How do we review Crypto Exchanges?
Every single platform is tested by one of our experienced colleagues, and reviewed by other members of the team. When it comes to exchanges for cryptocurrencies it is not only about fees or costs, but also about reliability and reputation. We have seen too many scams and bankruptcies over the years; making us extremely thorough in our background research. To save you from another FTX debacle it is vital to choose the right exchange to buy, sell and store your crypto.
