Five steps to protect a crypto exchange account
Account protection and a test transaction are more important than the speed of the first deposit.

How to choose an exchange

  • The service is available in your country and for your client type.
  • Legal entity, verification, and withdrawal rules are clear.
  • The necessary assets, pairs, networks, and transaction history are available.
  • 2FA, anti‑phishing code, and device control are available.

Transfer network

Checking the network and address when transferring cryptocurrency
The same token can operate on multiple networks. Both the asset and the network must match.

Exchange and broker are different models.

On a spot crypto exchange, the user typically buys the asset and can withdraw it. In MT4, MT5, or cTrader, a CFD broker usually opens a contract on price movement without withdrawing the coin. A detailed comparison is located in the cryptocurrency trading guide..
