So what is your favorite crypto exchange for trading in 2019?🔥🔥🔥🚀🚀🚀

[ArmyJune]

So this is a consolidated list of best crypto exchanges, regarding user reviews, user-friendliness, accessibility, fees, and security. Since the list is published on Altcoin Magazine, I'd like to share with you guys. Hope it helps.
BTW, what is your favorite crypto exchange so far?


HB DEX

HB DEX is a 100% decentralized exchange, which operates entirely on HB Wallet Desktop Application. The exchange is developed by Bacoor.Co — a multinational technology firm headquartered in Malaysia.

HB DEX supports up to 9 languages. Since it is wholeheartedly decentralized, the exchange is in the minority of exchanges that allow users to access their specific functions without any geographical restrictions.

Unlike most exchanges, HB DEX requires no personal data. Buyers and sellers can trade their crypto assets directly and comfortably with each other while remaining completely anonymous on the exchange.

Instead of depending on a central server to approve your transaction, all transactions on HB DEX are conducted directly on the Ethereum blockchain-based on Smart Contracts. Smart Contracts are computing protocols running on top of a blockchain, containing an encrypted set of rules between permitted users. Smart Contracts secure the flow of funds and render transactions traceable, transparent, and irreversible. It’s virtually impossible for hackers to manipulate your transactions unless they compromise one of the two parties successfully.

HB DEX covers most comprehensive functionalities that centralized models lack of, offering a seamless trading experience. The trading process is faster, less expensive, and more secure than any web-based exchanges and wallets. HB DEX supports real-time trading with ETH for any cryptocurrencies under the form of ERC-20 tokens and vice versa.

It’s important to keep in mind that ETH does not follow the ERC-20 standard, so you cannot directly exchange them for other ERC-20 tokens and backwards. Because of this, HB DEX enables users to convert ETH to WETH (an ERC-20 token) and WETH to ETH efficiently. Since ETH is tokenized via WETH, the values of ETH and WETH are equivalent.

With HB DEX, you can also list any tokens on ERC-20 or ERC-223 that you prefer, buy ICO, receive airdrops and manage your own tokens directly.
HB Wallet has partnered with Simplex, allowing users to buy cryptocurrency via Credit or Debit Cards provided by Visa, Master Card, JCB, or American Express. You can purchase not only Ethereum (ETH), but also Bitcoin (BTC) and Ripple (XRP). The purchasing process should take no longer than 10 minutes. All your filled in information will be kept securely and confidentially by Simplex for KYC purposes only. However, your identification still remains perfectly anonymous on HB DEX, so don’t worry.

HB DEX is also associated with HB Wallet mobile app available on iOS and Android, allowing users to sync their wallets into HB Wallet and monitor their assets from mobile devices. HB Wallet is considered the best Ethereum Wallet in Japan in 2019. Most importantly, HB DEX is 100% free, the only fee you have to pay is the Gas Fee of the Ethereum network.

HB DEX is also associated with HB Wallet mobile app available on iOS and Android.


Binance

Binance is one of the best options to conduct crypto-to-crypto trading. The Malta-based exchange provides impressive offerings along with very low trading fees. Binance offers its own coin known as Binancecoin (BNB).

Joining this centralized exchange, you can get decent discounts while trading with BNB. Binance offers a standard trading fee of 0.1% and can be lower if the payment is conducted with its tokens.

Binance offers a mobile app for iOS and Android with a user-friendly interface. The registration process is moderately fast and simple.

The exchange supports over 130 cryptocurrencies with a huge selection of altcoins!

However, payment options in Binance are limited. There’s also no fiat trading. The security architecture of centralized exchange models like Binance is also a factor you should consider. Since all user funds are gathered in only a single central point, they are usually targeted by potential hackers.



Coinbase

Coinbase is one of the most well-known brokers and trading platforms in the crypto space. It obtains a greatly high number of users and is backed by trusted global investors.

Coinbase allows you to deposit and withdraw funds easily. The platform offers competitive fees and advance trading functions. You can buy Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin from Coinbase through a digital wallet compatible with Android or iOS, or via trading with other users on GDAX (the company’s Global Digital Asset Exchange).

GDAX currently operates in the US, Canada, Europe, UK, Australia, and Singapore. At the moment, this exchange does not charge any transfer fees for moving funds between your Coinbase account and GDAX account.

However, the selection of tradable currencies will depend on the country you live in. GDAX is suitable for technical traders only since its user interface is quite complex.
Like Binance, payment options in Coinbase are limited. The platform only supports certain countries.


KuCoin

Launched in 2017 in Hong Kong, KuCoin is already one of the most popular cryptocurrency exchange platforms. KuCoin also offers a mobile app for iOS and Android.

The exchange supports several coins including KCS (its own digital coin), DragonChain and more. Overall it’s a great platform to buy alt-coins, even under the radar coins that can be hard to find. Additionally, comparative fees in KuCoin specifically benefit high-volume traders.

The user interface is clean, simple and friendly. KuCoin also offers a mobile platform. The registration process is straightforward and requires KYC verification.
KuCoin is growing quite rapidly, and it’s expected to make headlines.

However, there are things you need to consider before using this cryptocurrency exchange. While KuCoin offers reasonable rates and fees for trading some cryptocurrencies, others are insanely expensive. Thus, there have been a few reports online that KuCoin has had a hard time handling the new amount of volume it’s been given. Good news is, KuCoin Team is actively investing in solving the issue.



