Title: Best Margin Trading Place for US traders?
Post by: water1111 on May 07, 2020, 11:35:43 PM
So far, I couldn't find any safe and legal place for margin trading besides Kraken.com

Is there any particular trustworthy place you could recommend?

Besides Kraken, there is Coinbase Pro, who reintroduced margin trading 3 months ago. It's limited to 3x leverage and if you don't have any account history with them, they will probably start you off at 2x. https://blog.coinbase.com/margin-trading-is-now-available-on-coinbase-pro-b22743a0e07b

Kumex (based in Singapore) allows US traders but they won't allow you to verify KYC. Unverified traders are limited to 5x leverage. This is a derivatives (perpetual swap and futures) exchange like Bitmex, not a spot exchange.

I am not quite sure whether it is used actively in the USA or under what conditions it can be used, but I can recommend the FTX platform. One of the biggest advantages of this service that I have used and was very pleased with is that it offers the opportunity to trade with USD, not USDT. Moreover, the leverage service they provide can be increased up to the rate of x101. I prefer to use the FTX exchange because of its fast trading opportunity, high leverage, fast money deposit and withdrawals, high leverage, high volume and ease of use, and I can recommend you to use it here. I would also like to let you know that I have no responsibility in case of a possible problem, I just advised on your request.

The platform you mention doesn't accept American citizens from what I see and it's exactly what the original post was asking, a place for traders in The US.
So all the pros and cons don't matter to him/her
