How we rank
The order of this list follows CoinGecko's Trust Score at the time of our review. CoinGecko rates every exchange on liquidity, scale of operations, cybersecurity and proof of reserves, so the score reflects how genuine and deep an exchange's market is, not only how big it is. The trust score and volume columns refresh automatically.
Our star rating then scores five things that matter to a trader: security (licences, proof of reserves, incident history), fees, liquidity, the range of coins and products, and ease of use. Every fact in the reviews was checked on the exchange's own website and on regulators' registers.

Frequently asked questions
How are these crypto exchanges ranked?
The list follows the CoinGecko Trust Score, which rates exchanges on liquidity, scale of operations, cybersecurity and proof of reserves. The trust score and the 24-hour trading volume in the table update live from CoinGecko. Our own star rating adds fees, coin choice, licences and ease of use.
Which crypto exchange has the lowest fees?
Spot fees on the large exchanges usually start between 0.08% and 0.25% per trade for small accounts and fall with higher monthly volume or when you pay fees in the exchange token. Compare the maker and taker columns above and check the exchange's own fee page before trading, because tiers change often.
Is it safe to keep crypto on an exchange?
Exchanges with proof of reserves, cold storage and a licence in your country are safer, but no exchange is risk-free: hacks, insolvencies and account freezes have happened. Many traders keep only what they actively trade on the exchange and move long-term holdings to a wallet they control.
Do I need to verify my identity (KYC)?
Almost every exchange in this list requires identity verification before you can deposit fiat money, trade or withdraw. The exact limits for unverified accounts are listed in each review.
Can I use these exchanges in my country?
Availability differs by country. Some exchanges block residents of the United States, the United Kingdom or other regions, or offer only part of their products there. Each review lists the main licences; always check the exchange's terms for your country before signing up.
Risk warning: Crypto assets are highly volatile and largely unregulated; you can lose all of your money. Exchanges can be hacked or fail. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
