Instant cryptocurrency exchange in-depth review
In this post, I want to include a reasonably new form of altcoin exchanges. They are termed as ‘instant cryptocurrency exchange’. These exchanges make it possible for you to trade any cryptocurrency for a various cryptocurrency with a reasonably straightforward approach, compact payment, velocity and in some cases even anonymously.
When it comes to buying Bitcoin there are many exchanges and places which let you buy Bitcoins with credit card & debit card, online banking, or with any other option. But when it comes to buying other cryptocurrencies (altcoin) like Litecoin, Dash, XRP, Monero, or any other coin we have limited options. That’s where instant cryptocurrency exchange comes to the game.
Changelly and ShapeShift are two of the most popular Instant cryptocurrency exchanges, which serve this purpose to exchange other cryptocurrencies (altcoins) with Bitcoin in minimal time, low fees and without any hassle.

Changelly accepts payments in nearly any cryptocurrency and you can receive a payout in any other cryptocurrency. It let you buy Bitcoin and other altcoins using a credit/debit card but I won’t recommend you to buy Bitcoin directly from changelly as card rates are slightly higher than other Bitcoin exchanges.
Changelly is a relatively new company in the cryptocurrency industry. But It has reached the milestone of 1 million customers in short span of time. This shows the popularity and reputation of this instant cryptocurrency exchange.

Shapeshift
Shapeshift was the first crypto to crypto instant cryptocurrency exchange launched in the year 2013 by Erik Voorhees CEO of the company from Switzerland. Shapeshift does not allow you to buy cryptocurrencies with fiat currencies e.g. US Dollars, Euro, British Pound, etc. It follows no fiat policy. It only allows swapping of one cryptocurrency to other cryptocurrencies instantly.
Shapeshift claims to be the safest and fastest instant cryptocurrency exchange in the world. The user doesn’t need to create an account, deposit fund, or provide any private personal information.

Changelly offers amazing conversion services even though it’s flat currency to Bitcoin rate is excessively high. It has comparatively low transaction fee and high trading limit. On the other hand, instant conversion service offered by Shapeshift makes the company a preferred choice and it enjoys higher user trust, but its inability to process fiat currency to cryptocurrency transactions is a huge drawback.
Even with the minor flaws in both exchanges, one thing is certain i.e. these both are best instant cryptocurrency exchange among cryptocurrency exchanges industry.
