About CryptoChoice
CryptoChoice is an independent crypto exchange comparison service for users in the CIS. We help you pick an exchange for a specific goal: P2P deposits in rubles, hryvnias and tenge, low fees, copy trading. We rate exchanges using our own transparent CryptoChoice Score methodology and make money through partner links — without it affecting our scores.
Why we do this
Choosing a crypto exchange in the CIS is harder than it looks: what matters isn't how "trendy" a brand is, but convenient deposits and withdrawals of your local currency via P2P, real fees and reliability. We bring all of this together in one place so you can pick a platform in a couple of minutes instead of by trial and error.
How we rate exchanges
It's built around the CryptoChoice Score index (a 1–5 scale). We rate each exchange across five criteria, each with its own weight:
- P2P for the CIS — 30% (volume, payment methods, rate)
- Reliability — 25% (track record, Proof of Reserves, volumes)
- Fees — 20%
- Convenience — 15% (interface, English language support, app)
- Coin selection — 10%
Our scores are based on testing with real accounts and public data. The rating is updated as the conditions at exchanges change.
Editorial principles
- Honesty over hype. Every review covers both the pros and the cons.
- Partnerships don't affect our scores. Referral links don't buy a spot in the rating.
- Transparency. The rating methodology is open, and the data is dated.
- User safety. We warn about P2P risks, scams and account freezes.
How we make money
Some of the links to exchanges are referral links. When you sign up through them, the project receives a reward from the exchange. The price and terms don't change for you, and sometimes you even get an extra bonus. This lets us keep developing the service and keep it free. Learn more in the "Disclaimer and risks" section.
Important to understand
CryptoChoice is an information project. We are not an exchange, we don't hold your funds and we don't give individual financial advice. Cryptocurrencies are a high-risk asset; any decisions you make are your own.
