Binance
The most famous crypto trading/exchange platform with the highest daily trading volume.
The key player in the market branding, trading, and ecosystem wise.
Huge ecosystem of projects and investments (earn, travel, tax, etc.)
Cz the founder is well connected with states and national banks.
Already got major licenses in Dubai, USA, Italy, France and other states + expanding always
Personally we do see Binance as the best crypto currency exchange on the market.
Contra: future trading in some countries is not possible, some swift payout issues due to partner bank issues sometimes, bank license = reporting to tax customs

Coinbase
The major player in the space, worth over 1 billion $, stock listed and one of the most hyped up IPOS of the last years.
They have full banking licenses in the USA, Europe, and more markets
Their platform is known for an easy user interface, and simple but fast deposits and withdrawals.
Coinbase was and still is and most likely will be for a long time, one of the major players in the space, especially because they also offer big B2B offers like OTC deals and much more.
Contra: High transaction fee of 0.5% and not available in all countries, bank license = reporting to tax customs

Kucoin
Currently well known to list the new upcoming hidden champions/moonshots, many people do use it for crazy returns – but even more lose big time (always remember, if something is high rewards it usually also is high risk)
They are based in Hongkong & Seychelles (launched in 2017) with their Company and own token $KCS
More than 400+ Crypto pairs tradable and easy Fiat deposit/withdrawal options
Internal ecosystem (Staking with 12% APY, mobile app, affiliate program) Join KuCoin

Gemini

One of the biggest players, especially considering the USA market with crypto exchanges and custody services and licenses
They are also famous for their stable coin staking options which do earn you a decent 8% APY

Bitfinex
According to some past acquisitions they are connected with USDT and a major player in the space for years already (Founded in 2012), and it is currently based in the BVI (British virgin islands) while being the #8 biggest crypto exchange rated by volume at the day of writing
They originally started as a P2P provider and already had to deal with many legal troubles in the past, especially in the USA.
Contra: Much legal trouble in past, affiliation with USDT (which many assume/say it is not fully backed but let’s see, with the new US stable coin law all stable coin providers need to show their reserves and it will show if this long thought fear had any reason or not)
