What criteria must an exchange meet to be recommended?

To help you choose the best exchange(s) for your trade, we distinguish between two types of exchanges and markets: recommended and neutral.

Recommended

We will recommend an exchange (and its markets) if it meets the following criteria:

The exchange...

...has decent trading volume and liquidity.
...has not convincingly been reported by trustworthy sources for being possibly insolvent, faking trading activity or conducting any illicit activities.
...exists for a long enough period of time or has endorsements from reputable industry players.
...is awesome! 😎

Neutral

Well, when the exchange doesn’t meet enough of the above criteria, we don't recommend it. As easy as that!
