Our verdict

Bitcoin Romania is a custodial, centralised exchange run from Romania, suited to local traders who want a familiar home market rather than the widest coin list. Its taker fee of 0.25% is the lowest of the options compared here, while the coin list is short.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Trading since 2014 under BTR EXCHANGE S.R.L., so the operator is a named company rather than an anonymous site
  • Support runs on email, phone and community, giving both email and phone alongside a community space
  • A custodial centralised setup, so custodial and cex keep holding and trading in a single place

Cons

  • Ranks 124 of 176 brands on coins listed, so the range of coins is the weak side of the offer
  • Support runs on email, phone and community only, with no live chat among the channels, so quick chat answers are not promised
  • Custody is custodial, so custodial means the exchange holds the keys and the balance, not the trader

Who it suits

  • Traders in Romania who want a local exchange and a low taker fee on every trade
  • Anyone who prefers custodial holding and trading in a single place to running a self-custody wallet
  • Traders who need only a short list of major coins, and who value email and phone support

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone who wants to hold coins in their own wallet, since this exchange is custodial rather than self-custody
  • Readers who need live chat answers day or night, since support runs on email, phone and community only
  • Traders happy to pay more elsewhere for a different platform, where etoro charges 1% and vivid-plus charges 2.25%

How it compares on our data

On coins listed, Bitcoin Romania ranks 124 of 176 brands in our data, a long way down the table. On taker fee it sits at 66 of 121, closer to the front, so trading cost is the stronger side of the picture for this exchange and the range of coins the weaker one.

Frequently asked questions

What does it charge to trade?+

Trading costs a taker fee of 0.25% on a centralised exchange account. That puts it at 66 of 121 in our taker fee comparison, and close to the 0.25% median across the site, which makes trading cost the clearer side of its case.

How many coins can I buy?+

The exchange lists 30 coins, which is a short range rather than a long-tail market. It ranks 124 of 176 brands on coins listed, and the median across the comparison is 71.5, so most options here carry more.

Who holds my coins?+

The exchange does. Bitcoin Romania is custodial, with custodial holding and cex trading, so balances sit with the operator rather than in a wallet you control. Trading is straightforward for beginners, but the risk of loss sits with a single company.

Is it regulated and is my balance protected?+

No regulator or licence is named for the exchange, and no deposit protection scheme is stated, so a balance is held by the operator rather than by a protected scheme. The operator behind it is BTR EXCHANGE S.R.L., registered in Romania, and a Romanian registration is not the same as financial regulation.

How do I get help?+

Support runs on email, phone and community. Email and phone are both listed, which covers most questions, and a community space is offered for peer answers. Live chat is not among the channels, so anyone wanting round the clock chat would look elsewhere.

Who runs it and how long has it traded?+

It trades as BTR EXCHANGE S.R.L., a company based in Romania, and has been trading since 2014. A named legal entity and a long trading record make it easier to check than an anonymous exchange, though the company details are what a reader can rely on.

How does the fee compare with eToro, bunq and Vivid Plus?+

Its taker fee of 0.25% is lower than etoro at 1% and vivid-plus at 2.25%, and it sits at the low end of bunq's 0.25% to 1.99% range. On price alone it comes out ahead of the alternatives named here.
