Exchanges
Eight venues, ordered by published entry cost
The order is the entry taker fee, or the high end of the spread when that is all the venue publishes. Robinhood's figure is exchange routing, not the default no-commission route.
| Rank | Venue | Entry cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Binance.US | 0.00% maker / 0.02% taker | US customers in a licensed state who will use Advanced spot orders and want the lowest published entry taker fee in this set. |
| 02 | Bitstamp | 0.30% maker / 0.40% taker | People who want a long-running order-book exchange and a published entry fee below Coinbase Advanced and Kraken Pro. |
| 03 | Crypto.com | 0.25% maker / 0.50% taker | People who can use the Crypto.com Exchange and will compare the order-book schedule, not the app's instant quote. |
| 04 | Kraken | 0.40% maker / 0.80% taker | People who will trade on Kraken Pro and want a published volume schedule. |
| 05 | Coinbase | 0.50% maker / 0.90% taker | People in the US who want a large, regulated venue and will use Advanced when the simple quote looks expensive. |
| 06 | Robinhood Crypto | 0.50% maker / 0.95% taker, exchange routing | US customers who already use Robinhood and understand that 'no commission' on the default route is not the same as a zero spread. |
| 07 | Gemini | 0.60% maker / 1.20% taker | US customers who want a New York trust-company exchange and will use ActiveTrader for the published rate. |
| 08 | Uphold | Spread, high end 2.20% | People who want one preview price across crypto, currencies, and metals, and who will accept a spread instead of an order book. |
