Crypto exchanges
We have not published exchange reviews yet. We will only list platforms after checking their authorisation on official registers.
If you were sent here from a partner link, that offer is not available in your country. Some crypto promotions are restricted in certain countries, including the UK.
Until then, these are the questions to ask about any platform — each comes from regulator guidance:
- Is it authorised or registered in my country? Check the regulator’s own register, never a link from the firm (see scam red flags).
- Who holds the keys, and are customer assets kept separate? (see custody)
- What do all the fees add up to, including the spread? (try the profit calculator)
- What happens to my assets if the platform fails? Regulators say compensation schemes are unlikely to apply.
