Exchange guide

Know what to check before you open an account with any exchange.

Learn what an exchange is and how exchanges differ, and use a checklist before you send money to one. Every link goes to the exchange’s own website.

CryptoBipto is a crypto education platform. It does not buy, sell, hold or send cryptocurrency for anyone, and it does not give financial advice.

How it works

02

A checklist to run before your first deposit on an exchange

The checklist has seven steps, from turning on strong security to sending a small test transaction first. Each exchange profile, including its score, is a first editorial draft that has not yet been checked against exchange or regulator sources, and the app says so on every profile.

What is included

03

You filter the profiles by region

You choose one of 14 regions, and the guide shows the profiles listed for that region. The guide never asks for your location. Whether you can open an account depends on the exchange’s own rules, so confirm with the exchange that its service is available to you.

Questions

Does CryptoBipto get paid when I sign up somewhere?

CryptoBipto is paid for by its members. CryptoBipto does not currently receive payment from any exchange or financial provider. If that changes, each paid link will be labeled where it appears, together with what the payment depends on. No exchange or provider pays for its position or score, and CryptoBipto does not accept payment for coverage.

Which exchanges are covered?

53 exchanges across 14 regions. Every profile is a first editorial draft that has not yet been checked against exchange or regulator sources, and the app says so on each one.

Is the guide for members only?

Yes. The exchange guide is part of membership.
