Things to watch

Lower governance score means extra regulatory due diligence is important
No exchange removes custody, phishing or market-loss risk

Risk reminder

No exchange — regulated or otherwise — eliminates market risk. Crypto prices can fall sharply, tokens can fail entirely, and leverage products can wipe out an account in minutes. Only invest amounts you are prepared to lose, enable 2FA, and verify the URL every time you log in.
