Each page sets out published facts side by side and says what they mean for different kinds of user. No page here ranks platforms or scores them.
| N° | Subject | Type | Checked |

| 11 | Account limits belong to the level, not to you Limits attach to the verification level, not the account. Hitting one is rarely a problem with you. | Reference | 2026-08 |

| 20 | Crypto exchange insurance funds: four backstops, and what each one pays for SAFU, a futures insurance fund, a commercial crime policy and pass-through deposit insurance, read off the platforms' own pages: what triggers each one, who decides a payout, and where the ceiling sits. | Reference | 2026-10 |
