5) I think that

wins the Most Improved award. Their technology, CS, and product have all grown a *ton* over the last few years; they're sometimes known for the long tail of coins they list, but their core products and VIP support are great.

6) @OKEx probably gets Comeback Exchange of the Year. They were in a bad place two years ago primarily because of a bad risk engine, but they've successfully revamped their derivatives after a year in hibernation and remain a behemoth in the space.

7) The best exchange no one's heard of might be

@gate_io

8) It's really hard to interact with the team at

@DeribitExchange

without it coming across that they're really good, smart guys trying to do right.

's core product isn't that complex, but it *just works*, and when you want a safe BTC/USD onramp/offramp that's what your'e looking for.

10) Everyone has opinions about

@BitMEXdotcom

, but I'll just say this: their team is smart and impressive, they built the right product at the right time, and they've been uncompromising and consistent in their execution.

11) I want to give a shoutout to some of the smaller regional exchanges that have been great to interact with:

and

come to mind.

12)

13)

is quietly doing a really good job in the institutional and stablecoin space

14)

knows their target audience and product, and wasted no time in going straight for that.

15) And finally,

@bitfinex

, in many ways the lightning rod of the crypto industry. Their team is badass, their product is great, and they care about each other, their exchange, and their customers in a way few players in the space do.

Yeah I think Kraken and Bitstamp were two omissions I prob should have mentioned. Both overall solid; Kraken is more ambitions, Bitstamp is more consistent.
