Crypto exchanges list: 102 CEXs, 26 with a named BD contact

By NAUT Research · · 8 min read

102 Crypto exchanges centralised exchanges on NAUT, 26 with a named BD or partnerships contact. Logos: Binance, OKX, Coinbase, Bitpanda, OSL, Bitget, BNB, Bitstamp, Kraken, Bullish, GRVT, WOO Network.

This crypto exchanges list holds the 102 centralised exchanges that NAUT tags as a CEX, read from the NAUT database on 28 October 2026. 26 of them carry a named business development or partnerships contact, 50 roles in all, and every exchange and person named below links to its own NAUT page.

How the list was built: on 28 October 2026, 199 company rows carried NAUT's "CEX (Centralized Exchange)" tag. 6 are archived or merged. Of the 193 live rows, 79 also carry NAUT's DEX tag and read as decentralised or hybrid venues, 8 are token rows that duplicate a company already in the list, 1 is a duplicate arm of an exchange already counted, and 2 are a decentralised exchange and a brokerage that the tag gets wrong. That leaves 103 rows, and 1 of those has no public NAUT page yet, so the 102 companies below are what a reader can open. A BD contact here means a person on the exchange's own NAUT page whose stored job title names business development, partnerships, growth, commercial work or a chief business or commercial officer role. Role titles are the ones each person's NAUT page shows. The CEX list comes from that tag alone, so 3 well-known exchanges with a NAUT page sit outside it because their rows are tagged another way.

Of the 50 BD roles, 9 sit on people rows that have no public NAUT page yet, so they are counted here and not named. The other 41 are named below and belong to 39 different people: NAUT lists Ivan Paskar under both Binance and Kraken, and Eva Gartner under both Bitstamp and Robinhood Crypto.

Which crypto exchanges have a BD contact on NAUT?

These 26 exchanges carry at least 1 named BD or partnerships person on their NAUT page. 9 of them hold 2 or more, and 17 hold exactly 1. The Team column is the number of people the exchange's NAUT page lists on 28 October 2026, and Also tagged shows the other sectors NAUT files that row under, with Infra short for NAUT's Infrastructure tag and Intel for its Intelligence tag.

Crypto exchanges list: the other 76 CEXs on NAUT

How can a BD team work this list?

  • Start where the door is already named: 26 exchanges, 41 named people, 39 of them distinct.
  • Sort by team size when the BD title is missing. 55 of the 76 exchanges with no BD contact still list a team.
  • Use the Also tagged column to pick venues that match what you sell. Bitpanda is also a wallet, BNB is also an L1, and Arkham also runs intelligence products.
  • Check the X handle before you send anything. 17 of the 20 handles checked matched the live account, and 3 did not.
How a BD team can work this crypto exchanges list
  1. Open the 2626 of the 102 exchanges carry a named BD contact, from Binance with 10 down to 17 exchanges with 1 each.
  2. Pick the nameThe people table names 41 of the 50 roles, with the role each NAUT page shows.
  3. Fall back to the team55 of the other 76 exchanges list a team on NAUT even with no BD title stored.
  4. Confirm the accountNAUT's stored X handle matched the live account for 17 of the 20 exchanges checked on 28 October 2026.

Did the stored X handles match the live accounts?

NAUT's stored X handle was checked against the live X profile and the company's own page for the 20 exchanges that carry a BD contact and a handle. 17 matched, including Binance, OKX, Coinbase, Kraken, OSL, BNB, GRVT, Arkham, Bullish, BitMart, BitOasis, EDX Markets, Crossover Markets, Bit2Me, BitTap, EchobitExchange and Easy Crypto (acq. by Swyftx), whose handle still resolves on its own site while the active brand posts as Swyftx. The other 3 moved:

Exchange NAUT stores Live account
@bitgetglobal The same account now posts as @bitget
@bitpanda The global account is @Bitpanda_global, and @bitpanda is a separate German-language account
@bitstamp The same account now posts as @RobinhoodCrypto

Those 3 rows are queued for a database fix. Until then, open the X profile before you use the stored handle for outreach.

Can you pull this data through the NAUT API?

Yes. Every company in this article is in NAUT's developer API as JSON, the same records the pages show. GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/binance returns that company with its team, in the same shape as every other company named here, for 5 credits a call. A key with no credits gets clearly marked sample data, so you can build against it first. Plans start at $49 a month for 3,000 credits (pricing), and the API docs list every endpoint. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn for the people on NAUT unlock on any paid plan: start a 7-day trial.

Crypto exchanges list FAQ

How many crypto exchanges are on NAUT?

NAUT holds 102 centralised exchange companies that are live, correctly tagged as a CEX and open to a reader, read on 28 October 2026. 199 rows carry the CEX tag in total, and the rest are archived rows, decentralised or hybrid venues, token rows, duplicate arms or a row with no public page yet.

How many crypto exchange BD contacts does NAUT hold?

NAUT holds 50 business development and partnerships roles across 26 of the 102 centralised exchanges, as of 28 October 2026. 41 of those roles are named on a public NAUT person page and belong to 39 different people.

Which exchange has the most BD people on NAUT?

Binance, with 10 named BD and partnerships people out of the 64 people on its NAUT page on 28 October 2026. OKX is next with 5 of 53, then Bitpanda, OSL, Bitget and BNB with 3 each.

Which centralised exchanges list no team on NAUT?

21 of the 102 centralised exchanges on this list had no people on their NAUT page on 28 October 2026. For those, the first move is the exchange's own listings or partnerships form, then NAUT's warm intro paths once a name appears.

Does this crypto exchanges list include DEXs or brokers?

No. 79 rows that carry both the CEX and the DEX tag, 8 token rows, 1 duplicate exchange arm and 2 rows the tag gets wrong, a decentralised exchange and a brokerage, were all left out, which leaves 103 rows, and the 102 above once the 1 row with no public page is set aside.

Can I get this data through an API?

Yes. NAUT's developer API at api.naut.so/v1 returns the data behind this article as JSON: GET /v1/projects/binance returns that company with its team, in the same shape as every other company named here. A call costs 5 credits, and a key with no credits returns marked sample data for free.
