One of the original and most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges. They are headquartered in New York. Gemini works with both individual and instuitional investors, so their trading platform is very robust. Among exchanges, they are frontrunners in security and compliance. All USD accounts are insured by the FDIC. Our only gripe is that trading fees are a bit confusing and they favor high volume traders. But their fees are very competitive when compared to other fiat to crypto exchanges.

Based in Malta. They are one of the largest and most popular cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. Binance offers an advanced trading and charting platform. They supports a large and growing number of coins, all of which have high liquidity. Binance is a wonderful trading platform.

Kraken is one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges and one of the few that allow users to deposit fiat money into their account. Most crypto brokers charge high commissions and fees for this service, but Kraken does not. We really like their platform and their choice of coins.

A worldwide exchange with a huge selection of coins to purchase with a debit or credit card. They charge around a 15% premium for simplified buying platform, which may be the highest in the industry. Their trading platform offers better deals with a 3% commission fee, but it’s a little buggy. We’ve listed them only because of the sheer number of altcoins offered.

Beginner friendly and once of the easiest exchanges to buy cryptocurrencies with Us Dollars, Euros, Pounds or Rubles while also offering a good trading platform more more advanced users. We love the clean layout and ease of use. The have a solid security record as well.
