Methodology
How this crypto-exchange list is built
DealSifu compares crypto trading actually available to Hong Kong retail investors: SFC-licensed virtual asset trading platforms (VATPs) and licensed brokers that route orders through a licensed VATP.
- Sources: Each platform’s official fee pages and help-centre articles, plus the SFC’s public list of licensed VATPs.
- Ranking: Default sorting uses the retail spot taker fee; you can re-sort by any column and filter by HKD/FPS funding, staking and retail availability.
- Caveat: Fees, supported tokens and onboarding rules change often; brokers are not directly VATP-licensed but deal via a licensed VATP. Some newer platforms publish little retail data and are flagged unverified.
- Freshness: Each platform links back to its stored source, and unconfirmed figures are clearly marked rather than guessed.
For information only — not investment advice. Fees, supported tokens and onboarding rules change often and some figures are unverified; always confirm on the platform before trading. Crypto is high-risk and you can lose your entire investment.
