7 Signs a Crypto Exchange May Be Fake

A professional-looking website is not proof that an exchange is legitimate. Fake platforms often copy common dashboards, market charts, and security badges.

Be cautious when a platform requires tax, verification, or unlock fees before allowing a withdrawal. Genuine providers may have compliance checks, but advance payment demands are a common fraud pattern.

Verify the company independently. Check registration claims, domain age, support channels, and whether the platform is cited by trusted regulatory or consumer-protection sources.
