# ASTX > The crypto future ASTX is a digital asset exchange offering spot trading, perpetual futures contracts, OTC transactions, and copy trading for global users. ASTX is a digital asset exchange that provides a multi-mode trading environment for global cryptocurrency users. It combines spot markets, derivatives contracts, over-the-counter transactions, and copy trading within a single platform, giving traders of varying experience levels access to a broad set of digital asset products. The exchange is positioned as a comprehensive service for retail and active traders seeking centralized access to multiple trading formats. The platform is built around an internally developed trading engine paired with a risk-control system designed to support high volumes of order flow across spot and derivatives markets. A uniform margin system allows users to manage multiple perpetual futures positions from a single account rather than allocating collateral separately for each contract. ASTX is regulated and maintains international service centers that support multilingual customer service across different time zones. Product offerings are organized around spot trading, U-margined perpetual contracts, event-based contracts, and a copy trading feature that lets users mirror the positions of other traders on the platform. Access is available through a web interface and mobile applications for iOS and Android, supported by a dedicated help center covering account use, trading rules, and platform policies. The exchange serves individual traders, copy trading participants, and users seeking OTC execution for larger transactions. - Type: Company - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/astx ## Products - [ASTX](https://thegrid.id/profiles/astx): ASTX is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange offering spot and USDT-margined perpetual futures trading.
