Ive used ChangeNOW Godex and SimpleSwap in the past few years but lately things dont seem right. More slippage unclear fee breakdowns and strange delays even though the sites say exchanges will happen instantly. I just tried to trade BTC for USDC and I got a lot less than I thought I would even after paying the network fees. Is it just the market going up and down or are these platforms getting harder to understand?
Has anyone else seen this pattern? Or am I just bad at timing?
What are your favorite swap services that are still quick and dependable in the middle of 2025? Are there any hidden gems that no one is talking about yet?
As others have suggested, you need to avoid ChangeNOW. I don't used this platform but as you have said, there could be a lot of slippage right now that it become a bad experienced for newbies trying this services.
I can't recommend you any swap services though, as the one that I might give you might not work out with you. Although there are a lot of them in the crypto space, competitive are tough. But I will suggest that at least try some of them that you will fit your need and then stay with them.
Best of luck to you.
