Finder Crypto Trading Platform Awards Australia 2023

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.
