Paid placements in a ranking01 partner link, marked “Ad”
How this site is paid forBitunix is a paid partner: its featured card and its “Open” buttons are affiliate links and carry an “Ad” label. That never changes a rank or a score: the order comes from licence, proof of reserves, fees, deposits, coins and app rating, and the partner sits at the place its facts give it. Every other link to an exchange is a plain link.

FAQ

Is an entry in the MiCA register enough to trust an exchange?

It means the company is authorised or notified as a crypto-asset service provider in an EU or EEA state and supervised there. It does not prove that customer funds are held in full — that is what a proof of reserves adds — and it is not a guarantee against losses.

What does “not in the MiCA register” mean?

That no entry for the provider was found in the ESMA interim MiCA register on the check date. It is a statement about the register, not a legal assessment: the page does not say whether a service may be offered or used in a country.

What does proof of reserves show?

That an exchange held at least the coins its customers had on deposit at one point in time, usually with a Merkle tree customers can check and sometimes an outside accountant. The three marks in the comparison stand for: published, an auditor is named, and a dated or regular report.

Why does my country change the comparison?

A provider authorised in one member state has to name the other states in which it offers services. The register status shown here is read for the country you choose, and it is part of every score.

Do affiliate links change the ranking?

No. The rank is computed from the facts in the table. Bitunix is a paid partner and its links carry an “Ad” label; it is ranked by the same formula as everyone else, and facts that could not be verified count as zero for it as for any other exchange.

Where can I see what a purchase costs in total?

This site compares which exchange fits and what is known about it. The total cost of a purchase — trading fee, spread, deposit and withdrawal — is calculated on comparecryptofees.xyz, and withdrawal fees per coin and network are listed on withdrawalradar.com.

Why are some values “not verified”?

A value is only shown when it was read on the provider’s own page or in a register, with the address and the date. What could not be confirmed stays empty and counts as zero in the score. Nothing is estimated.
