Pros and cons
Bybit
Pros
- Maintains broad listed coin selection for exchange use
- Publishes proof of reserves as part of exchange transparency
ChangeNOW
Pros
- A catalogue of 1,000 coins sits well past Bitpanda at from 650 and ActivTrades at 9.
- Fiat deposits run through card and apple pay, so a UK reader can fund a buy from a card or a mobile wallet.
- Support covers email, chat and help centre, putting a help centre and live chat in front of email and the community.
Cons
- Derivatives are listed as no, so there is no leveraged product here for anyone sizing positions beyond their cash.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, and a phone line is not part of that list for urgent account or withdrawal problems.
- The operator is CHN Group LLC in VC rather than a UK company, which matters for anyone leaving a balance on the platform.
Who each suits
Bybit
Who it suits
- Customers seeking broad listed coin choice
- Customers valuing published proof of reserves
ChangeNOW
Who it suits
- UK buyers who want the longest catalogue and a taker fee of 0%.
- Readers who want to choose their holding setup, since custodial, self custody and staking covers custodial and self-custody accounts.
- Holders who want staking alongside trading on the same venue.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not bunq, which charges a taker fee of 0.25% to 1.99%, so ChangeNOW wins for anyone who trades often and watches the order book cost.
- Not Bitpanda, whose from 650 coins cover a smaller catalogue than the 1,000 listed here.
- Not ActivTrades, where the coin list is 9 and readers after long-tail tokens will find too little choice.

Nothing at the order book. The taker fee is 0% and the maker fee is 0%, so both sides of the book are free on spot orders. Withdrawals are listed at 0. Anything your card issuer or the chain you send to charges sits outside those numbers.
