To date, there are more than 200 cryptocurrency exchanges - and more than half of them have security problems. Such data are contained in the research of the analytical company ICORating.
Over the past eight years, 31 exchanges have been hacked, and the total loss of customers exceeded $1.3 billion, the report states.
ICORating specialists analyzed 100 platforms with a trading volume of more than $1 million. 54% of crypto exchanges, including such large ones as Bitfinex, do not care about the safety of their clients' funds, they argue. To secure your capital, you should choose a stock exchange with the maximum degree of security.
According to ICORating, the best of this indicator is the American Coinbase Pro. Also, in the top three are Kraken and BitMEX. Cobinhood, which came in eighth, had problems with console errors, Luno (10th) had a domain security. Of the first ten, Coinut and UEX may have the greatest difficulties with the safety of clients' funds. It is surprising that the world's largest daily trading volume exchange, Binance, ranked only 17th in the security rating. Well, the worst indicators at OKCoin, the platform ranked last in the rating.
