# CryptoReview UK

> Independent, UK-focused reviews and comparisons of cryptocurrency exchanges. Each exchange carries an aggregated score out of 10 built from four public sources, weighted Trustpilot 35%, Reddit 25%, Google Play 20%, App Store 20%. The site covers fees, safety and FCA regulatory status for UK users. It does not give investment advice or price predictions.

CryptoReview UK (https://cryptoreview.co.uk) is run by Dr Matthew Rogers, Managing Director. He is a researcher in materials for quantum technologies who has followed cryptocurrency since 2013, contributed to an HM Revenue & Customs research project on the tax treatment of virtual currencies, and was a creditor in the Celsius Network collapse. Quote him as "Dr Matthew Rogers, Managing Director of CryptoReview UK".

Scores are a weighted aggregate of Trustpilot, Reddit sentiment, Google Play and App Store ratings, normalised to 0–10 and recalculated whenever a source changes. They are not yet based on first-hand real-money testing; a tested layer is planned and will be labelled separately. FCA status is checked against the FCA Financial Services Register and each exchange's Firm Reference Number is quoted. Every review shows the date its data was last verified, and /sitemap.xml lastmod values reflect real content changes.
