UPDATE 23 March 2023: While KKEX still has an active website that's possible to access, the platform has many of the hallmark characteristics that inactive platforms have. For instance, it has been changed to an "untracked listing" on Coinmarketcap.com and KKEX's last tweet was sent out on 16 January 2019. It just seems like the team has abandoned ship.
Accordingly, we have marked this exchange as "dead" and moved it to our Exchange Graveyard.

KKEX Review
What is KKEX?
KKEX is an exchange registered in the Seychelles that launched in 2017. The company owning the exchange is KKEX Technology Co., Ltd. The KKEX-platform is available in both Chinese and English.
US-investors
As far as we can tell, US-investors can trade here. But, US-investors should do their own independent assessment of any problems arising from their residency or citizenship. In a worst-case scenario, they may be prohibited by state laws to trade wherever they want to.
KKEX Trading View
Different exchanges have different trading views. And there is no “this overview is the best”-view. You should yourself determine which trading view that suits you the best. What the views normally have in common is that they all show the order book or at least part of the order book, a price chart of the chosen crypto and order history. They normally also have buy and sell-boxes. Before you choose an exchange, try to have a look at the trading view so that you can see that it feels right to you. The below is a picture of the trading view at KKEX:
KKEX Fees
KKEX Trading fees
Trading fees are naturally very important. Every time you place an order, the exchange charges you a trading fee. The trading fee is normally a percentage of the value of the trade order. Many exchanges charge what we call taker fees, from the takers, and what we call maker fees, from the makers. The takers are the people who “take” orders from the order book. This means that they remove order options from the order book and thereby remove liquidity. Makers are the ones who put the orders on the order book in the first place.
The main alternative to this is to simply charge “flat” fees. Flat fees mean that the exchange charges the taker and the maker the same fee.
At this exchange, they charge flat fees: 0.20%. 0.20% is in line with the global industry average which is arguably around 0.25%. We are however currently seeing a shift towards even lower fees. Many exchanges now charge e.g. 0.10% or 0.15% instead.
KKEX Withdrawal fees
Another fee to consider before choosing which exchange to trade at is the withdrawal fee. The withdrawal fee is usually fixed (regardless of the amount of cryptos withdrawn), and varies from crypto to crypto. The global industry average withdrawal fee is 0.000812 BTC when you withdraw BTC.
Here, at KKEX, you pay no withdrawal fees at all. Zero. This is very impressive indeed and there’s only 30 something exchanges in the whole world that offer zero-fee withdrawals. Good job, KKEX!
Deposit Methods
KKEX does not accept any deposits of fiat currency. This means that the new crypto investors (i.e., the investors without any previous crypto holdings) can’t trade here. In order to purchase your first cryptos, you need a so called entry-level exchange, which is an exchange accepting deposits of fiat currency. Find one by using our Exchange Finder!
