Trust Score Score
Trust Score is a rating algorithm developed by CoinGecko to evaluate the legitimacy of an exchange’s trading volume. Trust Score is calculated on a range of metrics such as liquidity, scale of operations, cybersecurity score, and more.
24h Open Interest 24h Int.
The total value of all open derivative contracts (futures and perpetuals) on the exchange in the last 24 hours. It indicates market activity and trader engagement.
24h Trading Volume 24h Vol.
Trading volume adjusted by CoinGecko’s methodology to provide a more accurate representation of an exchange’s true volume, potentially filtering out any artificial or inflated volume. This is different from the raw “24H volume,” which is the total trading volume reported by the exchange without any adjustment.
Perpetuals Perpetuals
The total volume of perpetual contracts traded on the exchange in the last 24 hours. Perpetuals are futures contracts without an expiry date.
Futures Futures
The total volume of standard futures contracts (with an expiration date) traded on the exchange in the last 24 hours.

Explore the Top Crypto Exchanges to Buy Crypto & Bitcoin with Confidence

The world of cryptocurrency continues to expand rapidly, and having access to reliable, secure, and easy-to-use platforms is more important than ever. Whether you’re just beginning your digital asset journey or actively managing a growing portfolio, finding the top crypto exchanges is a key step in ensuring safe and effective trading.

A modern crypto exchange goes far beyond basic trading — offering features like fiat onramps, mobile apps, staking, derivatives, and real-time market analytics. The exchanges featured in our curated crypto exchanges list meet the highest standards in security, liquidity, transparency, and user experience.

 

How to Choose the Best Crypto Exchanges for Your Needs

Not all trading platforms are created equal. The best crypto exchanges cater to users with different experience levels, financial goals, and regional preferences. Some offer zero-fee trading, while others specialize in advanced tools for professionals.

Here’s what to look for when evaluating a Bitcoin exchange or multi-asset crypto platform:

  • Regulatory compliance and licensing in your region
  • Support for fiat deposits and withdrawals (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.)
  • Variety of cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, stablecoins, and altcoins
  • Mobile accessibility and user-friendly interface
  • Transparent fee structures
  • Cold wallet storage and two-factor authentication for security

Using a verified and trusted exchange ensures you can buy crypto & bitcoin safely and efficiently, while also reducing exposure to fraud or technical risks.

 

Where to Buy Crypto & Bitcoin: Global Access with Local Support

One of the biggest advantages of digital assets is their global nature — and today’s crypto exchanges support users from nearly every part of the world. Whether you’re in North America, Europe, Asia, or Africa, you can buy crypto & bitcoin in your local currency using familiar payment methods like bank transfers, credit cards, or digital wallets.

Major platforms often provide multilingual support, 24/7 customer service, and educational tools to help you navigate the evolving crypto landscape with confidence.

Some of the top platforms also offer recurring purchases, automated trading bots, and portfolio insights — allowing users to optimize their strategies and grow their holdings over time.

 

How to Sell Crypto & Bitcoin Easily and Securely

Selling your digital assets is just as important as buying them. Whether you’re taking profits, rebalancing your portfolio, or converting to fiat, a quality exchange should allow you to sell crypto & bitcoin quickly, securely, and at competitive rates.

Most reputable platforms offer:

  • Instant or same-day fiat withdrawals
  • Support for stablecoins and other trading pairs
  • Minimal slippage and low withdrawal fees
  • Built-in tax tracking and trade history downloads

Selling through a regulated crypto exchange also helps ensure compliance with local financial laws and simplifies tax reporting obligations.

FAQ about derivative crypto exchanges

What is a derivative crypto exchange?

A derivative crypto exchange is a platform that allows users to trade cryptocurrency-based financial contracts, such as futures, options, and perpetual swaps, rather than the underlying digital assets themselves. These contracts derive their value from the price movements of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Unlike spot exchanges, where users directly buy and sell crypto, derivative exchanges focus on speculation, hedging, and leverage-based trading strategies.
Leading derivative platforms include exchanges like Binance Futures, Bybit, and Bitget, which offer a wide range of trading pairs and leverage options to suit different strategies.

What are the advantages of trading on a derivative crypto exchange?

Derivative exchanges offer several unique benefits that appeal to both professional traders and experienced retail users:

  • Leverage: Traders can open larger positions than their initial capital allows, potentially amplifying profits (and risks).

  • Hedging: Derivatives enable users to protect their portfolios against market volatility by opening positions in the opposite direction.

  • Speculation: Traders can bet on both rising and falling prices, allowing profit opportunities in both bull and bear markets.

  • High Liquidity: Top derivative exchanges often have deep order books, reducing slippage even for large trades.

  • 24/7 Trading: Like spot markets, crypto derivatives are available around the clock, providing flexibility and continuous opportunity.

However, trading with leverage introduces higher risk, especially for beginners. Losses can exceed initial deposits, so risk management is crucial.

How do I get started with a derivative exchange?

Here’s a basic guide to start trading crypto derivatives:

  1. Choose a Platform: Popular derivative exchanges include Bybit, Bitget, Binance Futures, and OKX. Choose one with strong security, user-friendly tools, and low fees.
  2. Create an Account: Register using your email address or mobile number. Some platforms require KYC verification for higher limits or fiat access.
  3. Fund Your Account: Deposit crypto (usually USDT, BTC, or ETH) into your account wallet. Many platforms support internal transfers from their spot market wallets.
  4. Select a Market: Pick the futures or perpetual contract you want to trade. Check available leverage and margin requirements.
  5. Open a Position: Choose your order type (limit, market, stop) and enter your trade size and direction (long or short).
  6. Manage Risk: Use tools like stop-loss and take-profit to manage your exposure. Monitor your margin ratio to avoid liquidation.

Do I pay taxes on derivative crypto trades?

Yes. Trading crypto derivatives is considered a taxable activity in most countries. Whether you’re realizing gains from futures contracts or earning income from funding fees, these are typically subject to capital gains or income tax depending on your jurisdiction.

For example, in the United States, derivative trades are generally treated similarly to other crypto transactions — any realized profit is subject to taxation. It’s important to keep detailed records of every trade, including the type of derivative, position size, entry and exit price, and dates for accurate reporting.

Do derivative crypto exchanges report to tax authorities?

Some centralized derivative exchanges may report trading activity to tax authorities, especially if they require KYC and operate in jurisdictions with strict compliance rules. However, this varies by platform and region.

Even if the exchange does not report your activity, you’re still legally obligated to report your gains and losses. Tax authorities like the IRS increasingly focus on cryptocurrency enforcement, so failing to disclose derivative profits can lead to penalties.

To stay compliant, consider using crypto tax tools that support derivatives, and consult a tax advisor familiar with digital asset regulation in your country.
