How we pick the best crypto exchanges
Every exchange on this list is reviewed by hand. We check licences and registrations, whether the exchange publishes proof of reserves, its fee schedule, the number of coins and markets, deposit and withdrawal options, and its history of incidents. Live 24-hour volume and the CoinGecko trust score are added automatically so you can see how active each market is right now.
Before you sign up
- Confirm the exchange is allowed in your country.
- Turn on two-factor authentication and withdrawal whitelists.
- Start with a small amount and test a withdrawal.
- Keep long-term holdings in your own wallet.
Frequently asked questions
How do you rank the best crypto exchanges?
We score each exchange on security and regulation including proof of reserves (35%), fees (20%), liquidity and coin selection (20%), products and tools (15%) and track record (10%). Live trading volume and trust score come from CoinGecko.
Which crypto exchange has the lowest fees?
Base spot fees range from about 0.1% to over 0.5% per trade. Compare the taker-fee chart on this page and check each exchange's fee page, because discounts for VIP tiers and native tokens change often.
Is it safe to keep crypto on an exchange?
Exchanges can be hacked or fail. Prefer licensed platforms that publish proof of reserves, enable two-factor authentication, and move long-term holdings to a wallet you control.
Can I use these exchanges in my country?
Availability depends on local rules. Each review lists known restrictions, but always confirm on the exchange's website before you sign up.
What does the CoinGecko trust score mean?
It is an independent 1–10 score that weighs liquidity, scale, API coverage and cybersecurity. We show it live next to each exchange.
Editorial note: ForexPart may earn a commission when you sign up through some partner links. This never changes how we rate crypto exchanges — ratings are based on regulation, costs, conditions and how clear the rules are.
Risk warning: Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and you can lose all of the money you invest. Availability, fees and rewards differ by country; always confirm the latest conditions on the exchange's official website before you sign up.
