Aevo trades crypto derivatives and nothing else: no spot market, no staking, no lending, and no debit card for spending. If you want to buy and hold coins outright, or earn yield on them, Aevo does not do that. Options are limited to 1 coin, so choice there is thin. Funding works through crypto deposits only, with no bank transfer or card top-up. Aevo keeps no cold storage and publishes no proof of reserves, and there is no built-in two-factor authentication to protect your account, which may push a trader who wants those safeguards to look elsewhere.
What a replacement for Aevo should offer
Leverage up to 20x on perpetuals and futures covering 78 coins across 78 contracts gives Aevo a wide derivatives menu. Futures cost 0.05% to make and 0.08% to take, so a replacement worth considering should hold its fees near that. Identity checks are optional, which lets you trade without handing over documents, and wallet whitelisting lets you lock withdrawals to addresses you approve. If those matter to you, check that any replacement offers the same crypto-native, low-friction setup alongside its derivatives range.
How to move from Aevo to another exchange
Funds leave Aevo as crypto withdrawals only, so you will need a wallet on the right network to receive them. Identity checks are optional and withdrawal limits are unlimited at every level, so a large transfer is not capped. Before you pull money out, close any open futures or options positions, since margin tied up in those is not free to move until the position is settled. If you use wallet whitelisting, confirm the destination address is approved first. Have the receiving wallet ready and send a small test amount before the full balance.
How we pick
Venues from the same exchange class as Aevo (DEX) lead the list, followed by strong venues of other classes. Each block is ordered by CWR Score, which weighs live fee, security, regulation and feature data, the same figures shown on every card and in the table on this page. The list is also checked against your country: a venue that restricts your market is replaced by the next eligible one. We never reorder for commercial reasons.
