Crypto exchanges comparison [trade fee + listing fee + age + mobile app + more!]

[Raja_MBZ]

The addition of URLs to Telegram and Discord channels of all the exchange platforms is now complete.

Yes. Although apparently Quedex is still not offering it?

Why the hell doesn't Quedex have a 2FA login in 2019?

2FA will be implemented soon on Quedex, stay tuned. To date we've had a second step of authentication based on PGP (read more), which technically is a two-step auth, but not two-factor. Proper 2FA is coming.

Thanks for updating us! I'm glad to hear that.

Apps: HitBtc (Early access), Indodax.

Regarding Exmarkets, I wrote to them, and apparently, KYC is not enforced as long as your daily withdrawals are not exceeding 10,000 EUR per day.

OP updated, thanks for providing all that valuable information!

A couple of DEX'es to add:

- Paradex (an exchange acquired by Coinbase).U.S based, No KYC is required, officially launched (main net) in 2018, 0.15% fee. No withdrawal fees as everything is done P2P.

- Radar Relay. It's U.S based as well, no KYC, no fees.

I recently used this exchange to trade a small amount for one of my hodlings.
I contacted (TG group) them to know about their KYC policy before depositing and they told me it is not required for the amount I'm willing to trade.

However, yesterday I made BTC withdrawal which took a long time to confirm (I went to sleep but maybe it took at least 15 hrs) because they paid 2 sats/byte. This is the only thing I didn't like.

If you are interested then you can add this one to the list with further research.

Code:

Name: Catex (https://www.catex.io/)
Launch: 2018 (3rd Quarter)
Trade fee: 0.1% most probably
Listing fee: ?
Btc withdraw fee: 0.0005 BTC
Leverage: No
Mobile app: No
Headquarters: ?
Fiat: No
KYC: At a certain point, not sure about the amount.
Dex: No
2fa: Yes

Both of the exchanges have been added to the comparison. Thanks!

Alright, I'll have a look at it right now. Thanks!

Regarding Okex, while googling about it, it seems like the company is based in Malta now? also, the KYC link is leading to a dead page.

This is absurd. I remember they had a nice support desk system at that URL; now it's all completely removed. They should've at least added some sort of redirection or something.

It's so confusing. According to Wikipedia (and OKEx's official Twitter handle), the company is based in Malta. However, their support team calls only include the phone numbers of Hong Kong and Canada. OTOH, according to the following URL, they're based in Malaysia:

https://www.okex.com/pages/company/contactUs.html

Do they even physically exist somewhere or not?

it's the same as binance. they say they moved to malta but really it's just a business registration and an office. okex's real base of operations is hong kong---or maybe belize, depending who you ask.

in reality, i'm sure they have a physical presence in a handful of different countries.

Okay, so I guess I should edit the OP and add all such references.

Updates made in Bithumb and OKEx.

Mercatox.com has been added to the comparison. I find it quite interesting that their exchange is not very well-known, but they've literally everything available. The margin trading, the fiat trading, the lending service, etc. are all included in their services.

[OmegaStarScream]

Mercatox only requires KYC if you're withdrawing more than 0.5 BTC per day.

As for Catex (based in China), it seems like it's mandatory. From their privacy policy:

To comply with global industry regulatory standards including Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know-Your-Customer (KYC), and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF), Catex requires user accounts to undergo user identity authentication for both Personal & Enterprise-level accounts. This entails collecting formal identification.

I used it without KYC and I asked about it in TG before using it.

They said I don't need KYC for the amount I wanted to trade and the amount was pretty low. But I don't know from what amount KYC is mandatory.

nice list but there is some incorrect information for Altilly

Altilly is headquartered in Sweden not Hong Kong. (see: https://www.altilly.com/page/aboutus)
Unfortunately they do have KYC, its opt in for now, and is part of their "AltillyPass" scheme. You have to pay them $10 to join it. (see: https://www.altilly.com/page/altillypass)

I'm glad to see the participation of y'all in this thread! As I've said many times before, I want everyone to help me in keeping the comparison updated; I can't keep it very accurate on my own as all of these platforms continuously evolve.

Thanks for the valuable information! I guess it'll be better if someone contacts their official support and asks about this amount limit; I think I'll do it.

I'm not really a fan of exchanges, but thanks to quite a bit of development over this year affecting how I'm able to trade out my Bitcoin (previously, P2P was my major, almost exclusive choice), I've had to try a few, and since last year been impressed with one based in Austria: BitPanda.com.

They don't have orderbooks (there is a new trading platform but it's separate) so it's more of a direct exchange at the rates given, and I've found them to be better priced than most other options (except P2P), and with no fees for withdrawals to SEPA, hard to find fault. They also have PSD2 licence, which is more than most other exchanges can say (seriously, I'm surprised how many don't have it), can verify most countries in the world, and have multiple fiat cashout options.

It's been really great with support too, and if I were forced to recommend one exchange, this is the one I would.

Trade fee: 1.49% (buy) 1.29% (sell)
Listing fee: Not sure, their token trading platform is new.
Age:
Mobile app: yes
Options: credit card, NETELLER, Skrill, Sofort, GIROPAY, Amazon.de vouchers (only payout), bank transfers.
Currencies: USD, GPB, EURO, CHF.
2FA: yes
HQ: Vienna, Austria
Since: 2014
No KYC limit: 30k EUR cashout lifetime.

Sorry if this sounds like a shill!
