Payments & Exchange

Payments is the original use case: networks built to settle value between people faster or cheaper than a bank does. Exchange tokens are a different thing entirely — they track the venues where everything else trades, so they tend to move with volume across the whole market rather than with any one narrative.

Exchange is one of the smaller sub-markets here, and it is shown at its real size rather than padded to look complete. Every market on this desk is a live pair on the venue; a sector with five is listed as a sector with five.
