ASF-supervised investment firms are subject to ESMA leverage caps and investor compensation up to EUR 20,000 under the Romanian Investor Compensation Fund. International brokers typically serve Romanian clients via EU passporting from Cyprus, Germany, or the UK.

ASF is classified as a Tier 2 crypto regulator. Established AML/KYC and registration framework. Provides meaningful oversight, though with fewer investor protections than Tier 1.
We currently list 1 crypto exchange regulated or registered under ASF. The full list is shown above, sorted by overall rating.
ASF is based in Romania and covers the European Union jurisdiction. As a Tier 2 regulator, it requires AML/KYC registration and provides meaningful oversight, though investors should also verify whether the exchange holds additional licences.
Visit the official ASF website and use their public register or licence verification tool. Enter the exchange's registered name to confirm its current status. This is the most reliable way to verify regulatory standing.
ASF regulation primarily addresses licensing, AML/KYC compliance, and operational standards. Compensation for hacks depends on the exchange's own insurance fund or Proof of Reserves commitments, not typically a government-backed compensation scheme. Always choose exchanges with published cold storage ratios and Proof of Reserves attestations.
