Cryptocurrency Exchange Liquidity Aggregators and Comparison Platforms
The number of cryptocurrency exchanges is now over 200 and each of them offers different deals, functionality, exchange fees and niches that give them a competitive edge. Besides, they are of different types, size and based in different locations. At one particular point in time, crypto traders – especially those starting to trade – may have to think about which crypto exchanges would work best for them.
If you wanted you could make the process of discovering arbitrage opportunities across multiple exchanges pretty fast. Just head over to a cryptocurrency exchange aggregator. Also, these aggregators allow you to compare prices and other factors in order to help you decide which crypto exchange works for you, pretty easy and quick.
For instance, these aggregators allow you to compare fees charged by the different exchanges side by side or via lists, check which ones require and which ones do not require KYC and other regulatory requirement s, check how long different exchanges takes to verify new users, check the methods of deposit if they allow fiat deposits, check withdrawal charges or perhaps how long it takes to withdraw crypto from the exchange.
Plus crypto exchange aggregation also known as liquidity aggregation and may be one of the best options for institutional traders and OTC traders who need to work with exchanges and/or OTC facilities which can accept their FIAT currency and execute the transaction for them. Depending on the size of their order, they may need to spread it over time or buy simultaneously from multiple exchanges to avoid changing the price too much on any one exchange. Through one liquidity aggregation service, they are able to deal with one company and have their order automatically spread over multiple exchanges without having to deal with all or many exchanges directly. Thus they do not have to spread large orders over time or buy simultaneously from multiple exchanges to avoid changing the price too much on any one exchange.
By aggregating liquidity, they also make it hard for any seller to miss a crypto pair with which they can trade assets and/or make order matching very easy and quick.
Here are some of the crypto exchange aggregators and liquid aggregators that allow you to access orders from and trade orders for low rates across multiple exchanges from a single platform; and websites that allow comparing cryptocurrency exchanges over a set of factors such as transaction fee to allow make you some decisions relating to which exchange you can use.
Crypto exchange liquid/order aggregators
These exchanges pull orders from across crypto exchanges and allow users to take advantage of best rates by comparing rates across all exchanges or those that they integrate with. This is done without needing the user to register or manually search and compare crypto rates and prices and transaction fee rates on all exchanges.
As liquidity providers, it means they can be used or integrated (say through APIs) by exchanges or traders or platforms such as those needing to manage large user exchange volumes to provide ability to quickly convert their cryptoassets into other types of crypto assets or fiat as desired. An exchange liquidity provider aggregates many exchanges with an intention of pooling resources together to boost liquidity.
Coinswitch.io
CoinSwitch.io is a cryptocurrency and altcoin exchange aggregator that has already integrated many leading exchanges across the globe. It allow s users to not only compare trade and exchange rates among many exchanges when trading but to also take advantage of those offers and exchange their crypto.

Bestrate.org 
Bestrate.org exchange allows users to find the best rate across several exchanges (32 for now) for their selected trade pairs. Basically, it works as a liquidity provider and the smart order router and calculates best rate across its partner exchanges based on various factors speed, available liquidity, cost, reliability. Currently, they partner with more than 130 exchanges.
On this page, a user starts by inputting a given amount of cryptocurrency they want to trade against another chosen crypto and the platform will scan offers on exchange to find the best rate, best provider fee and blockchain network fees.
For instance, if you want to trade Bitcoin for Litecoin, it will scan the best rate and fees and list them for you and you can proceed to trade at this rate. By proceeding, you enter the wallet address of the crypto you plan to get, then send funds to the wallet provided by the platform or service and within the allotted time indicated on the screen.
The coins go directly from your wallet to the exchange platform, and then the user gets the amount expected to their wallet from the exchange’s wallet. The platform does not handle those funds but are handled by the exchange to which you are sending.
Further, the trade will take around 5 to 30 minutes to have the funds transferred from one wallet to another. However, the platform still recommends Changelly and Shapeshift for small sum where the user wants to exchange it as fast as possible and exchange platforms such as Bittrex for large sum OTC trading.
Totle
Totle has integrated with as many decentralized crypto exchanges as possible in order to avail liquidity for dApps and other platforms that are interested in using its API. Additionally, they facilitate trading of crypto by users by aggregating order books across multiple platforms and decentralized exchanges to combat limited availability of orders.
As it may be understood, many DEXs suffer liquidity as standalone operations. This means it is not certain that a user’s order will be filled whenever they place an order on that DEX. Totle works by pooling fragmented order books among decentralized exchanges, thus the odds of filling the user’s request increases greatly.
What’s more? Totle platform is free to use although still in beta. However, a small percentage fee may be added by some DEXs depending on what DEX picks up your trade. Users also bring their own wallets to the transactions without need to create an additional one, and there are no logins or 2FA, and no deposits or withdrawals.
CoinDCX 
CoinDCX is a Mumbai-based crypto exchange aggregator that just raised an undisclosed amount of funding in a seed round led by venture capital company Bain Capital Ventures. It was started in 2017 by Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal as an aggregator of cryptocurrency trading services.

Their liquidity collection method is known as LEN (Liquidity Exchange Network) and is a proprietary tech built by the company. LEN collects and combines orders placed by clients on this exchange and the orders placed by clients on those other exchanges ,then brings them into a single order book. Thus a user will not need to even monitor several exchanges or crypto trading platforms in order to find deals.
The platform works with reputable exchanges who it still requires to first undergo a thorough, strict independent security audit.
Besides, while most exchanges do not have additional function, Liqnet adds in complex trading instruments such as take profit, trailing stops, Iceberg, IFD, OCO, IFDOCO orders and more. They use geo-distributed private cloud server but the client part is a web terminal.

You can also use a comparison tool to compare prices on one exchange with another. For instance, you can compare DASH/BTC trading pair on Binance and on Kraken. Right now it connects to more than 25 exchanges and provides over 10 k crypto pairs.
However, unlike Totle, Bitsgap incorporates centralized exchanges as well.

Crypto exchange comparison websites/platforms
Coinparator
Coinparator is a website that lists several exchanges and compares them across a wide range of issues. These include the deposit method, the crypto/altcoins/tokens/coins they deal in, the duration it takes to be verified, and the exchange fees, withdrawal fees, and fiat money deposit fee.
First of all, Coinparator allows a person to select “only wire transfer,” “only credit card,” “only crypto,” and “only recommended” categories of exchanges when doing the comparison. This helps you compare exchanges on a base similarity such as by listing all those that accept fiat (and hence further divided between those that accept only credit card and those that accept only wire transfer deposits), just to give an example.
For instance, selecting the “only wire transfer” category allows you to see all the exchanges with wire transfer option even if they may have other options such as credit card or PayPal or MoneyGram as well. So as long as it offers Wire Transfer, it will list. This allows a user to immediately find an exchange that suits their needs. Of course you can check those that ask for verifications and those that don’t but every other will ask for verification when changing crypto to fiat and vice versa otherwise, almost all exchanges allow you to do deposit and withdrawal of coins without any verifications.
The “only recommended” category is the list of exchanges that has many different deposit-related options, although most on this list actually sell only BTC and some sell various cryptocurrencies. So you might look out in the list for an exchange that offers your deposit method and then buy Bitcoin and transfer them to a crypto-to-crypto exchange that offers BTC pairs for your preferred coins/tokens, unless of course if the pair is available for trading at the recommended exchange. As it is right now, some exchanges specialize in converting fiat to crypto and vice versa while others do offer only crypto-to-crypto trades without the fiat option.
