UPDATE 23 March 2023: When trying to access the exchange function of RippleFox's website today, we were unsuccessful. We can enter the site, but we can't seem to find the place where cryptos can be swapped, purchased or sold. Neither Coinmarketcap.com or Coingecko.com has a RippleFox in their respective lists of crypto exchanges either.
Accordingly, we believe that this company has removed its crypto exchange function (even though the domain is still alive). We have therefore marked it as "dead" in our Exchange Graveyard. If the company's crypto exchange function would become accessible again, we will "revive" it and bring it back to our Exchange List.
To find a reliable exchange where you can start an account, just use our Exchange List and we'll help you find the right platform for you.
RippleFox Review
What is RippleFox?
RippleFox is a Chinese cryptocurrency exchange that launched on 1 May 2014. China was one of the leading countries in cryptocurrency exchanges up until when the Chinese government issued a ban on certain cryptocurrency services. Today, all of the previously bigger exchanges have closed shop in China.
Trading Volume
At RippleFox, you can only trade Ripple against Stellar. This exchange was once the only place you could do that. However, now the XLM/XRP-trading pair is available at Bitrue as well so the need for RippleFox is presumably quite limited. This is also shown by the fading trading volume at RippleFox. On the date of last updating this review (2 December 2021) the 24-hour trading volume was only USD 34,056, according to Coinmarketcap.

US-investors are not listed as prohibited from trading here. However, US-investors should do their own independent assessment of any problems arising from their residency or citizenship.
The Fox
Oh and by the way, here’s the fox in RippleFox:
RippleFox 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. At RippleFox, all of the fancy trading view features are removed and instead there’s just this:
Granted, this makes it easily understandable for new crypto investors, while it might lack some features that more experienced traders look for.
RippleFox Fees
RippleFox Trading fees
This trading venue doesn’t charge different fees between takers and makers. Their fee model is instead something called a “flat fee model”. Their flat fee is 0.20%. This fee level is roughly in line with the global industry average, possibly even a bit lower. Many people argue that the industry average is around 0.25%.
RippleFox Withdrawal fees
To our understanding (but we have not been able to completely verify this), RippleFox charges a withdrawal fee amounting to 0.20% when you withdraw cryptocurrencies (such as XRP). This is an unusual withdrawal fee model, but it is not unheard of. Most exchanges have a fixed withdrawal fee, regardless of the size of the withdrawn amount. With the fee model that this exchange has, when you withdraw small amounts, it is beneficial to you. If you withdraw XRP worth 0.01 BTC, the withdrawal fee becomes an equivalent of 0.00002 BTC (quite low). However, if you withdraw XRP worth 10 BTC, the withdrawal fee becomes the equivalent of 0.02 BTC (quite high). Please consider whether this withdrawal fee suits your own trading or not.
Deposit Methods
This trading platform offers wire transfer as a deposit method, but you can’t deposit via credit card.
