"I've wired money into exchanges in a dozen countries and watched what happens next: the delays, the hidden fees, the KYC walls. My job is to find out before you do."

Expertise

  • ▸ CEX fee structures: maker/taker, withdrawal, conversion spreads
  • ▸ KYC friction across jurisdictions (no-KYC, tier-1, tier-2)
  • ▸ Withdrawal testing: on-chain timing, network fees, settlement delays
  • ▸ Regional access: geo-blocks, fiat on-ramp availability

Methodology

Opens a funded account with real capital on every exchange reviewed. Tests spot trading, withdrawal (fiat + crypto), and support response time before publishing a score.

Disclosure

Mike holds positions in BTC and ETH. All reviews are editorially independent.
