About Freedx
Freedx is a centralized exchange founded in 2023 and registered in El Salvador, whose operating entity holds a Bitcoin services licence from the country's central bank (BCR) and a digital asset service provider licence from the National Commission of Digital Assets (CNAD). It lists more than 180 spot assets and over 90 futures pairs along with leveraged futures, margin, P2P and express buy rails at 0.1% spot fees, plus an AutoTrader strategy tool and earn products, with custody, fiat rails, on-chain tracing and identity verification handled by Fireblocks, Alchemy Pay, Elliptic and Sumsub respectively.
It is positioned as an all-in-one custodial trading environment for retail and institutional users, with iOS and Android apps and API access. Fiat on- and off-ramps connect to multiple payment channels, earn products and VIP tiers target longer-term retention, and AutoTrader packages strategy trading into a standardized entry point, letting users without coding skills apply ready-made strategy templates, while institutional clients access quotes and fills through the API.
On January 7, 2026, Freedx announced The Freedx Quiz Show, a live crypto quiz programme that premiered on Twitch on January 9, with up to $15,000 in prizes per season and an additional $5,000 in viewer rewards during each broadcast.
Freedx reports more than 70,000 users and a team of about 80.
Freedx will keep licensing and compliance as its differentiator, expand retail reach in Latin America and globally, and use live content and community programming to lower customer acquisition costs.
