Which crypto exchanges are actually regulated?

No source is, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we promise is that every conclusion links to the official record behind it, so you can check the evidence yourself in one click. When a register changes, our record follows at the next sync.

No. Positions and grades are not for sale at any price. Exchanges can pay for clearly labelled advertising or for us to verify documents they submit, but a paid verification buys the review, never the result.

Not necessarily. It means it does not appear in the registers we read today. Some exchanges are licensed in markets we do not cover yet, such as Korea, Turkey or Mexico. Treat it as a gap in the evidence, not a verdict.

Licence and warning data comes from regulators' own public registers. Prices and volumes come directly from each exchange's public market data. We do not resell data from other ranking sites.

Volume is reported by the exchange itself and is the easiest number to inflate. The table shows it for reference, but our grade is built on regulation, because that is what protects your money when something goes wrong.

We matched the licence to the exchange by company name only, for example Bybit EU GmbH, and have not yet confirmed it through a registered website. We never use a name match alone to flag an exchange.

We cannot give legal advice. Several regulators, including Japan's Financial Services Agency, warn that unregistered platforms may leave you without legal protection if funds are lost. Check your local rules before you deposit.

No. We are not an exchange, broker or wallet. We never hold customer assets and never route orders.

No. We publish regulatory and market facts about platforms. We do not tell you what to buy or sell, or whether an investment will make money.
