Awards criteria
Here’s how our expert analysts assessed Australian crypto trading platforms to pick the 2023 winner.
Selection criteria
We conducted an extensive review of the cryptocurrency market in Australia in late 2022.
We attempted to include all of the platforms that are registered to operate in Australia, provided they met the requirements set by the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) to serve Australian residents. We then refined this list by applying Finder’s due diligence procedures.
The result was 25 cryptocurrency exchanges and brokers who were then measured across 61 individual criteria.
The award for “Best Crypto Trading Platform – Overall” was given to the product that had the highest overall score across all 61 criteria.
All other categories were assessed using different combinations of criteria and weightings which depended on the category. For instance, the Value award upweighted scores based on fee data, and omitted criteria relating to advanced trading products.
For more details on the specific weightings used in each category, read our full methodology.
