How to Compare Crypto Exchanges by Supported Assets
Asset lists change constantly. This guide shows how to use coverage lookups and exchange pages without treating a snapshot as a complete universe of tokens.
An asset list is a catalog, not a promise
“Supports BTC” can mean the token appears in a spot catalog, a derivatives index, a earn product, or a deposit screen. Exchange Market Radar treats an ASSET fact as: this venue’s collected catalog currently includes that asset id. It is not a statement that you can buy, custody, or withdraw it in your country.
Pair listings are separate. Use EUR markets when the question is a quote currency, and trading-pair lookup when the question is a specific market.
How to run the comparison
Figures below are catalog observations, not live prices, volumes, or a ranking.
This snapshot has 13,609 currently offered ASSET facts (delisted and unavailable catalog entries are kept as history but not counted). The lookup at which exchanges support BTC marks each venue as known, unknown, or not monitored. Unknown is not a delisting notice; not monitored means that venue has no asset facts in the snapshot at all. A venue that still lists a delisted asset shows its status in the table and is not counted.
Exchange pages list observed asset counts for the current collect. For example, Bitget currently shows 3,601 observed asset ids. Those counts are not market share.
Kraken publishes bitcoin and ether as XXBT and XETH. Asset lookup counts those codes as BTC and ETH, and says so on the Kraken row.
Keep the rest of the checklist in view
After you know who lists an asset, still check networks, pairs, and whether the radar even collects that venue. The workflow guide How to Compare Crypto Exchanges orders those lookups. Two named venues can then be opened on a comparison page if both have enough overlapping facts.
Questions this page answers
If an asset is unknown on an exchange page, is it delisted?
Unknown means the radar did not observe it in that venue’s current asset facts. The venue may still list it in a catalog the radar does not collect. Not monitored means that venue has no asset facts at all.
