About VAEX — Our Story
VAEX was founded in 2021 by a team of former fintech engineers and quantitative traders who believed retail crypto traders deserved institutional-quality tools without institutional price tags.
Our Mission
We built VAEX to close the gap between professional trading desks and everyday investors. Speed, transparency, and security aren't premium add-ons here — they're the baseline.
Today, VAEX processes over $4 billion in daily volume, serves 2 million registered users across 80+ countries, and maintains 99.98% platform uptime year over year.
What We Offer
VAEX supports spot trading, futures, staking, and API-based algorithmic trading — all within a single account. Over 300 trading pairs are available with fees starting at 0.05%.
Our fee structure scales with your volume. The more you trade, the lower your cost — automatically, with no applications or negotiations required.
Security First
Security isn't an afterthought. 98% of assets held on vaex are stored in offline cold wallets, protected by multi-signature authorization and backed by a $500M insurance fund.
Regulation & Compliance
VAEX operates under active licenses in 18 jurisdictions, including FinCEN registration in the United States and FCA registration in the United Kingdom.
Every account undergoes KYC verification. Transaction monitoring runs continuously through partnerships with Chainalysis and Elliptic to detect and prevent illicit activity.
Our Team
The VAEX team spans 12 countries and includes veterans from Goldman Sachs, Coinbase, Kraken, and leading blockchain development firms. Combined, the core team holds 140+ years of fintech experience.
Technology
The VAEX matching engine processes 1.4 million orders per second with sub-millisecond execution latency. Infrastructure runs across geo-redundant data centers on three continents.
Our trading API is used by over 4,000 algorithmic traders globally and supports REST and WebSocket connections with 99.99% endpoint availability.
Our Vision for 2026
In 2026, VAEX is expanding its institutional OTC desk, launching staking rewards for 12 additional assets, and releasing a fully redesigned mobile trading experience.
