Best crypto exchange rankings

So CompareCEX publishes one ranking per criterion instead of one master list. Every list below is built from the same Knowledge Graph — verified maker and taker fees, KYC requirements, security posture and country coverage — scored with the same public formula, and no exchange can pay for a position. Pick the list that matches how you will actually use the account, then check the exchange page for the fees and limits that apply to you.
