No offense but, is it really necessary though?
Most major exchange are still accepting new members and only few has put a limit or completely stopping a new member to register.
I don't think this list won't get any bigger in future.

Anyway, last time I checked Bitfinex still accepting new member.

The only exchanges i know that accepts new registrations is the etherdelta exchange this exchange really my favorite.

Bitfinex doesn't accept new users anymore. Just try to sign up for a new account, and you'll see a notification pop up where they explain why they don't accept new users anymore. They'll open up again by January 15th they say.

Great thing for people is that Bitstamp, Gemini and GDAX are still allowing people to sign up. These are probably the most trustworthy exchanges in the industry, and they are still open for business.

Who wants to sign up at a stinking exchange as Bitfinex when you can sign up at one of the aforementioned exchanges? The only question for now remains how long before they halt new user registrations too......

I observed these also but even though they would accept new accounts, it would take a week for it to confirmed by their management. It is not every hour that they have that costumers service because i notice cryptpcurrency is now gaining popularity and people want to make accounts in different exchange sites to buy their own btc or just try how to make trades in those sites.

Thank you! I have updated the thread.
I could add plus information like lengthy confirmation time or limited registrations per day.
I am just asking you to notify me if you experience similar limits anywhere.

Appreciate your effort to make the list, but I do not think it is very useful. If you do not mind, I would suggest you to make a list of all exchange with all details of it  especially about the withdrawal fees, need ID verification or not, trading fees, etc.
I think it would be much more useful than a list of exchange that is not accepting/still accepting new registration.

I only know a few commercial sites do not accept new registration as Binance, most of the remaining commercial sites still accept the normal registration. You can trade in some big decks like Bittrex, Poloniex, Cryptopia, Coinexchange ... These are big floors and you look for opportunities on these floors.

i guess its just temporary, i've tried to sign up in bittrex and i noticed that they stop accepting new members, the problem is many people joining the crypto space every day and it becomes bigger and bigger, will thes exchanges solve thier problem.

KUCOIN is getting more coins in their platform and the volumes are pretty high too.

https://www.kucoin.com/#/?r=25545 (https://www.kucoin.com/#/?r=25545)

there are many trusted exchanges accepting new member like poloniex, livecoin, cryptopia and kucoin. Binance will open registration soon just keep on eye that exchange looks like binance are popular exchanger now.

Guess the better thread would be "Exchanges not anymore accepting new registration" because from your list there isn't really much that doesn't accept new registration hence the general rule is that exchanges still accept new registrants.

Although, from your list I would suggest you add something like "exchanges that require KYC/ID before registration". Because, for example, Poloniex requires you to present ID at registration or you won't be able to even deposit and trade, even though they still allow registration. That is quite different from accepting or not accepting new registration.

Another point though, since exchanges are getting stricter and stricter, this has now been a new business of people on the forum. They're now selling accounts on these exchanges. This was not possible back when registrations were all open and easy to do. I guess it will be big business soon enough since there are a lot of people wanting to get into crypto.

Yeah kucoin is a good exchange everyday the volune is getting higher and higher, new coins are being listed on thier platform and they have even also giving prices to the top traders

That's one of the most useful topics that I have seen this week.
I would like to add some to the list.

Poloniex- as of now(1/12), it accepts new users, and also responding really fast for the enhanced verification requests.
Seems like the exchange has hired a lot of stuffs and it Poloniex are actually responding to tickets!.
Bittrex- Won't accept any new users.
Kraken- Won't accept any new users, as for 12/18/17
Binance- Won't accept any new users, but I heard about a trick that you can register through the Launch pad, it is worth checking out.

If they not accept new registrations i think you need only to wait until they accept again like in binance that reach their limit but still they only need maintenance so they can manage again to accept new member in binance.I think also we need to deposit in all exchanger here so we learn knowledge about all of that and we can use it here,Moreover OP your post are constructive in some way and if newbie see this post of your they will know some exchanger another thing add mercatox because it's good for beginners.

cool .thank you for this information

In order to avoid overloading and scams, some large commercial sites are currently preventing them from registering new accounts. Perhaps this is the way to cool down the market of commercial sites after some big countries around the world have strong policy to prevent bitcoins and other altcoin transactions and exchanges.

Thanks for the info. It is helpful if this thread could be more enhanced by providing the support response along with the exchanges if they respond quickly or no repose etc so that according people will register on those exchanges.

Also if the trading fees could be mentioned against the exchanges will make the best of this thread to refer .

The fact that some big exchanges do not accept new users will scare away the crypto newcomers...

HitBTC, Liqui, Kucoin still accepting new users. Also you can try decentralized exchanges, they are always open

I like the idea  :)
From now on, you could add any information, you think, people should be aware of, about your favorite exchange!

Also, I am thankful to everyone who has contributed to the thread with information!
I scrolled through your replies and updated the thread.

No yobit and bitgrail? Many more of them are coming, next.exchange, cobinhood and many more.

Thanks!
I have added them.
Nevertheless, how are the mentioned exchanges different or better than the others?

Thank you for this, but i have abig trouble with my coin in the etherdelta right now, i cannot even sell and withdraw all my ethereum since last week. Do you have any idea why?

Not yet, but if anyone else is having this issue too, I could mention it under the exchange. In order to notify others. As well as the solution when we have.
