Bitcoin Romania review

A trade costs a taker fee of 0.25%. That is above the 0.2% site median and well above the 0% charged by ActivTrades, so frequent trading is where the gap shows.

The exchange lists 30 coins, which places it 120 of 172 brands on coins listed and below the 62 site median. Bitpanda lists from 650 coins, so the gap in choice is wide.

Custody sits with the operator: custodial is the model, and it runs as a cex exchange. That keeps key handling out of your hands, and it also means a balance depends on the platform rather than a wallet you control.

Support runs on email, phone and community. Email and phone are the routes that reach a person, and a community channel covers everything else. The mix is modest, so a phone call is the faster route when a question is urgent rather than waiting on a written reply.

It is run by BTR EXCHANGE S.R.L., registered in Romania, and trading since 2014. Staying power is the main draw for local buyers, and a single named company sits behind the platform rather than a loose collection of brands.

For a first account, yes if the 30 coins on offer cover what you want to hold. Custody through custodial means there is nothing to set up, and support on email, phone and community gives you a person to call. It stays a thin platform for anyone chasing longer lists.

Here a trade costs 0.25%. bunq charges 0.25% to 1.99% on crypto, so the two overlap at the lower end, while ActivTrades lists 0%. For frequent trading, that difference matters more than the coin list.
