Riv Digital review

Trading costs a taker fee of 2.4% to 4.9%, well above the 0.2% typical of the exchanges compared here. There is no separate withdrawal charge, because network gas and bank costs already sit inside the markup.

The exchange is authorised in IT by CONSOB (Commissione Nazionale per le Societa e la Borsa) and Commissione Nazionale per le Societa e la Borsa (CONSOB), and the legal entity behind the platform is RIV-DIGITAL S.R.L.. Its crypto-asset service licence is listed as MiCA CASP 815600DCB0E8882D2314, so it sits inside Italian supervision rather than outside it.

Funding runs through sepa, so euro transfers are the way in. Withdrawals carry no separate charge: network gas fees and the SEPA or SEPA Instant bank cost are already built into the markup.

The exchange lists 1 coin, which places it at 168 of 176 brands on coins listed and well under the 74.5 median for exchanges here. Expect a short list rather than a broad one.

Custody is the point: self custody means the exchange is not the sole holder. Even so, the median retail loss across the site is 70.15%, so a single-asset position can still move against you quickly.

It is a centralised exchange, as cex shows, and derivatives are not offered, so spot is the only market to trade. That keeps the account simple, with no way to hedge or go short.

Support runs on email, phone and community, so email, phone and a community space are listed as the ways to reach the provider. Email and phone cover account questions, while the community channel handles general questions from users.
