Chatex says that it had over 370,000 registered users. Among them is Alexander, a 35-year old crypto trader who asked that his surname not be used, (“They don’t like crypto traders here in Russia,” he explained.) Chatex had multiple traders selling and buying crypto peer-to-peer, and a user-friendly interface and API, he said. Chatex also added new coins faster than most exchanges, so “you could change anything for anything,” Alexander added.
