One trader.
Zero corporate bias.
RonOnCrypto started from frustration. After FTX collapsed in 2022, I realized almost every "top exchange" list was sponsored. I wanted a source I'd actually trust — so I built it.

The mission is simple
Crypto derivatives are complex, high-risk, and increasingly dominated by platforms with opaque fee structures and dubious safety records. Most review sites rank exchanges based on affiliate commission size, not actual trading quality.
RonOnCrypto exists to give traders the information they actually need: objective fee comparisons, real liquidity assessments, honest security evaluations, and trading guides built on real experience — not theory.
If a review on this site earns an affiliate commission, it's clearly disclosed. The commission never influences the score. Several highly-paying affiliate programs receive low scores on this site because that's what the data shows.
No Paid Rankings
Exchange positions in our rankings are never for sale. Scores are calculated from objective criteria — not sponsorship deals.
Real Money Testing
Every exchange reviewed on this site has been funded with real capital. We don't write about platforms we haven't personally traded on.
Full Transparency
We disclose all affiliate relationships. If we earn a commission from an exchange, it's clearly labeled — and it never affects our scores.
Regularly Updated
Exchange conditions change fast. We update reviews when fee structures, features, or regulatory status changes — not just once a year.
How we got here
Started Trading Crypto Derivatives
Discovered BitMEX during the bear market and lost money learning the hard way. Built the discipline that would shape everything after.
Went Full-Time in Derivatives
Shifted from spot to perpetuals and options exclusively. Started documenting experiences across different exchanges in private notes.

After FTX collapsed, trusted information about exchange safety became scarce. Published the first public exchange review to help traders navigate safely.
