Our Story
Built by a Trader, for Every Trader
ChainFx was created because finding honest, unbiased information about crypto exchanges and forex brokers in India was genuinely difficult. We decided to fix that.
Our Mission
At ChainFx, we believe every retail investor - whether they are a college student in Jaipur making their first Bitcoin purchase or a seasoned trader in Dubai managing a multi-currency forex portfolio - deserves access to the same quality of information that institutional traders take for granted.
We publish independent, data-driven comparisons of 150+ crypto exchanges and 80+ forex brokers, with a primary focus on what matters most to Indian traders: FIU-IND registration status, UPI/INR deposit support, RBI-compliant trading pairs, TDS implications, and protection from exchange collapses. No sponsored rankings. No hidden affiliate bias. Just the numbers.

Our Editorial Independence
ChainFx earns revenue through display advertising and clearly disclosed affiliate partnerships. However, our editorial team operates independently of our commercial team. No exchange or broker can pay for a higher safety score, a more favorable review, or a "Recommended" badge. Our rankings are driven entirely by data and methodology, which we publish openly.
When we feature affiliate links, we mark them clearly. We only partner with platforms that we would genuinely recommend to a close friend - and we have turned down significant revenue from platforms whose practices we consider harmful to retail traders.
