Our verdict

Pros and cons
Pros
- Registered in Turkey as a Crypto Asset Service Provider, the regulator named in Crypto Asset Service Provider
- Fiat deposits run by bank transfer, the method listed in bank, which suits people already banking locally
- Custodial holding under custodial, so balances sit with the exchange rather than in a wallet the user controls
- Founded in 2018 and still trading, so the venue is not a recent launch
Cons
- Proof of reserves is no, which leaves the safety case resting on the licence alone
- Deposits are limited to the bank rail in bank, so card and mobile wallet funding is not offered
- Support runs on email and community only, with no phone line or live chat listed
Who it suits
- Buyers in Turkey who want a regulated, custodial venue funded from a bank account
- People who plan to hold balances on the platform rather than move them to self-custody
- Traders who want a broad coin list without moving to a larger provider
Who should look elsewhere
- ActivTrades, where the taker fee is 0%
- bunq, whose taker fees run 0.25% to 1.99%
- Bitpanda, which lists from 650 coins for anyone who wants more of the list
Fees
Trading costs sit the same on both sides of the book, with taker fees of 0.01% to 0.35% and maker fees of 0.01% to 0.35%. The range opens below the site median of 0.2% and closes under the upper quartile of 0.55%, which puts the headline rate among the cheaper custodial exchanges here. For most buyers, deposit method matters more than the trade fee.
How your money is protected
The safety case rests on a single licence. icrypex appears in Crypto Asset Service Provider as a Crypto Asset Service Provider in Turkey, which is a registration rather than a deposit guarantee. Against that, proof of reserves is no, so no reserve audit sits behind the claim that customer coins are fully backed. Readers weighing safety of the money have the licence and little else to lean on.

Frequently asked questions
What does icrypex charge to trade?+
Taker fees run 0.01% to 0.35% and maker fees run 0.01% to 0.35%, the same range on both sides of the book. That range opens below the site median of 0.2% and closes under the upper quartile of 0.55%, so costs sit towards the cheaper end of what custodial exchanges charge.
Is icrypex regulated?+
It appears in Crypto Asset Service Provider as a Crypto Asset Service Provider, and it is based in Turkey. That registration covers its operation as a crypto service, and it is not a deposit guarantee, so it does not stand in for a bank or for a compensation scheme.
Does icrypex publish proof of reserves?+
Proof of reserves is no, so there is no published audit showing customer balances against the exchange's own holdings. Safety then rests on the licence in Crypto Asset Service Provider rather than on a reserve check, which is worth weighing before larger balances are left on the platform.
How do I deposit money?+
Fiat deposits run by bank transfer, the method listed in bank. Card and mobile wallet payments are not part of the deposit list, so the account has to be funded from a bank account. That suits people already banking in Turkey rather than those paying by card.
Who holds my crypto?+
It is a custodial exchange, listed under custodial, so balances are held by the exchange on the holder's behalf and the keys do not sit with the customer. That keeps trading simple, though moving funds out depends on the exchange. Anyone wanting a self-custody wallet would need a different venue.
How many coins can I trade?+
The exchange lists 124 coins, which is above the exchange median of 74.5. Breadth is solid for a venue of its size, though the listing of from 650 coins at Bitpanda shows how much more some providers carry.
What can I contact icrypex about?+
Support runs on email and community, meaning email and community channels rather than a phone line or live chat. Questions about an account or a withdrawal will be handled over email, which suits people comfortable writing and less so anyone who wants to talk it through.
