RDAX Exchange Review

RDAX Crypto Exchange is a trading platform for blockchain assets specifically tailored for the high net worth retail trader. RDAX.io is a “Retail Digital Asset Exchange” allowing for easy transaction between Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, Ripple, EOS, Tron, STO’s and ICO’s

RDAX Exchange is a Maltese cryptocurrency exchange. Malta has recently grown big with respect to cryptocurrency exchange registrations. The country is – together with Estonia – the most crypto-friendly country in Europe with a clear licensing framework for cryptocurrency exchanges that wish to obtain an exchange license. Other cryptocurrency exchanges registered in Malta include Changelly, Graviex, Bleutrade, Coindeal and The Rock Trading.

There is not much information on the website of the exchange about the team or company behind the exchange. When looking at Crunchbase however, we find that there are two founders of the platform: Patrick Turner and someone with the initials D T. The exchange’s Crunchbase Profile is available here.

The platform is available in seven languages: English, Spanish, Dutch, German, Portuguese, Russian and Vietnamese.

System Health

RDAX Exchange also has a place on its website they call System Health. This shows the status of various cryptocurrencies on the platform (including how many confirmations that are required to process a transfer). This is how it is displayed on the site:

RDAX Exchange 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 cryptocurrency 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 ascertain that it feels right to you. The below is a picture of the trading view at RDAX Exchange:

US-investors

US-investors may trade at this exchange, but only “subject to completing KYC-procedures”. Any investors from the USA should still do their own independent assessment of any problems arising from their residency or citizenship. In a worst-case scenario, they may not be able to trade at one or several exchanges that would otherwise be the best choice for them.

RDAX Exchange Fees

RDAX Exchange Trading fees

Many exchanges charge what we call taker fees, from the takers, and what we call maker fees, from the makers. The main alternative to this is to simply charge “flat” fees. Flat fees mean that the exchange charges the taker and the maker the same fee.

This exchange is different in the way that it doesn’t separate between takers and makers. Rather, it separates between buyers and sellers. As you know, takers can be both buyers and sellers which is why this exchange’s solution is a bit different. The exchange charges buyers 0.01% and sellers 0.02%. These fees are extremely competitive. One might even think they sound too good to be true for a centralized exchange…

RDAX Exchange Withdrawal fees

Another fee to consider before choosing which exchange to trade at is the withdrawal fee. The withdrawal fee is usually fixed (regardless of the amount of the cryptocurrency units withdrawn), and varies from cryptocurrency to cryptocurrency.

The global industry average BTC-withdrawal fee is 0.000812 BTC. At RDAX Exchange, withdrawals are free. Even if the withdrawal fees are normally that big, we still really like RDAX Exchange’s offering here and we think it’s competitive and very consumer friendly.

Deposit Methods

RDAX Exchange does not accept any deposits of fiat currency. This means that the new cryptocurrency investors (i.e., the investors without any previous holdings of cryptocurrencies) can’t trade here. In order to purchase your first cryptocurrencies, you need a so called entry-level exchange, which is an exchange that also accepts deposits of fiat currency. Find one by using our Exchange Finder!
