Latest research & guides

Long-form answers to the questions traders actually type into search and into AI assistants.

Methodology

How we score a platform

Five measurable factors, fixed weights, published inputs. We publish weak points as openly as strengths — which is why some providers refuse to work with us.

Questions traders ask before signing up

Short, dated answers. Every figure links back to the review it came from.

How often do you re-check exchange fees?

Weekly for ranked platforms. We log into live accounts, pull the current maker/taker schedule and place a $1,000 market order to measure realised slippage. Every review page carries the date of the last check.

Do affiliate commissions change your rankings?

No. Placement never moves a score. We publish the five weighted factors and their inputs, so you can reproduce the ranking yourself. Some providers refuse to work with us because we publish weak points as openly as strengths.

Are the bonus amounts on this site guaranteed?

No. Offers, bonus amounts and expiry dates are verified daily but can change without notice from the platform. Always read the official terms on the merchant page before you commit funds.

Is this financial advice?

No. Crypto assets are volatile and nothing here is financial advice. We publish measurements and comparisons so you can make your own decision.

How is this site funded?

Reader-funded and affiliate-funded. Where we link to a platform with an affiliate tag we say so on the page. We never sell a position in a ranking.
