Crypto.com Review
A large mobile-first crypto exchange with a broad app ecosystem, card products and staking. Simple-buy fees are high; the Exchange interface is cheaper.
Best for
- Mobile-first crypto users
- Card/rewards users
- Broad coin access
Not best for
- You want the lowest simple-buy fees
- You prefer a compliance-first minimalist exchange
Our verdict & scoring
Crypto.com is a big, consumer-focused exchange known for its slick app, Visa card program, staking and broad coin selection. Convenience comes at a cost: simple in-app buys carry high fees and spreads, while the separate Crypto.com Exchange offers lower maker/taker pricing. Availability varies by country and US state. In 2025 it became one of the first major global exchanges to secure a full MiCA licence (via the Malta MFSA), passportable across the EEA, adding to a UK FCA e-money licence and money-transmitter/VASP licences elsewhere.
Scores are based on our review methodology. Affiliate relationships do not buy higher ratings.
