I'm curious if anyone here has tried delta.exchange? The trading volume looks kinda low, but it’s not super bad. They do ask for KYC, but you only need to verify your phone number.
By the way, is this exchange connected to that Defi Deltaexchange that flopped back in 2018?
If you've used or are currently using this exchange, let me know!
Delta Exchange Anyone tried it?

And how is it critically different from other exchangers then? To be honest, I don't see much difference now.
It is primary a derivative exchange and it is the only crypto native exchange as far as I know that you can trade options on Bitcoin with stablecoin outside the US. They have also a few other unique features.
I'm also in the process of reviewing this exchange to see if it would be worth opening a account for myself. They seems secure and well-managed but they are not regulated and they exist only since 2018 if I'm not mistaken.

Never heard anything about these.
Please, a little bit advice for you. Never trust anything by "Volume" information from exchange, most of exchange have insider bot doing a wash trading to make a fake volume. So they have a good total volume trading to raise their exchange rank.
It's really simple to see the trading history is fake or not, you just need to see from history trading. Most of wash trading from the exchange it self, have a same interval trading time, the amount really small, and most of the history always have a small different token.
You mean Etherdelta that was a decentralized exchange way back when the likes of Uniswap wasn't a thing? I remember that one but I think you need to connect it only with a browser extension wallet like Metamask but before it was MyEtherWallet is the trend. I don't know if they are related but I feel the likes that they are somehow connected in some way, I could be wrong too.

Havent heard this one before, any reason why using it instead of the best exchanges in the market?
Volume can be manipulated, if that exchange seems too good to be true better not to use it.
Though it looks good for staying in the market for 4 years now and still have that volume, but to be more safe better to go for the best exchange and if you are going to trade some tokens try to look for the safer exchange where that token is listed to avoid any problem in the future.

Maybe OP is looking for products that are not offered by the popular derivatives exchanges
No OP is asking about Delta.exchange not Etherdelta. The two are different
I have never used the exchange before but after looking at the reviews on trustpilot and google play, the most common complaints are
1. Slow withdrawals that can take more than 24 hours at times
2. They have a habit of suspending the markets when the market crashes, even the most recent crash
3. App freezes at times during volatile markets. You don't want that to happen when you have an open position.
I suggest you read the reviews
- https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.delta.exchange
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=exchange.delta&showAllReviews=true
- OKEX is not available in every jurisdictions.
- You can't trade options on KuCoin
Delta Exchange has very rare features in the derivatives market. As a example, you can write secured cash puts options there. This is not available on the biggest exchanges (Binance, FTX) outside the US afaik.
I don't think so. I couldn't find anything about delta.exchange launching defi. According to data, they were in business since 2018 and there were no signs of rebranding during that time either.
Perhaps you have an exact link of the suspected exchange related to the failed defi?
Yeah I made a mistake with the name. I forgot it was called EtherDelta and the Delta made it should similar especially since it also had an E in the half of the name.
Either way. The reason why I want to use it is mostly due to the options. Not for the BTCUSD perp futures which I can trade anywhere. There arent too many exchanges out there with BTC options and they seem pretty liquid.
I search on Coinmarketcap and find Delta exchange with only one trading pair (given my Coinmarketcap SOL / USDT)
When I visit the exchange, there are more trading pairs so it seems the exchange has very low trading volume on most of their trading pairs.
A little bit more pairs on CoinGecko for Delta spot trading
You can also check Deribit.com that is in business since 2016 for bitcoin options trading. If you are in the US, there is LedgerX bought by FTX and now part of FTX.us (for Americans only). LedgerX is a regulated exchange fwiw.

Bro to be honest I havent used the exchange.
But upon doing some research, I found some info about the exchange in YouTube, many people have done a video on the exchange.
There are two possibilities now, first of all the exchange is legit, so the people using it and making videos by reviewing it, else the exchange has done some paid promotions with the small Youtubers.
It would be better if you just go for trusted exchanges like Binance or Kucoin. They are the best and no hassle with the security.
Rest is upto you bro.
Here first time I know about Delta Exchange market, by the way could you sent us link associated with Delta Exchange market? When this exchange have open to pubic and I still blame why not use and never found with Delta Exchange market. I think to know about trust or not better checking on CMC first and see there about feedback respond from costumer, that are really trusted exchange with Delta Exchange market or still less reputation and worry if try invest several altcoin there.
I'm sorry, comparing trading with x200 leverage on future with writing secured cash puts options make not sense. Especially when dealing with Bitcoin.
FYI options trading is harder to understand at the beginning than future. That's the main reason why it is not as popular as future. However, it offers many advantages over future in many situations. Many veteran traders are only trading options. Maybe less in crypto because the market is very young and the offering on options is still very limited.
I wasn't able to use that but upon checking it in Coinmarketcap[1], it doesn't have a large volume and it's best to be used with perpetual pairs and not other markets with spot or futures. They only got a single pair on it though.
They look like they are very active and it looks very interesting in terms of the site. Like when you look at the footer, it includes everything you need to know about what they have to offer.
They have offers[2] as well which looks like a very interesting feature that you have on.

Not familiar, and it's to dangerous to trust in any exchanges out there that showing low volumes because you know there's a bunch of scammers in the space, and it seems new in my view tbh. Actually it's been how many years that i become a trader and i never heard such platforms , and for me IMO perhaps much better to rely which is more reliable to use and what's popular to assure everything will gonna be alright and also to prevent losses because these days its too easy to create an exchange but mostly just to scam traders..

What is an exchanger? I dont quite understand the point of creating a separate topic against the background of the fact that now its not difficult to find an exchanger.

There are few reasons.
delta.exchange seems a centralized exchange compared to etherdelta(2018failedexchange) which is decentralized. Both are different in many ways.
other top exchanges might not be available in his country that results him to find low key/new exchanges.
there might be a certain coin that he want to trade that is only listed on that exchange.
It sounds like the late etherdelta and forkdelta but only these two are a decentralized type of exchange while this one we have here is centralized since they ask for a phone number. I don't consider that as a kyc but a kyc to me is when you have been ask by a valid ID cards or passports and also undergone to a live selfie.
This exchange can also be related to that defi exchange that you mentioned because both names are also identical to each other but the only way to find out or to be more sure is to visit them and start comparing them with the other site that you know. You can also message the costumer support directly and ask about this matter.
