Most crypto websites want something from you.
Your email. Your deposit. Your seed phrase (please, never). Or just "one more trade" before bed.
We want five minutes of your attention a week. That's the whole deal.
The week in 60 seconds (welcome edition)
- MYEX stands for My Exchange, and it is one: an exchange of information, insights and tools for anyone in the market. What changes hands here is understanding. No deposits, no custody, no trades.
- What we do: live prices, charts, a fee calculator and plain-English guides, free and without an account.
- What's new: this blog. A new market note every week, written for people who'd rather understand the market than shout at it.
- What's coming: a set of tools that answer the questions people actually type into search bars at 2am.
So what is MYEX, exactly?
Every market runs on two exchanges. One swaps coins. The other swaps understanding: what moved, why it moved, and what it really costs to act on it. The first one is crowded. The second one is mostly noise.
MYEX is building the second one properly. Information you can trust, insights you can actually use, and tools that do the maths for you. Nobody needs your money for that, so we don't ask for it.
Right now, on the homepage, you can:
- Follow eight major USD pairs (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, LINK and UNI), with prices that refresh about every minute from the public Coinbase Exchange API.
- See the story behind a price with one-day, one-week and one-month charts.
- Star a watchlist that lives in your own browser. No login. We never see it.
- Find out what a trade really costs with the fee calculator. Plug in your position size and fees and it shows your profit after fees and your break-even price. It's worth seeing how much of a "winning" trade the fees can quietly eat before you place it, not after.
- Read the guides on fees, price and volume, and building a research routine that doesn't involve 40 browser tabs.
Every number is labelled with where it came from and when. If the live feed goes down, we show a dated snapshot and tell you it's a snapshot. Novel concept, we know.
What MYEX will never do
This is the most important section, so here it is in plain words.
- We will never ask for your private keys or recovery phrase. Nobody legitimate ever will. Anyone who does is trying to rob you, however friendly the message sounds.
- We will never tell you to buy or sell anything. We explain what moved and why. What you do with it is your call.
- We will never invent a number. Prices come from a named source with a timestamp. When we don't know something, we'll say so.
- We will never make you sign up to use the tools.
One more thing, for the record: the myex.com domain is under new ownership, and today's MYEX has no connection to whatever operated here before.
Why bother with a weekly note?
Because crypto news has a volume problem, and we don't mean trading volume.
There are a thousand hot takes a day. Most are recycled, many are wrong, and almost none tell you what actually changed. So once a week we'll do the boring, useful thing:
- The week in 60 seconds: the whole story, if that's all the time you have.
- The week in numbers: what the major coins did, from real data with a timestamp.
- What moved, and why: the actual causes, with a source for every claim.
- What to watch next week: dates worth putting in your calendar.
- Our take: a short, clearly labelled opinion. Not advice, never a "buy now".
If a week is genuinely dull, we'll say it was dull. That's a feature.
What's on the workbench
We're building tools that each answer one question people actually ask:
- Coin Report Card: "Is this coin big, liquid and established, or a small, thin, wild one?"
- Market Weather: "Is the whole market up, down, or just Bitcoin?"
- What if I'd invested: "What would $50 a week have turned into?" (with fees, because fees exist)
- Sector Heatmap: "Which part of crypto did the money flow into this week?"
- Liquidity Check: "Could I actually sell $10,000 of this without moving the price?"
- Side-by-side comparisons, a stablecoin monitor, crash and recovery history, and small widgets other sites can embed.
They'll arrive one at a time, and each one gets announced here first.
What to watch next
Our first real weekly note is up next. And it's a dramatic one: the major coins we track all finished the past seven days lower, some by double digits. We'll look at what actually happened, without the doom and without the cope.
See you there.
