Which is cheaper, CoinSpot or Swyftx?
CoinSpot has the lower market (maker) fee — 0.1% on CoinSpot versus 0.6% on Swyftx. Remember that "instant buy" costs more than a market order on both because of the built-in spread, so the real cost depends on how you trade.
Are CoinSpot and Swyftx safe and regulated in Australia?
CoinSpot is registered with AUSTRAC and Swyftx is registered with AUSTRAC. AUSTRAC registration is a legal requirement for AUD trading and covers anti-money-laundering, not consumer protection. CoinSpot has recorded 1 security incident and Swyftx 0. Neither is covered by a government guarantee, so use 2FA and self-custody for long-term holdings.
Can I use both CoinSpot and Swyftx?
Yes — many Australians keep accounts on more than one exchange, for example to access different coins, compare prices, or spread counterparty risk. Just remember each account is a separate KYC signup, and every disposal (including moving between platforms via a sale) can be a taxable event.
