They act as intermediaries between sellers and buyers of various assets. For example, the TokenSpot exchange offers tools for spot trading on the cryptocurrency market. At the same time, it supports fiat: RUB, USD and KGS (Kyrgyz som). The trading platform will be launched in January 2024.

For example, the user buys BTC, stores coins, waits for their growth, and then sells. This is called spot trading. However, in September 2024, from digital currencies, the site supports only USDT. This is a stablecoin whose rate is tied to the price of USD.
The USDT cryptocurrency was created to protect users from market volatility. One token is always worth $1.
