Time to stop ignoring Crypto...which trading platform?

[zghorner]

I am convinced that cryptocurrencies will be a big part of our future. I got burned hard in 2017 so have shunned them ever since but at this point I cannot ignore it any longer.

Im not saying I am about to bet the farm on Ether or BTC lol just curious what ET would recommend as the most secure, user friendly interface, etc...platform for trading crypto.

thanks.

You can do it in your securities account. GBTC is only at a 2% premium to bitcoin. MSTR is at an 81% premium and looks stronger than bitcoin and has options.

i've used kraken, coinbase, poloniex, bitfinex, bittrex, among others in order of satisfaction

 

[unconventional wisdom]

i believe you can trade bitcoin futures on IB - probably not for the faint-hearted.

[caveat emptor as I'm biased as I hold the VGX token]

Try the Voyager app. It's a broker and also the crypto digital assets may earn interest so it's like a crypto digital assets bank!

coinbase for US is the best. Plus they have the option of you buying weekly,monthly and just invest across the market.

There are some 3rd party platforms that let you trade Cryptos and stocks such as Motivewave and MedvedTrader. For example, you can link a Binance account to these platforms and trade from there.
Bitfinex is good as well
