The best brokers to buy your cryptos

The Big Whale has put together a comparison table to help you choose the crypto exchange platform that's right for you.

The informed investor should be wary of the fees displayed:

- When Crypto.com indicates 0% commission, the platform applies an undisclosed spread (rate differential) which is not to your advantage when trading. As a result, you often buy your cryptos at a higher price than the market price and sell them at a lower price. The "no fees" is only in appearance.

- We tested a purchase on Coinhouse and Bitpanda: despite lower theoretical fees, Bitpanda sent us slightly fewer bitcoins than Coinhouse.

Generally speaking, brokers that have not developed exchanges (Coinhouse, Deskoin, MT Pelerin, StackinSats, Swissborg) display fees that are easier for consumers to read, as they sell cryptos at the market price, plus their commission. Most of them are connected to the US exchange Kraken, one of the industry's benchmarks.

Bitpanda

Advantages : lots of cryptos, but also equities and commodities, regulated by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF).

Coinhouse

Drawbacks: average fees and no payment card (available in the next few months).

Crypto.com

Deskoin

MT Pelerin

StackinSats

Swissborg

Advantages: the best user experience in this comparison, very good returns on offer on your sleeping cryptos.

Drawbacks: not regulated in France.
