Crypto exchange FAQ
How do you rank crypto exchanges?
Each exchange is scored 0–5 on security & regulation (30%), fees (25%), coin selection (15%), fiat access & payments (15%), and usability & support (15%). The overall score is the weighted average. Payment never changes a score.
Why does availability by country matter?
Regulators restrict exchanges that aren't licensed locally. In the Philippines, the SEC and telcos have blocked several offshore exchanges; in India, exchanges must register with FIU-IND; several exchanges left Canada in 2023. Always use a platform that's permitted where you live.
Which exchange has the lowest fees?
Sort the table by spot taker fee. Note these are the lowest retail tier on the main trading screen — 'instant buy' or card purchases usually cost noticeably more.
Is my money safe on an exchange?
No exchange is risk-free. Prefer regulated platforms that publish proof of reserves, enable 2FA, and consider moving long-term holdings to your own wallet.
