Crypto CEX Screener — Trust Score, Volume, Country Ranking

What does Crypto CEX Screener do?

Crypto CEX Screener ranks 100+ centralized cryptocurrency exchanges by CoinGecko trust score, 24h spot trading volume (BTC), and volume market share — and enriches every exchange record with 11 analytical fields covering regulatory compliance, wash trading risk, proof of reserves, fiat on-ramp quality, hack history, and more. It is the fastest way to compare Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, Kraken, and hundreds of smaller exchanges side by side in a single structured dataset. No API key required.

Why use Crypto CEX Screener?

• Comprehensive exchange comparison in one run: Instead of manually compiling data from multiple sources, get trust score, 24h volume in BTC, volume market share percentage, year established, and country of registration for every major centralized exchange in a single structured output — ready for analysis or dashboard display.
• Wash trading risk detection: The screener computes a wash_trading_risk score (low/medium/high) by comparing raw volume against CoinGecko's normalized volume figure — instantly flagging exchanges that may be inflating their reported trading volumes with wash trades or fee incentive programs.
• Regulatory compliance scoring: Each exchange receives a regulatory_compliance_score (0–100) based on country of registration, KYC/AML maturity inferred from trust score, and proof of reserves audit status — enabling compliance-aware exchange selection.
• Security due diligence built in: The hack_history_flag field marks exchanges that suffered major security incidents between 2022 and 2025, and proof_of_reserves_verified identifies the subset of exchanges with completed third-party audits — critical signals for custodial risk assessment.
• Fiat on-ramp and withdrawal speed data: The screener includes fiat_on_ramp_quality (0–100 score based on number of supported fiat currencies) and withdrawal_processing_time_hrs so you can optimize for user experience alongside trust and volume metrics.

How to use Crypto CEX Screener

1. Go to the Apify Store and find Crypto CEX Screener.

FAQ

Q: How is the CoinGecko trust score calculated? A: CoinGecko's trust score is a proprietary metric (1–10) that factors in exchange liquidity, web traffic analytics, API data quality, and the ratio of normalized to reported volume. It is not controlled by this Actor — we simply surface and enrich it.

Q: Are derivatives exchanges included? A: This Actor screens spot exchanges via the CoinGecko /exchanges endpoint. Derivatives-focused exchanges that also offer spot markets will appear in results; pure derivatives venues may not be included depending on CoinGecko's classification.

Q: Can I use this to track exchange market share over time? A: Yes. Schedule the Actor to run daily and store results in the Apify Dataset. The volume_market_share_pct field lets you build time-series charts of how market share shifts across Binance, Coinbase, OKX, and competitors.

Disclaimer: Exchange data is sourced from CoinGecko's public API and supplemented with static research data.
