Which exchange is best for Cryptocurrency?

I have dealt with all of the above cryptocurrency exchanges in the past and will continue to deal. My criteria for judging which is the better cryptocurrency exchange is follows:

  • Ease of use
  • Required documentation and KYC (Know Your Customer)
  • Buying, selling, trading fees
  • Regulated = YES

Which is the cheapest cryptocurrency exchange?

In my experience, Binance and Kraken are the cheapest cryptocurrency exchange when it comes to fees. However, you must also pay attention to the exchange rates that are applied when you transfer from AED, SAR to USD, EUR.


Is Coinbase crypto exchange available in UAE or the Middle East?

Coinbase is perhaps the most well-known cryptocurrency exchange in the world. Unfortunately, for UAE and Middle East users, Coinbase is still not available to buy and trade. However, Coinbase provides wallet services that you can utilize.
