Our job is to help someone in St Kitts and Nevis, or someone abroad dealing with the islands, make a sound decision about crypto. That shapes how we test platforms and write every guide.
How exchanges are ranked
We start with a question many review sites skip: can a resident of St Kitts and Nevis actually use this exchange? We read each platform’s terms and restricted-country lists; if the Federation is excluded, the exchange is not ranked. We then look at how you can fund an account from the islands (card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, US-dollar SWIFT wires, peer-to-peer), the total cost of a typical purchase including card and withdrawal charges, the identity checks and limits that apply to new users, licences and registrations held abroad, whether the platform publishes proof of its reserves, coin selection with attention to the coins people here look for (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, USDT, Ethereum, XRP), and the quality of help-centre information.
Where an exchange has a direct link to the Federation, such as a company registered in Nevis, we say so, because it affects which terms apply to you. No crypto exchange is listed on a public register of virtual asset businesses in St Kitts and Nevis that we could find, so we never describe a platform as locally licensed.
Sources
We rely on primary sources: the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the Financial Services Regulatory Commission, the Citizenship by Investment Unit, the Inland Revenue Department, official government news, published legislation, and the exchanges’ own fee pages, terms and help centres. Reputable press and professional summaries (for example, the large accounting firms’ tax highlights) fill gaps, and we cite them as such. Every guide lists the sources it relied on at the bottom of the page.
Writing without dates that go stale
Crypto changes fast, so we avoid putting years in headlines or claiming something is “new” when it may not be next month. Historical facts carry their dates. Prices are never written into the text; converters on the site fetch live prices and, if that fails, show the last known price with its date.
Independence and links
Exchanges cannot pay to be included or to change their position. The site contains links to exchanges, including call-to-action buttons to our top-rated platform; all outbound links are marked nofollow. Editorial content is written before and independently of any commercial considerations.
Corrections
If you find an error, email support@saintkittsneviscrypto.com with the page address and, ideally, a source. We review every report and correct factual errors promptly.
