Editorial review

Finst is the youngest Dutch crypto exchange (founded 2020), positioning itself as the lowest-cost option with a flat 0.15% trading fee. AFM-licensed (nr. 41000015), it offers 340+ cryptocurrencies, iDEAL deposits, and staking.

Suitable for frequent Dutch crypto traders wanting a regulated, low-cost platform. The flat 0.15% fee beats Bitvavo's standard 0.25% for users who don't hit higher-volume tiers.

Limitations: shorter track record than established competitors, no margin or futures, limited customer support channels. For long-term holders with large volumes, Bitvavo's tiered fees can be lower. Crypto investing carries significant risk.