BitMex

BitMex, short for “Bitcoin Mercantile Exchange”, is a popular and high-volume cryptocurrency exchange for investors to interact with global financial markets, mostly using bitcoin. It also supports altcoins such as Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Cardano, and Bitcoin Cash among others.

The registration process is quite simple since you only need to create an account using email address, password, country of residence and your name (optional). BitMEX does not charge fees for deposits or withdrawals occurring on the exchange. When trading on BitMEX, there are fees associated with each transaction, depending on position (buyer/seller), funding rate and contract type.

Currently, all traditional futures contracts acquire a 0.0500% settlement fee on any open position at the time of settlement, with the exception of XTZ (Tezos Series) and ZEC (Zcash Series), which require a 0.2500% settlement fee. The settlement fee is also 0.2500% for prediction markets.

However, it’s a disadvantage that BitMEX is not available in every country, and may not be accessible to some certain regions. Although BitMEX is a leader in Bitcoin trading volume, most other offerings maintain relatively low levels of liquidity. This makes trading some available altcoin assets may be impractical. Even though its user interface is good, BitMex is allegedly not an ideal place for beginners since most of its users are professional traders. There are also reports about network latency from automated trading bots front-running orders. Unlike the aforementioned exchanges, BitMex does not provide any mobile application at present.

Interesting, this is my first time of hearing about HbDex. Well of the once u listed binance remains my most loved by a long short motly because of the numerous opportunities it offers, airdrop, high liquidity, constant implementation of new trade systems e.t.c Its actually sad that US users will be leaving the platform soon but i believe CZ has many trick off his sleeve to keep binance far above all other exchange by a long margin.

[jorenpo]

kucoin and binance is my favorite one. easy to use, fast confirmation of withdrawal and deposits. lots of 2fa security. also most of my token are listed there so..

Yeah it's a huge disadvantage that Binance is banned in US but I've heard that they offer another exchange for US users only.

[ethereumhunter]

This year, I often to use binance as I want to see my chance to make a profit in that site. I read many good reviews for binance, and that makes me curious, and gladly, I already have the account since the last year. Besides of binance, I also try to trade in kucoin, but I still prefer to trade in binance.

The other exchanges which I don't see it in the list are bittrex and poloniex because I still have some money on that site and I only wait for my coin to increase so I can sell it right away.

I am not too often to trade in the bitmex because I don't have more skills to use leverage trading, so I add bitmex in the last exchanges that I used to trade.

As a bounty hunter you cannot have a favorite exchange
You can trade anywhere your earned tokens are listed

Just as I always believe; in crypto currency; all centralized or decentralized exchanges are one problem away from a big crisis

Just as cryptopia and such exited exchanges; learn to keep your assets on cold storage

I see. Btw do you know what cryptocurrencies that have much higher trading fees than others in KuCoin, according to this article?

[rowenta01]

You can add Qtrade which is an excellent exchange for lowcap. It's an exchange that will soon be recognized ..

Tradeogre should also be quoted. While it is not the most secure but it is part of the exchanges, with STEX where it is possible to buy the best lowcap crypto ..

HB DEX is one of my favorite dexs since I'd prefer trading on decentralized platforms, so I'm not surprised that it is listed here. About Binance I'm sure CZ will have solutions for this. However it seems like their Binance.us will act more strictly on KYC registration.

Thanks for ur recommendation. It would be great to make a long thread about these crypto exchanges!

until now I still faithfully use the Binance and Kucoin exchanges because they offer good features and I feel comfortable there. On the other hand shipping costs are also low. they are large trades and many traders do transactions / trade there. I just heard HB DEX next time I will stop by there, thanks for the explanation.

Thanks for the advice. Yes I've also been advised to not keep all my coins on one single wallet only.

No biggie friend. Yes HB DEX is good, definitely deserves more recognition.

[Peterdav]

I have use many exchange in this year like Digifinex, BitForex and many more but no one of the exchange can beat Binance. For me Binance is the best exchange platform, the interface is good, user friendly, safest and high volume thransaction.

[benthach]

bittrex.com never have a hiccup seen started, it's solid while others are falling.
the theme of the site fall flat and the reason many people don't feel it.

[ArmyJune]

I have tried to research from the many exchanges that exist today, and I tried more in detail. but it turns out binance has become one of the best exchanges in my opinion, so I currently only focus on binance for trading.

Binance is popular indeed. But I want to give DEXs a try since the US ban on Binance really worries me about centralized models. I hope DEXs will have their transaction volumes significantly increase soon to attract more users.

[nabilapimpo]

Trading becomes my side job. And more time I spent on Bounty campaigns. So for the exchange that I like is Binance because it has a great trading volume.

But as a bounty hunter, I also trade on all of the exchanges listed projects that I follow. The gate is a good exchange, I have a project that has good trading volumes, such as GMAT.

[Red-Apple]

Binance used to be my favorite altcoin exchange because they started off very well and were offering such nice things. but the more their business grew the worse they got. specially ever since their greed and control over the altcoin market grew and they even created their own centralized coin to make even more money out of thin air.
nowadays i am looking for an alternative.

[dearbesz1219]

HB Dex is created by Huobi exchange? Or it's just a name match?
I wouldn't be surprised since Huobi copied all Binance steps.

[Bagani]

Of course Binance, I dont think that might change in 2020 as well. Even though Binance got hacked, the team shows how they handle this kinds of accidents. They have safu funds to cover all the stolen funds and the best thing about the exchange is that they have a high liquidity for traders.
