Crypto broker checklist

  • Product type - Spot coins vs CFDs/derivatives. Different custody and risk.
  • Security & custody - Who holds keys? Insurance claims? 2FA mandatory.
  • Fees - Trading fees, spreads, deposit/withdrawal and network costs.
  • Liquidity & pairs - Major pairs (BTC/ETH) vs thin alts.
