Exchange safety cannot be reduced to whether a platform has suffered a hack or earned a security certificate. Our methodology separates custody, financial backing, account protection, legal recourse and operational resilience so strength in one category cannot conceal weakness elsewhere.
The Coin Bureau Exchange Safety Score
The Coin Bureau Exchange Safety Score is a proprietary 100-point methodology based on documented controls, reserve and financial evidence, regulatory status, incident history and user protections.
| Safety Category | Weight |
|---|---|
| Custody and technical security | 20% |
| Solvency and reserve transparency | 20% |
| Account security | 15% |
| Regulation and legal recourse | 15% |
| Security history and incident response | 15% |
| Withdrawal and operational resilience | 10% |
| Insurance and protection mechanisms | 5% |
Custody and technical security cover private-key protection, cybersecurity architecture and controls around production infrastructure. Solvency covers reserves, liabilities and Proof of Reserves, while operational resilience considers withdrawals, outages and recovery following a security event. Insurance receives a smaller weighting because policy limits and exclusions can sharply narrow the protection customers actually receive.
An exchange cannot earn a high security score simply by collecting certifications or receiving a strong third-party rating. Weak regulatory compliance, incomplete liability evidence, serious unresolved security failures or poor withdrawal resilience can materially reduce the final score.
