1st IEEE International Workshop on Cryptocurrency Exchanges (CryptoEx 2023)
Co-located with IEEE Int’l Conference on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency (ICBC 2023), Dubai, May 5, 2023
The first IEEE International Workshop on Cryptocurrency Exchanges (CryptoEx 2023) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency (ICBC 2023) on May 5, 2023 in Dubai, UAE. The workshop is co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society, POSTECH Center for Crypto Blockchain Research (CCBR), Blockchain Law Society of Korea, and Coinone.
Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency introduced in 2009 as a means of global electronic payment. Since then many cryptocurrencies were created to support not only electronic payments but also for various other purposes, including utility tokens, security tokens, and stablecoins. There are thousands of cryptocurrencies present in the market today. These cryptocurrencies can be purchased, sold or traded at cryptocurrency exchanges. There are mainly two types of crypto exchanges, centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX). Recently, these crypto exchanges have been providing more than trading cryptocurrencies to their customers including DeFi services, custody services, NFT marketplaces and so on.
This inaugural workshop aims at providing an international forum for researchers and developers of services in cryptocurrency exchanges. CryptoEx 2023 will combine original paper presentations with quick hot topic poster presentations and a panel discussion to thoroughly explore this challenging area.
