Ajaib review

Trading costs sit in the middle of the market. Taker fees are 0.222% and maker fees 0.111%, compared with a median taker fee of 0.2% across the listed brands. Heavy traders should budget the taker rate on every buy and sell.

Yes, in its home market. Ajaib is licensed in Indonesia and supervised by Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), the country's financial services regulator. That supervision is what underpins the custodial account model, where Ajaib holds the keys to customer coins rather than each customer holding their own.

By bank transfer. Fiat deposits run through bank, and that route is the most common deposit method among listed buy-crypto providers, at 91.8%. Card funding is not part of the listed deposit methods, so a local bank account is needed.

Yes, derivatives are offered. Ajaib is a cex where the listed features are custodial and staking, so derivatives sit alongside spot trading in a custodial account rather than a self-custody setup, which suits leveraged and short term activity.

Staking is one of the features Ajaib lists, custodial and staking, so coins can be staked on the platform. The account is custodial, so a staked balance is held by Ajaib rather than by a wallet under your own control, and a self-custody setup suits holders who want their own keys.

Ajaib ranks at 65 of 118 brands on taker fee, so it is a mid table payer. The listed median for exchanges is 0.2%, and for buy-crypto providers it is 0.25%.

The list runs to from 500 coins, which is well above the median coin count of 74.5 for listed exchanges. Breadth is not the reason to pick Ajaib, since the fee level and the banking deposit route matter more for most local buyers.

Through the help centre, which is the only support channel listed for Ajaib, help centre. That channel is also the most common one across listed exchanges, at 79.6%, so answers are written for self service rather than live chat.
