Which one for which job
An overall score decides little: the two exchanges win on different axes. Here is which ones, with the number next to each.
Access and verification
These terms change more often than the numbers above: every fact carries a check date and a source link.
| Criteria | Aster | Bitget |
|---|---|---|
| Users from Russia | Barred by terms | Works |
| Verification (KYC) | Not required | Required |
| RUB top-up via P2P | No | Yes |
| RUB card top-up | No | — |
The platform terms list Russia and Ukraine among the prohibited jurisdictions. Complying with the terms is the user's own responsibility.
A non-custodial venue: you connect a wallet, and there is no identity verification step.
The platform accepts registrations from Russia and its RUB P2P desk works.
Since 1 January 2024 Level 1 verification is mandatory for deposits, trading, withdrawals and P2P.
This is not legal advice. Exchanges change their rules without notice — check the terms on the platform itself before funding an account.

A change means the value moved between samples, not the sample itself: polling records the rate regularly, and without that collapse "changes" would simply equal the number of readings.
