Final Thoughts

For a small cryptocurrency exchange that has been in existence for the last five years, Exmo has achieved a lot. Not only has the cryptocurrency exchange been ranked as the Top Cryptocurrency Exchange in Europe but also it’s among the Top 10 World Best Exchanges according to bitcoinity.org.

Today, it attracts more than 200,000 visitors on a daily basis with an additional 10,000 registering new accounts to exchange cryptocurrencies for fiat currency and vice versa.

The Exchange has a few draw backs.

Second, the Exchange itself does not offer more options – cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies alike. Lastly, some charges are high and may drive away new visitors.

Overall, Exmo is a cryptocurrency exchange with a great support system and the opportunity to offer more.
