triv review

Trading costs depend on which side of the book you take. Taker fees run 0.3% to 3.5% and maker fees sit at 0.1%, so an order that removes liquidity costs more than one that adds it. The spread is wide, so frequent traders should check the upper end of the taker range.

Triv appears on Bappebti (crypto asset trader supervision) and Kominfo (PSE registration) as a crypto asset trader supervised by Bappebti and as a PSE with Kominfo, licence 2078. The operating company is PT Tiga Inti Utama (AHU-2451049). Both registrations are Indonesian, so a UK or European customer is regulated outside their own market.

Fiat deposits come through bank in Indonesia, so the account is funded from a local bank rather than a card or a SEPA transfer. That suits an Indonesian account holder with a bank account open. Anyone funding from the UK or Europe needs another route.

Triv lists 700 coins, which places it at 17 on coins listed out of 176 brands rated. The category median stands at 74.5, so the list sits well above what is typical in this group.

Bitcoin withdrawals carry Bitcoin network transaction fee borne by Triv, so moving Bitcoin out is not billed as an extra platform charge on top of the trade fee you already paid. The listed fee is for Bitcoin, so plan a different coin with that network cost in mind.

Coins sit in a custodial setup: custodial and staking shows the account is custodial and supports staking. The exchange holds the keys, and staking runs inside the account rather than in a wallet you control. Anyone who wants their own keys needs a different kind of account.

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so email, chat, phone and the help centre are all listed. Phone contact is the one that stands out, with only 24.9% of exchanges in the category offering it.

Trading carries the usual market risk. Across the providers tracked, retail losses run from 65.75% to 74.5%, with 70.15% at the midpoint. Derivatives are offered on the account, and that is where losses tend to grow.
