Exchange methodology

How we rank exchanges

Commercial relationships do not determine editorial scores. Partners may receive disclosed featured placements, but scoring is maintained separately.

Security & history

Operational history, custody controls, material incidents and withdrawal reliability.

Regulatory position

Verified entities, licenses and meaningful jurisdiction restrictions.

Fees & liquidity

Published fees plus practical market quality where verified.

Fiat access

Deposit and withdrawal rails, currencies and local payment support.

Products & platform

Spot, derivatives, earn, API, mobile experience and professional tooling.

Ease & support

Onboarding, usability, documentation and support availability.

Scoring and confidence

Scores are editorial snapshots, not live measurements. A platform receives a public score only after manual review. Missing data remains “Unverified” or “Data unavailable”; it is never estimated. Country availability is residency- and entity-specific and may change without notice.

Last reviewed dates and official source links appear on profiles. Crypto University may earn commission from sponsored outbound links.
