Intokened crypto exchange ranking: 16 venues sorted by 24h volume

Our exchanges section is a crypto exchange ranking built on one number: spot trading volume over the last 24 hours. It lists 16 venues, from Binance to Gemini, and on 10 November together they turned over about $25 billion in a day. Derivatives do not count toward a venue's place.

The volumes come from CoinGecko and refresh once a day, and the page shows when the last update happened. Volume works as a measure of liquidity: on a busier venue a large order moves the price less, so you lose less to slippage.

Sorting and filters

By default the table runs from the highest volume down. You can switch the order to founding year, oldest first, or to alphabetical. Each exchange keeps its volume rank whatever order or filter you choose, so the number next to a name always means the same thing.

The filter panel narrows the list by:

• type of venue: centralised, P2P or decentralised;
• products: spot, futures, P2P, earn and staking, card, launchpad;
• a confirmed regulatory licence;
• founding year, from and to;
• minimum daily volume in millions of dollars.

Filters are saved in the page address, so you can send someone a link to the exact selection you made. Above the table a summary line shows the total volume, the number of venues and how many of them hold a licence.

Ready answers to common questions

Under the table a block of picks answers typical questions by applying a fixed rule to the data. One shows the licensed venue with the highest volume, another the oldest exchange still operating, and a third the largest P2P exchange for buying directly from other people. Picks for staking and for card deposits work the same way. We do not offer a pick for the lowest fees, because we hold no verified fee data for every venue.

What a licence mark means

Seven of the 16 venues carry a licence mark, which means registration or authorisation in at least one European jurisdiction. An empty cell means we have no confirmed data, and it does not say the venue works illegally. Check the rules for your own country before you open an account.

Inside each exchange profile

A click on a row opens the venue's profile, for example Kraken. It starts with a passport: volume rank, licence, products, number of coins and pairs, fiat deposits and the spot fee where we have it. Then come sections on regulation and availability, how to get started, our news that mention the exchange, reader reviews, frequent questions and similar venues.

“Paid row highlighting and the ad block have no effect on a venue’s number.”

Some links to exchanges are affiliate links, and the ad block always carries an Ad label. The venue it promotes stays in the table at its usual place. If you want crypto through a regulated broker rather than an exchange, the brokers section covers eToro, Interactive Brokers, Saxo Bank and Swissquote.

Volumes change every day, and the figures above reflect the update of 10 November 2026. A high rank reflects trading activity, not safety or suitability for you. Crypto trading carries a risk of losing money.
