Not very reliable. The most reliable broker is... Having a few accounts at different brokers that you could use - e.g. Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, etc.


I disagree, people like to dump on Coinbase but I think it is the undisputed leader when it comes to reliability and sound business practices. Kraken is so unreliable there were weeks at a time where I couldn’t login, ultimately closed my account. Binance has a legal liability problem from their genesis as a law flouting business.

US-law. Not everybody in the world is obligated to abide by US regulations.

>reliability and sound business practices

Sound business practices like charging extortionate fees, literally 5-10x more than the non-US exchanges? It's typical regulatory capture: Americans are forced to pay more because they have fewer options.


No, but Binance being a US based business is required to abide by us law. A basic Google search will tell you they are based in San Francisco.


I would submit any of them are fine. The important thing is not leaving your coins there, and transferring them to a private wallet ASAP.
