TOPBTC Review
TOPBTC is a cryptocurrency exchange allegedly from Australia. The owner of the exchange is apparently a company named DABTC PTY LTD. If the letters DABTC rings a bell to you, it might be because of the previously major Chinese cryptocurrency exchange DABTC. According to information on DABTC’s website, the assets and activities of DABTC was transferred to TOPBTC following China’s ban on cryptocurrencies.
Most Australian cryptocurrency exchanges are members of the organization ADCA (Australian Digital Commerce Association), but TOPBTC is not. This is not a warning flag per se, but still worth noting.
We have not found any information that this exchange prohibits US-investors. However, most other Australian exchanges (e.g., CoinJar, Independent Reserve) prohibit US-investors. Accordingly, that US-investors might be prohibited is something that such investors should keep in mind.
TopBTC 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 TopBTC:
The trading view looks quite standard and does not in and of itself raise any concerns from us.
TOPBTC Fees
TOPBTC Trading fees
This particular trading platform 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% for both takers and makers. This is in line with industry average.
TOPBTC 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 The withdrawal fee is usually fixed (regardless of the amount of cryptocurrency units withdrawn), and varies from cryptocurrency to cryptocurrency. The global industry average withdrawal fee is arguably around 0.0008 BTC when you withdraw BTC, but we see more and more changes that have started charging 0.0005 BTC per withdrawal. 0.0005 BTC is thus establishing itself as the new industry average.
Here, at TopBTC, you only have to pay the network fees when withdrawing. These are the fees that miners receive to confirm transactions. Only charging network fees is competitive.
Deposit Methods
We have not been able to ascertain what deposit methods this exchange offers. When pressing the button “Deposit help” on the exchange’s website, you come to an empty white page. That is not very informative or helpful.
