Currently, the number of users is 2.3 million crypto-traders from different parts of the world. The average daily trading volume exceeds $94 million, according to CoinMarketCap. As for the level of liquidity, it can be assessed as average for the market.

The exchange can trade and exchange 65 cryptocurrencies and 8 variants of fiat, which are traded in 173 trading pairs. If we look at how much crypto in EXMO, and compare it to other exchanges, it becomes clear that here its number is not so large. In 2019, the exchange launched its own token - EXMO Coin (EXM). The peculiarity of EXMO is that only spot trading is available on the crypto exchange for now. However, even within the spot you can use leverage up to x30 - recently, margin trading became available. Passive income on the exchange can be earned through staking and participation in an affiliate program.

It is also important to note that the cryptocurrency exchange provides an opportunity to purchase paid packages. With their help, you can increase the percentage of income from staking, reduce commissions for transactions, as well as receive more favorable cashbacks. If it is necessary to carry out trades with attraction of especially big sums, it is possible to use services of off-exchange trading - in this case realized transactions will not influence the general situation on the market. All of the features described above are available both on the official website and in the application.

EXMO Pros and cons

Basic information

The amount of commission for trading on EXMO directly depends on the user's trading volume for 30 days (in dollars). There is a single commission fee for beginners:

• 0.1% for makers and takers, if trades are conducted using only cryptocurrency;
• 0.3% for makers and takers, if fiat is involved.

If the volume of trading exceeds $50 million, it is possible to get the most favorable conditions. The commission for participants is reduced to almost zero, and when trading crypto/crypto makers can even count on a surcharge - the commission fee level is -0.017%.

It is also possible to reduce the amount of commission by purchasing a premium package. The cost of such offers ranges from $1 to $500. However, it is important to note that the service is only available when trading using the exchange token - EXM.

As for deposit and withdrawal fees, it all depends on the selected currency. Depositing coins is possible without paying any additional interest. However, to withdraw you will need to pay a commission fee. For EXMO Coin it is 50 EMX, for bitcoin - 0.0005 BTC, for ether - 0.002 ETH, etc. Depositing fiat is also often possible without a fee.

However, when using certain services it will still need to be paid - for example, if the user decides to deposit in dollars through Payeer. In this case the commission will be 0.99%. When withdrawing fiat currency the commission is different, so it is better to see it directly on the site at https://exmo.me/commissions. In addition, here you can immediately see what services are available for deposit and withdrawal of certain currencies.

Trade commissions

Since only spot trading is available at EXMO crypto exchange, the amount of commission should be considered within this direction. But here it is important to pay attention to the fact that the percentage differs depending on the choice of trading pairs crypto/crypto and crypto/fiat. In addition, the amount of commission is influenced by what the user's trading volume is over the past 30 days. The exact figures can be found in the table below.

It is important to keep in mind that on this exchange, it is not possible to get additional discounts on the commission fee when attracting an exchange token to trade. However, it is possible to purchase a premium package that will open up that possibility. The offers are priced at $1, $10, $100, and $500. The cheapest package provides a discount for beginners whose monthly trading volume does not exceed $10,000. The maximum price package reduces the commission level for traders, whose trading volume within 30 days does not exceed $10 million.

Average commission compared to competitors

Making a conclusion about the trading commission of EXMO crypto exchange, we can say that it is on an average level. However, compared to the most popular representatives of the industry, it is slightly inferior.

Cashback

Another opportunity to reduce the level of commission is the cashback feature. In order for the user to take advantage of this option, he needs to buy a suitable package, which will determine a fixed discount from 15% to 100%. The validity period of this offer is 30 days.

Margin lending

In spite of the fact that the exchange does not provide such a service as contract trading, users have access to margin lending. As part of spot trading, traders have the opportunity to use leverage up to x30. The specific amount of credit available depends on how much money the user has on his account, as well as what currency he chooses to trade.

