Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you register on an exchange through one of them, that exchange may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing and doesn't change your fees or terms.

Here's the part disclosures usually mumble through:

• Rankings are set before money is considered. The comparison is built on listings depth, spot fees, KYC terms, country availability, and documented risks — sourced and dated on every page. Affiliate status doesn't move a row.
• Several recommendations pay us nothing. At the time of writing we have no affiliate relationship with Coinbase, Kraken, Bitvavo, Gate, KuCoin, Bitget, or several others in the table — they're recommended where they're the right answer anyway, and marked accordingly next to their CTAs.
• Risk warnings don't soften for partners. If a partner exchange has a hack history or freezes accounts, it says so in the same row as the affiliate link.
• Affiliate links carry rel="sponsored" markup, so the relationship is machine-readable, not just footnoted.

Nothing on this site is financial advice. We compare platforms; what you do with your money is yours to decide, ideally slowly and with the test-send habit intact.
