The record, in four steps
Every core page on Oracl8 is built from the same record. These are the four steps behind each entry.
- Scan the register. Each exchange is matched to the public register it claims: the FinCEN MSB list, the FCA cryptoasset register, the MiCA CASP register, NYDFS, MAS, and national authorities such as AUSTRAC, VARA, the FSA in Japan and the SFC in Hong Kong. The regulator name is recorded only when the entry is found on the register.
- Cross-check the fee schedule. The maker and taker fee is read from the official fee page and logged as the standard retail tier, not a promotional rate. The combined round-trip cost is computed from that record so fee comparisons are like for like.
- Note custody and proof. Where an exchange publishes a proof-of-reserves attestation or a custody arrangement, that posture is flagged on the record. Absence is noted rather than assumed.
- Date it and re-scan. Every entry carries the date it was last checked. Registrations lapse and fees change, so the record is re-scanned on a schedule and a stale entry is corrected.
What Oracl8 does not do
Oracl8 does not publish a licence number it has not confirmed on the register. It does not sell ranking positions. It does not attribute the record to an invented analyst. It does not present a promotional fee as the standard rate. These limits exist because the site covers money, where a confident but wrong claim does more harm than a missing one.
Who is accountable
The record is maintained and verified by the Oracl8 verification system, which is the accountable publisher for every figure on the site. The authority of a ranking comes from the register and the fee schedule it cites, not from a named personality. Corrections can be raised through the contact page and are checked against the source before the record is changed.
Current coverage
The record currently tracks 125 crypto exchanges. Of these, 107 carry a confirmed regulator name and 125 have a logged fee schedule. Coverage grows as new exchanges are scanned and existing entries are re-checked. The last full pass was verified on 2026-09-16.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Oracl8 verify a crypto exchange?
Each exchange is matched to the public register it claims (FinCEN, FCA cryptoasset, MiCA, NYDFS, MAS and national authorities), its fee schedule is read from the official page, and every entry is dated and re-scanned. Only confirmed facts are recorded.
Does Oracl8 accept payment for a better ranking?
No. No exchange pays for a higher verdict. Outbound links may be commercial, but they never change the ranking, which is driven only by the verified record.
Why does Oracl8 not show licence numbers?
On a money-sensitive page a wrong number is worse than none. Oracl8 records the regulator name, confirms the entry on the register, and does not publish a licence number it has not verified.
Who writes and checks the record?
The record is maintained and verified by the Oracl8 verification system as the accountable publisher. It is not attributed to a named analyst, because the source of authority is the register and the fee schedule, not a personality.
How current is the data?
The current pass was verified on 2026-09-16. Registrations lapse and fees change, so the record is re-scanned on a schedule and each entry carries its own last-checked date.
