Look for exchanges with cold storage, 2FA, insurance funds, and proven security track records. Regulated exchanges are preferred.
Compare maker/taker fees, withdrawal charges, and potential discounts with native tokens like BNB or OKB.
Higher trading volume means tighter spreads and less slippage on large trades — critical for HNI investors.
Verify the exchange is compliant in your jurisdiction. Check for KYC/AML policies and regulatory licenses.
Ensure the exchange lists the assets you want to trade, including altcoins and emerging tokens.
For large orders, check if the exchange offers an OTC (Over-The-Counter) desk to minimize price impact.
