Methodology

We rank and review cryptocurrency exchanges on 5 major categories:

Fees
Deposits & Withdrawals
Security & Reputation
Platform & Features
Ease of Use

We also factor in other criteria such as popularity, trading volume and much more. We also have a team to help keep this info updated in the future since the crypto industry changes fast. Learn more about our methodology here.

About Us

We started RankFi to make financial apps more transparent and comparable so you can avoid hidden fees and find the best platform for your needs.

Our rankings are unbiased and not sponsored. If a crypto exchange has an affiliate program we'll use it but it does not affect our rankings.

FAQ

How Many Cryptocurrency Exchanges Should I Use?

Depending how many altcoins and features you want to enjoy, several exchanges might be necessary. Your first step is to find a local exchange where you can convert fiat cheaply into crypto (and for cashing out later). Then you can transfer that cryptocurrency to other platforms or wallets that support the altcoins and features you require.
