Pre-Development Activities that Ensure Crypto Exchange Business Success

Posted by Indrajeet on September 6th, 2019

When starting a crypto exchange business, investors often overlook the pre-development aspects. They directly dive into the development process to beat the competition by immediately launching the platform in the market. As a result, the platform meets with low adoption, below-average performance, and legal issues. 

However, by paying attention to the following pre-development steps, they can ensure the platform’s success with comprehensive and efficient development.

Pre-development Factors: Cryptocurrency Exchange Software 

Legal counsel and license requirements

It is necessary to understand the legal and regulatory requirements for developing a cryptocurrency exchange platform. You should avail the services of a legal firm that specializes in fulfilling licensing requirements applicable in your regional jurisdiction. 

In some countries, crypto exchanges operate without much restrictions and oversight imposed by governments and regulations. However, in countries like the US, exchange operators need to be licensed traders and must comply with the requirements laid down by regulators like SEC and CFTC. 

In this situation, consulting an industry-specialist attorney saves you from all the legal headache. 

Gather enough capital to support the venture

Assess the approximate cost that will be involved prior to the development of an exchange platform, including expenses related to technology, platform hosting, initial stage legal counsel, government licensing, and initial advertising. 

Although you won’t need all funds beforehand, ensuring that the venture has enough capital provides a smooth ‘ideation to production’ path. It is a mistake that most startups make by defining improper planning and projection. They raise small initial funds to cover the cost of the development process only. It leaves them with no other operational funds until the venture becomes profitable.

Startups also make another mistake of obtaining a license from untrustworthy service providers. Such providers do not mention the obligations and regulatory standards for setting up and maintaining the exchange and charge unnecessarily.

Find a technology solution provider

Hiring an offshore development company than setting up an in-house team can be a cost-effective decision. Cryptocurrency development companies in countries like India charge relatively low and provide full-suite development services with complete tech stack and skilled developers. (benefits)

Oodles is a crypto exchange development company that has no hidden charges or ongoing fees, or commission structures. Clients get complete access to the exchange source code. Some regulators may request a source code audit. Having access to the complete code makes auditing a hassle-free process.