So, for example, when trading with bitcoin, the leverage will be maximal. But if the user chooses a NEM coin, his available credit is no more than x3. More details about the available leverage size can be found on the "Margin Trading" page, which can be accessed through the top menu bar.

The website of EXMO crypto-exchange does not provide details on how it is ready to ensure the security of its clients. However, it is important to note that users are given the opportunity to connect two-factor authentication, which allows them to protect personal data and funds.

The exchange also pursues an active policy to prevent money laundering. In this regard, all transactions carried out are monitored. If certain financial transactions are of a suspicious nature, permission to conduct them is not granted, and the exchange reserves the right to send this data to the relevant law enforcement agencies. It is important to note that permission to verify transactions must be provided by each Exchange client wishing to register and subsequently verify.

As for the data on the regulation of the cryptocurrency exchange, it was not possible to obtain it. At the same time, the company's website has an answer to the question whose exchange EXMO is - the company is registered in the UK. There is also data on registration in the Republic of Lithuania and the U.S. - here the company is registered as an operator of exchange and deposit of virtual currency. The exchange platform itself is also managed by RBK Trading LTD, registered in the jurisdiction of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The question of whether it has a license could not be disclosed either. Wikipedia provides no information about the EXMO exchange. We also could not get such information from the support service. Whether or not EXMO can be trusted in this regard is up to each user to decide.

There is only one type of trading available on the cryptocurrency exchange, which is spot trading. But it is divided into three variants depending on the specifics of the trading process. Therefore, it is important to understand in advance how to work with spot trading within each direction:

EXMO markets

Cryptocurrencies (spot)

The EXMO cryptocurrency exchange does not provide a wide enough selection of coins for spot trading. Only 65 cryptocurrencies are available. Although the most popular ones are represented here. In particular, these are options such as BTC, ETH, TON, USDT, etc. Cryptocurrencies that have recently shown a rapid drop in value are not presented here - for example, there is no Luna on EXMO.

Users can also attract fiat money to their trades - USDX, USD, EUR, GBP, RUB, PLN, UAH, KZT.

OTC trading

If exchange clients are interested in the possibility of making transactions for especially large amounts, it is appropriate for them to use the service of over-the-counter trading. In this case, financial transactions are conducted through third-party services, while the control is carried out by cryptocurrency managers. Advantages of such service:

• The concluded transaction does not affect the rates of cryptocurrencies on the market. This can happen if a large transaction is made directly through the exchange.
• The amount of transactions has no limits. At least 25 thousand dollars can be involved in a transaction, but there is no maximum limit.
• Traders get more favorable conditions on commissions. The higher the transaction amount, the lower the commission.

Users of EXMO cryptocurrency exchange have an opportunity to earn passive income with the help of staking. Its conditions resemble a standard bank deposit, but with the involvement of cryptocurrencies. The algorithm is as follows:

• The client of the exchange transfers a certain amount of his funds to the stacking. Such coins as EXM, ATOM, DOT, XTZ, ADA, TRX can be used. These are the coins that work on the PoS algorithm and its variations.
• At the end of the contract term, the user receives this amount back together with the accrued remuneration. Such earnings on EXMO range from 4.5% to 17% per annum.

Additionally, you can purchase steaking packages. They are available to those who keep a certain amount of EXM on their balance. Such offers allow you to increase your annual rate.

Another way to get passive income is a referral program. Its conditions do not differ from most other exchanges. If a trader wants to join such a program, he should register on the exchange website and request a referral link. Afterwards, he/she can post it on any resources with the purpose of attracting new clients to EXMO: it may be social networks, personal blogs or even messaging messages via messengers.

Only one link can be received and used, but the number of referrals is unlimited. The person who follows the link must register on the exchange and start trading. The profit of the participant of the referral program will be a certain percentage of the commission paid by his referral - 25% or 40% (when trading with the involvement of EXM) The period of receipt of such rewards is unlimited.
