What is cryptocurrency, and what is a crypto exchange?
A crypto exchange is a digital transaction mechanism - essentially an online market - which allows you to buy and sell cryptocurrency.
The most well-known cryptocurrency is probably Bitcoin, currently valued at a whopping $29K as of May 2022, and entire industries have sprung up to help facilitate the use and exchange of crypto.
Crypto.com is a newer offering, founded in 2016, and yet supports the most cryptocurrencies of almost any crypto exchange in this review, with support for more than 180 cryptocurrencies, though not all of them appear on their buy/sell guide.
Coinbase is a well-regulated and popular crypto exchange with support for over 150 cryptocurrencies.
eToro is best for social investing, BitMart has the widest range of cryptocurrencies available, Cash App offers financial peer-to-peer transactions on top of excellent Bitcoin trading capabilities, Crypto.com has the strongest mobile app contender, Gemini provides the best security aspects and Coinbase is well-thought of as the easiest crypto exchange to learn.
