FAQ
We opened accounts on 18 cryptocurrency exchanges and reviewed each one across 60 variables. For each platform we assessed:
- Fees & Spreads
- Deposit Methods
- Withdrawal Methods
- Security
- Features & Services
- Ease of Use
We published all of the data if you want to review and compare the platforms yourself.
If you only want to buy large coins, then one cryptocurrency exchange is usually enough. However, opening several accounts and wallets is common if you want more altcoins, features and tools to explore the crypto industry and its opportunities.
RankFi is independently owned and operated by a small team of crypto enthusiasts. We are not owned by any cryptocurrency exchanges or companies that can influence the rankings.
