Riv Digital review

Trading is charged as a markup on the market price, with taker fees of 2.4% to 4.9% on standard orders. That sits above the site median of 0.2%, so the cost per trade is the first thing to weigh. Withdrawals do not add a separate charge on top of the buy price.

Yes. It operates in Italy under CONSOB, listed among CONSOB (Commissione Nazionale per le Societa e la Borsa) and Commissione Nazionale per le Societa e la Borsa (CONSOB), and holds the MiCA CASP licence recorded as MiCA CASP 815600DCB0E8882D2314. The Italian approval carries a published delibera and proceeding number, so the supervisory record can be checked against the register.

Yes, self-custody is the model, listed under self custody, so keys stay with the account holder rather than the platform. It runs as a centralised exchange, cex, which keeps a familiar interface while custody sits with you. That pairing is the main reason to choose it.

Fiat deposits run through SEPA, listed as sepa, so funding arrives from a bank account rather than a card or wallet. Bank transfer is also the most widespread deposit route across the exchanges compared here, at 91.8%. Plan around a transfer rather than an instant card top-up.

No separate charge is listed for withdrawals. Network gas fees and SEPA or SEPA Instant bank costs are already included in the markup, and the same SEPA rails used to fund the account, sepa, carry money out. The exit cost therefore stays inside the price paid on the way in.

Listings are thin, at 1, which places the brand near the foot of the coins column, ranked 164 out of 172 compared. The typical exchange here lists a median of 62. It suits holding the basics rather than exploring a long tail of assets.

Support runs on email, phone and community, so email, phone and community channels are covered and there is no live chat in that list. A phone line is uncommon among the buy crypto venues compared here, at 24%. Expect written or voice support rather than an instant chat window.
