Crypto exchange reviews

Each review scores the same nine criteria, cites its sources, and says plainly who the exchange is wrong for.

• BBinance reviewIf you want the most liquid market and the widest set of products, Binance is still the default. It is the wrong first exchange for someone who just wants to buy their first $200 of bitcoin.8.5
• KKraken reviewThe exchange to use when the money matters more than the fee. If you are wiring five figures of fiat into crypto for the first time, this is the safest large venue with the fewest surprises.8.4
• OOKX reviewThe best pick if you move between centralised trading and on-chain activity, because the wallet and the exchange are the same account. Strong proof-of-reserves record.8.4
• ByBybit reviewThe strongest all-round derivatives venue for traders outside the US. How it handled the 2025 exploit — full coverage, no withdrawal freeze — is the reason its reputation survived it.8.3
• CCoinbase reviewThe right answer for a first purchase and the wrong answer for an active trading account. Buy here, move to a cheaper venue when your monthly volume makes the fee gap real.8.2
• BgBitget reviewPick Bitget if copy trading is the actual reason you are opening an account. As a general venue it is a step behind the top three on liquidity.7.9
• MMEXC reviewA second account, not a first one. Use it for early listings and cheap maker flow; do not use it as your main custody venue.7.5
• KuKuCoin reviewA reasonable mid-cap altcoin venue if you already understand the risk profile. There is no reason to choose it over OKX or Bybit as a primary account.7.4
