CoinFalcon Review

What is CoinFalcon?

CoinFalcon is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange from the UK that has been active since 2017.

CoinFalcon Advantages

They market the following three things as main advantages with its trading platform. The trading is instant, they have great transparency in their fees and they have secure storage (98% of all digital funds in offline storage – cold storage). These things are indeed very good and we understand why they promote them in particular on their website. The trading is even so instant that you can buy, sell and deposit with only three steps each.

Mobile Support

The platform is also available for mobile with the CoinFalcon 2.0 app, so you can trade on-the-go.

US-investors

The exchange does allow crypto trading (crypto fund transfers) for some US states. Since 2019, the exchange has been restricted operation in some states in the US. Bank transfers are allowed through TransferWise since SWIFT has been taken out of their payment options for users outside Europe.

CoinFalcon Trading View

Different exchanges have different trading views. And there is no “this overview is the best”-view. You should yourself determine which trading view that suits you the best. What the views normally have in common is that they all show the order book or at least part of the order book, a price chart of the chosen crypto and order history. They normally also have buy and sell-boxes. Before you choose an exchange, try to have a look at the trading view so that you can see that it feels right to you. The below is a picture of the trading view at CoinFalcon:

CoinFalcon Fees

CoinFalcon Trading fees

Every trade occurs between two parties: the maker, whose order exists on the order book prior to the trade, and the taker, who places the order that matches (or “takes”) the maker’s order. Makers make the liquidity in a market and takers remove this liquidity by matching makers’ orders with their own.

CoinFalcon’s fee for takers is 0.20%. 0.25% can be argued to be the industry average taker fees, so 0.20% is neither particularly low or particularly high. 

However, this exchange does not charge any fees for makers, thus promoting the liquidity at the exchange. This is a very strong part of CoinFalcon's offering and can be really helpful for people interested in not picking up existing orders from the orderbook.

CoinFalcon Withdrawal fees

CoinFalcon does not charge any withdrawal fees for SEPA bank transfers. However, when making a crypto withdrawal you still have to pay withdrawal fees, more specifically 0.0001 BTC per BTC-withdrawal. This fee is quite in line with the industry average, as the current global industry average is 0.00053 BTC per BTC-withdrawal according to this report.

Deposit Methods

CoinFalcon currently accepts three main deposit methods – Credit/Debit cards, SEPA bank transfers and Crypto funds transfers. This makes it easier for users to fund their accounts and obtain their chosen crypto assets. You can buy cryptocurrency instantly with MasterCard/Visa or though SEPA bank transfers which is currently available in 33 countries. The fact that CoinFalcon accepts fiat currency deposits at all also makes it an "entry-level exchange".
