Independent editorial ranking. Score is 0–10 across six criteria: Security, Fees, UX, Features, Support, Reputation.
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.

Movement Network is an Ethereum Layer 2 that runs the Move programming language for execution. The chain settles to Ethereum and uses Celestia as its data availability layer, which puts it in the modular-rollup camp rather than the monolithic-L1 camp. Movement Labs, the company behind the protocol, was founded in 2022 by Cooper Scanlon and Rushi Manche.
The thesis is straightforward: Move was designed at Meta for the Diem (formerly Libra) project with safety properties that Solidity does not have, including resource-oriented programming and a type system that makes double-spend bugs hard to write by accident. Bringing that language to the Ethereum economy as an L2 is what M2 is for. The Move VM is forked from Aptos’s implementation, so most Aptos-compatible Move code can be ported to Movement with minimal changes.
MOVE trades on most major spot venues, with the deepest pairs being MOVE/USDT and MOVE/USD. Live data on this page comes from a multi-venue feed and refreshes every 60 seconds. The reference quote is volume-weighted across the venues with the deepest order books. MOVE hit an all-time high near $1.40 shortly after its December 2024 launch and has been working through a long recovery since the May 2025 market-maker controversy.

Most Ethereum L2s run the EVM. Movement does not. The chain executes Move bytecode, the same family of bytecode that Aptos and Sui use, and pulls Ethereum into the picture as the settlement layer rather than the execution environment. The pitch is that Move was built from day one to handle digital assets safely, and the Ethereum economy is where the assets actually live.
Three properties Move brings that Solidity does not give you for free:
Whether those properties actually drag developers off the EVM is the open question. Move developer headcount across all chains is still a fraction of the Solidity pool, and Movement is competing for a thin talent layer with Aptos and Sui already in front of it.
Movement is structured as a modular rollup. The pieces split across three layers, each with a different job, and the design choices look closer to an optimistic rollup with a custom finality bolt-on than to a classic ZK L2.
The architecture is recognizable: optimistic execution, modular DA, Ethereum settlement. The differentiated part is the language, not the rollup design.
MOVE went live on December 9, 2024, with a community airdrop and Day-1 listings on Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, KuCoin, and Bybit. The launch was unusually well-distributed for an L2 token and pushed MOVE briefly above $1.40 before the broader market rotation and, later, the May 2025 controversy pulled it back hard.
Numbers worth knowing:
Unlock cadence is the recurring overhang. Each scheduled tranche for team and investors is a known supply event regardless of how the protocol performs in the meantime, and the market has historically traded those dates with visible weakness.
In May 2025 Movement Labs publicly disclosed that a market-maker arrangement with Web3Port, a Singapore firm, had been mishandled. Roughly 5% of supply was tied to liquidity arrangements that the team later disavowed, and Web3Port allegedly dumped a meaningful portion of those tokens into the market. The disclosure landed badly: MOVE dropped sharply on the news, and the price had already been weakening for weeks.
What happened in the response:
The episode hurt MOVE on two timelines. Short term, the price gave up most of its launch gains. Longer term, the controversy raised real questions about how token contracts are negotiated and disclosed across the L2 sector, and Movement is now the project most associated with that conversation. Whether the post-controversy controls are enough to rebuild trust is something the next two years of execution have to prove.
MOVE is an EVM-adjacent token in the sense that you usually arrive on the Movement chain by bridging from Ethereum L1 or another L2. Buying the token itself is the same flow as any major L2 listing, with one extra step if you want to actually use the chain rather than only hold the asset.
Send a small test transaction first whenever you bridge larger amounts. Bridge UX has improved across the L2 sector, but a few cents in test gas still beats recovering a misrouted five-figure transfer.
MOVE carries the usual set of L2 risks plus a specific reputational tail from the May 2025 episode. The shape of the risk is different from a token like APT or TIA precisely because of that history.
