I don't think you can recover the coins back being your exchange is just done by a non programmer. Not easy to maintain as well. Cryptopia died in the end just like the coinexchange.

If it is a big exchange buying a exchange script to someone who selling it will be risky since it involves with big money. It will be fine if it's just a blog or news website but we are talking about exchanges which involves cryptos with value. They should need to hire developers and experts on databases and expert on security to be able to protect their website to any attacks. He should also need to hire people as a support to help people having issue from their exchange. For me, honestly it's hard to start an exchange site if you are the only one who will manage the exchange you will need a team and partner to be able to stay alive as other exchanges.

I bet it is not secure at all. Anyone can buy those scripts online. They can then test it for various vulnerabilities. Once they find one, they can then look for exchanges that use the same script. They can then abuse the vulnerability and break the exchange cause enormous damage to both the exchange and the user. It is better to make your own exchange from scratch using all standard and top notch security.

Believe me if mcafee cost less than a million dollars to create mcafee dex as he was using all of the open-source code and UI. It does not need a lot of money to launch the new exchange sites but that will need a lot of money when your exchange becomes more and more popular and you must do a lot of RnD especially for the security maintenance that will cost you a lot of money. If you wanna create a big scale of exchange site and these requirements that already stated in this article https://www.quora.com/How-much-does-it-cost-to-set-up-a-cryptocurrency-exchange will cost you a lot of money.

I can't imagine the work if only one person is managing a growing exchange and this is why we see some of them posts that they are hiring moderators and programmers. Mcafee only used the opensource scripts to develop his dex I think a team can also do this to develop another approach. Marketing Mcaffee dex though was easy for him since he is already popular but for an unknown dev team, its a hard job.

it is not easy at all. first of all you have to have a very strong team that is trustable, nonanonymous and popular. So people can trust and prefer to use your platform. And you have to invest high amount to be able to make marketing and circulate the flow for a while.
I've figured it would be hard to do this in the long run. Instead of creating an exchange from scratch, it's better to use existent solutions to create your own exchange without much effort. Perhaps, becoming a Bitshares gateway would be the best thing to do? Still though, there's the need to comply with government regulations. One mistake and your "out of the game" for good. The only way I see this would work is by designing a P2P exchange site where people can trade crypto in-person without the need to comply with KYC/AML. At least, that's the way the "Local Bitcoin Cash" site has been doing today. But if governments continue to enforce strict regulations, it might scare many exchanges away from the crypto space. With a good team, and enough funding for the launch of a crypto exchange, anything's possible. If you don't meet those requirements, then you're better off with being a Bitshares/OpenLedger gateway or a 0x Relayer. There are many ways to do this, but the real issue is complying with every single regulation imposed by worldwide governments. Just my thoughts ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Need team work for manage manage for growing exchange and have experience and proffesional team how to build good and most secure exchange, I think you need time and always possible for building exchange market, look what happen with BCNEX is new exchange but keep exist right now and many investor trade and invest there.

These days it's easy not to make one but to own one, basically if the script exists, the entire code, you can buy it and own it. Casino, Exchange, even entire blogs with content all pre-prepared. I've seen it even, the AI these days are pretty sophisticated that if you don't know your things well enough, they all look real to you. About attorneys, you only need them if you want a compliant exchange. But what's the point of just creating one if you can't run a business? And what happens when you find bugs and what not, how're you going to fix them? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I have seen in their ToS, the users who use their services is accept their own country's law, although this is not charged to the exchange, but the law in each country still applies. The fear is that if a user violates cryptocurrency laws in his country which causes him to get into trouble, because most internet providers are overseen by the government.

Its a very risky to do meetups when the country's law doesn't allow cryptocurrency, I would rather be selling coins thru DEX exchanges than going into such path. You'll never knew the person you intend to meet is a government agent. Meetups alone is dangerous to do even when crypto is allowed in your country.

It is a big risk to take. You are taking responsibility of thousands of coins trusted upon your exchange by innocent people and you would use a bought script? There will always be a problem is hidden vulnerabilities. Hackers often pose as developers of such scripts and sell them for some money and then one day they execute those exploits and steal coins from the exchanges.

Meetup exchange also has the risk of robbery and getting beaten by by goons hired by a scammer. This was the reason why exchanging assets online was started.

If crypto is illegal (or has no legal status at all) that means that cryptocurrencies are worth nothing to govs so you can't sue anyone. Also at this point crypto field is full of illegal activities (I mean real criminals) and this makes meetups more dangerous.

It is a big risk to take. You are taking responsibility of thousands of coins trusted upon your exchange by innocent people and you would use a bought script? There will always be a problem is hidden vulnerabilities. Hackers often pose as developers of such scripts and sell them for some money and then one day they execute those exploits and steal coins from the exchanges.
Thanks for the tip. There's a lot of responsibility involved, especially when dealing with people's funds. Not to mention, I'd need to comply with every single regulation imposed by worldwide governments. Even decentralized exchanges are not exempt from this. The best path to take might be creating a P2P trading platform where people can post their own ads for buying/selling cryptocurrencies in-person. It would be something similar to eBay, where people post their own "item listings" for sale. I believe that with this model, the responsibility would lie on the user himself instead of the owner of the P2P trading platform. I've seen pre-made scripts available for purchase online, but they look quite risky to me. As you've said earlier, hidden vulnerabilities would expose the exchange towards hacks and theft. In order to create an extremely secure exchange, one needs to hire computer security specialists to maintain the site resistant against online threats. The costs and responsibilities involved in setting a centralized exchange makes it challenging for the newfound entrepreneur. Which is why, my options are limited to either a P2P trading platform, a 0x relayer, or simply an OpenLedger/Bitshares gateway. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
