Frequently asked questions
Which crypto exchange is best?
There is no single best exchange. Coinbase and Kraken are the strongest choices for US customers. Binance and Bybit lead on low fees for non-US customers. Match the exchange to your specific need.
Should I keep crypto on an exchange?
For active trading, yes. For long-term holdings, self-custody is standard practice. Every major exchange failure has involved customer funds held on the exchange.
