Coinbase

The most trusted name in crypto for beginners. Publicly traded on NASDAQ, fully regulated in the US, and packed with educational tools â€” though fees are higher than rivals unless you use Advanced Trade.

Spot Fee

0.40% (Advanced) / 1.49% (Simple)

Kraken

One of the oldest and most respected exchanges, with an exceptional security track record and strong fiat support. A favourite for serious traders who value reliability over hype.
