Launching a crypto exchange sounds exciting, but the real costs are often unclear. From development and security to liquidity and compliance, what does it actually cost today? Based on what I’ve seen, a fully custom exchange can range anywhere from $150,000 to $500,000+, while teams using a Binance clone script often start in the $20,000–$60,000 range depending on features and customization. Curious to hear real experiences and actual numbers from people who’ve done this.
