Exchange Listing Criteria

At Cexfinder, we don’t list every available crypto exchange. We do our best to only list exchanges with a proven track record of reliability, regulatory compliance and safety.

Safety of user funds is our priority, and because of this we only list exchanges which fall under the following criteria:

  • Must be live and operating for at least 24 months.
  • Should be in top 50 spot or derivatives volume (CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko).
  • Must service users globally. Local exchanges operating in only one or a few countries or regions are not listed.
  • Must have reasonable fees. Spot fees should be lower than 0.30%, and futures fees should be lower than 0.070% taker and 0.030% maker.
  • Must support crypto withdrawals and allow self-custody of assets.

“Exchanges” that will not be listed include:

  • Trading platforms only available through mobile apps.
  • Exchanges charging exorbitant transaction fees, or charging any “inactivity” or “account management” fees for non-active traders.
  • Exchanges with suspicious trading volumes.
  • Exchanges with poor user or customer support experience.
  • Exchanges that are not primarily aimed at crypto trading. This includes trading platforms or payment services that only offer Bitcoin, Ethereum, or a few other popular digital currencies.
  • Exchanges with fewer than 50 different trading pairs listed on spot, or less than 100 on derivatives.
  • Exchanges without any USD stablecoin pairs.

Our goal is to have a comprehensive list of reliable and safe crypto exchanges for our global user base.

We reserve the right to list or remove any exchange listings which we don’t believe are in our user’s best interest.
