Anycoin Direct review

Makers pay 0.15% and takers pay 0.15%, so the rate is the same either side of a trade. That sits below the site median 0.2% and places the exchange at 54 of 118 brands ranked on taker fee.

The account is authorised in the Netherlands by Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). Proof of reserves: yes, so the operator publishes what it holds against customer balances. The account is custodial, as custodial and staking shows, so your coins sit with the exchange rather than in a wallet you hold the keys to.

Fiat deposits run through sepa and bank, so a SEPA transfer or a bank transfer funds the account. Trading then happens on the standard setup, where makers and takers pay 0.15% and 0.15%.

Crypto withdrawals carry the network fee plus a third-party cost, while euro withdrawals are free. Moving coins to a wallet you control therefore adds cost on top of the trade, and the account is custodial per custodial and staking.

The catalogue starts at from 400, well clear of the buy-crypto median 60 and the site median 62. You can hold and trade that list, and staking is part of what custodial and staking covers.

It is a centralised custodial exchange, as cex and custodial and staking show, with staking offered on holdings. Derivatives are not offered, so there is no way to hedge or trade with leverage inside the account and everything stays on spot.

Help runs through chat, email and phone, which covers chat, email, a phone line and a help centre. The phone channel is the one many exchanges skip, since only 44.7% of the brands on the site offer it.

The operating entity is Finst B.V., recorded as Finst B.V., and the authorisation from Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) carries licence number 41000015. The registered base is the Netherlands, which suits a euro-first deposit setup.
