> The smarter way to trade crypto

Catex is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that distributes a portion of trading fees back to users through a transaction mining model.

Catex serves retail cryptocurrency traders looking to trade digital assets and earn passive income. Users can trade crypto pairs, hold CATT tokens for daily profit-sharing dividends, and earn interest through staking plans created by token issuers. The exchange applies a transaction mining model that returns a share of each trade's fees directly to traders.
