Earning on cryptocurrency is of interest not only to beginners, but also to established businessmen. One of the varieties of earning on cryptocurrency is earning on its exchange. This type of earning is, moreover, considered to be one of the most profitable types of earning on cryptocurrency. So how can you use exchange to earn on cryptocurrency? Exchanging one cryptocurrency for another currency, crypto or fiat, can also be called something else – buying or selling, and the main principle of earning on exchange is speculation. That is, to buy cryptocurrency at one price, and sell it when the price rises.

To earn on exchange, you first need to decide on a cryptocurrency. When choosing a crypto currency for earning on exchange, attention is paid to its volatility. Volatility is the degree of change in a cryptocurrency's rate over a certain period of time. When choosing a currency, you can be guided by the volatility readings for the month. For making forecasts and long-term trading strategies, the volatility for the year will be indicative.

Next, you need to decide on an exchange platform. For infrequent exchange, you can use exchangers. And although it is possible to earn using exchangers, exchangers nevertheless have a number of limitations that do not allow you to effectively earn on buying and selling cryptocurrency. In one of our previous articles, cryptocurrency exchangers, their types, advantages, and disadvantages were described in more detail. Therefore, if you want to earn on buying and selling cryptocurrency, then it is better to use cryptocurrency exchanges. At the same time, it is recommended not to settle on just one, but to choose two or three that you like most. Trading on a crypto exchange (trading) allows you to more effectively use the difference in cryptocurrency rates.
Currently there are several types of earning on cryptocurrency exchanges:
- trading cryptocurrency – ordinary speculation on the volatility of a currency
- investing – the exchange is used to buy the chosen currency at its minimum price, after which the funds are withdrawn to a third-party wallet or stored in your wallet on the exchange.
- arbitrage on a cryptocurrency exchange – the essence of this type of earning is that several platforms are used for trading cryptocurrency.

Arbitrage can be:
- spatial – spatial arbitrage implies buying a currency on one exchange and selling it on another. Often, due to the internal features of a given exchange, the price of the same cryptocurrency can differ on different exchanges.
- temporal – with temporal arbitrage, the purchase of currency is carried out on one platform, while the profit is conditioned by the fluctuation of the exchange rate over time.

For registering on exchanges, for security purposes, it is advisable to create separate e-mail addresses. This is because many crypto exchanges use two-factor authentication via email. You should not use addresses with your work domain, because when changing jobs you will lose access to your e-mail address.

After registering on the chosen exchanges, you should decide whether you need to undergo the identity verification process. In the event that you plan to work with fiat currencies, the verification process is inevitable. Exchanges strictly adhere to KYC (Know Your Client) and AML (Anti Money Laundering) policies, due to which your anonymity will be lost. However, if your plans are exclusively to earn on trading cryptocurrency, then you will not need verification.
