The short answer, if you have no time to read
For hryvnia, use 
Binance: it has the largest offer market, which is exactly why the gap between its buy and sell prices is tightest. To buy coins directly for hryvnia, with no USDT in between, 
WhiteBIT is the only option. To move coins between exchanges, 
HTX withdraws USDT for 0.001 — the lowest figure in this review.
And this is where it gets interesting, because "best exchange" means nothing until you say what for.
Who leads each category — and by how much
The biggest UAH ad market plus nearly everything else in one app.
A tight pack: five exchanges have 994–1,071 contracts.
If you need an unusual route out, this is likely where it works.
Three of fifteen charge nothing for USDT withdrawals on their cheapest network.
Buy coins for UAH in one trade, without USDT in between.
Puffit data as of October 31, 2026
The gap between the leaders and the rest is not the same everywhere. On some measures the venues run neck and neck, on others they differ several times over — and that is what decides which one suits you.

How we ranked them
There is not a single eyeballed score here. Every number comes from our own collectors, straight from the exchanges, refreshed every few minutes: how many pairs a venue lists, how many perpetual contracts, whether hryvnia is in its P2P, how many networks it supports for USDT and what a withdrawal costs.
The order comes from four things: whether hryvnia goes in directly, what it costs to move a coin out, listing breadth and futures depth. The first two weigh more: without a local-currency entry the exchange starts, for you, on somebody else's platform, and the withdrawal fee eats a route faster than any trading fee. The gap between 0.001 and 1 USDT is a thousandfold.
What a USDT withdrawal costs — and what it adds up to in a year
And one note about hryvnia P2P, without which the table reads wrong.
What sets the venues apart
Numbers show size, not character. Every exchange has the one thing people come to it for: a hryvnia entry with no middleman at one, bots without a line of code at another, the cheapest transfer network at a third.
What sets each exchange apart
The most sellers — hence the narrowest UAH buy/sell gap.
One trade instead of two: two fees round trip instead of four. Plus 92 EUR pairs.
Some networks are free to use — Berachain, for example.
Buy on spot → send to your non-custodial wallet → swap on a DEX, all in one window.
BTT network. A handy transit point: deposit, transfer cheaply, move on.
The most in the review: take coins out by unusual routes.
A resting limit order costs nothing — it changes the math for limit traders.
A full derivatives set, including instruments rarely found elsewhere.
One of the best on the market — futures will be a pleasure to learn here.
The review’s record: if a coin trades anywhere, it’s likely here.
Grid, DCA and arbitrage bots set up with a mouse — no third-party services, subscriptions or API keys.
Exact funding time per contract — literally money for delta-neutral setups.
994 contracts with modest spot and strong copy trading.
New coins often land here before the big platforms. About fifty currencies in P2P.
Futures, options, Earn, token launches and a payment card.
New coins appear early — with staking for them.
Send to another user with a code — instant and free. WBT is one of the strongest exchange tokens.
Besides discounts — daily payouts from part of the platform’s fee income.
Open trader stats: not just returns, but drawdown and track record too.
Addresses are visible on-chain, and per-pair fees are published in the directory.
Twelve years of continuous operation and regular Merkle-tree reserve proofs.
One of the oldest platforms in the review.
About 700 USD pairs, bank deposits and withdrawals. Awkward for Ukraine, a different story with an EU or US account.
A team from bank derivatives trading: a tidy coin set and a snappy terminal. No UAH in P2P.
And the things people usually learn from their own mistakes.
Five tips that save money
- 1Look at pair volume, not just price
On a wide listing the table shows the best price, not how much you can fill at it. A thin book turns a great rate into an illusion.

Three tasks — three exchanges
The largest ad market — hence the narrowest gap between buy and sell prices.
There’s simply no alternative: the only platform in the review with direct UAH pairs.
A good transit point: deposit, transfer cheaply, move on.
Putting a set together
One exchange for every job is unnecessary and even harmful: keeping everything in one place costs more than it seems. The working setup is two or three venues with different roles.
The most common working setup
