US and EU users who prioritise a spotless security record — no major hack since 2011 — and want a serious pro-grade trading terminal.
Institutions and funds requiring an SEC-registered venue with segregated qualified custody and audited on-chain reserves.
Active spot traders chasing the deepest global liquidity and the widest listing catalogue outside the US perimeter.
Traders who mix spot and on-chain — the Web3 wallet, DEX aggregator and Ethereum L2 X Layer sit inside the same account as CEX pairs.
Long-horizon EU holders who want the oldest continuously-operating exchange (2011) with conservative listings and full MiCA licensing.
Derivatives-first traders who want tighter perp funding and a maker-friendly fee schedule; accept offshore regulatory footprint.

Conflux (CFX) is a Layer 1 blockchain founded in 2018 by a group of researchers led by Andrew Yao, the Tsinghua University professor who won the Turing Award in 2000. The mainnet went live in October 2020. What makes the project unusual is its regulatory standing: Conflux is the only public, permissionless blockchain that operates openly inside mainland China, with Beijing offices and ongoing work alongside Chinese government tech bodies.
CFX is the native token. It pays for transaction fees, secures the network through staking, and is required for governance votes. Supply is around 5 billion in circulation, with mild ongoing emission of about 2% per year following the Conflux 2.0 upgrade. Conflux runs a hybrid Tree-Graph DAG protocol that targets 3,000+ TPS in production, and a major Conflux 3.0 upgrade in development for 2024-2025 is set to push finality below one second.
The Conflux price comes from supply and demand across spot and derivatives venues. The most active pairs are CFX/USDT, CFX/USD, and CFX/BTC. Live data on this page is aggregated from a multi-venue market feed and refreshes every 60 seconds.

The numbers in the price card above are live. The analysis below uses the levels at page load.
Most blockchains order blocks in a single chain, which forces miners to discard concurrent work. Tree-Graph is different. It is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) protocol that lets multiple blocks be produced in parallel, then orders them deterministically afterwards. Throughput scales because no work is wasted.
Conflux uses a hybrid two-layer architecture:
The hybrid PoW/PoS design is why Conflux gets compared to Ethereum during the merge era. Among Asia-focused Layer 1s, TRON is the closest peer on payment volume, while Conflux differentiates on regulator-compliant standing inside mainland China. The 3.0 plan is the bigger architectural shift, and it carries its own migration risk.
China banned crypto trading and mining in 2021. Almost every blockchain project that operated there either left or went underground. Conflux is the exception. The project is registered, taxed, and operates publicly, with regular research output published through the Shanghai Tree-Graph Blockchain Research Institute, a government-affiliated body that backs the protocol.
Public partnerships in China include:
The China standing is the project’s biggest differentiator and its biggest concentration risk. Beijing’s policy stance can shift, and CFX is more exposed to those shifts than almost any other major Layer 1.
The BSIM (Blockchain SIM) card is a SIM card with a secure element that stores a Conflux private key. China Telecom started selling it in 2023. Drop the card into a phone and the device becomes a hardware wallet for CFX and Conflux-based assets.
Why the BSIM matters:
Consumer-side activations like the McDonald’s China and Oreo NFT campaigns are the marketing layer on top of the BSIM rollout. Together they give Conflux something most chains do not have inside China: a path to mainstream retail.
Conflux runs two execution environments side by side on the same Layer 1. Developers pick whichever fits the project, and the two spaces can talk to each other through built-in cross-space calls.
The dual-space design is how Conflux keeps its China-specific stack while staying open to the much larger pool of Ethereum developers.
Buying CFX follows the same five-step flow that works for any major coin.
Staking CFX is straightforward inside Fluent Wallet: lock tokens for a voting period, pick a validator or pool, and receive rewards in CFX. Yields have sat in the 4 to 8% APR range depending on lockup length and pool commission. For longer-term price scenarios, see our Conflux price forecast.
Conflux carries a different risk profile from most Layer 1s. The China standing that makes it interesting also creates exposures that other chains do not have.
