Both of them are leading and popular crypto exchanges in the present times, facilitating from non experienced to veterans with a variety of options to trade. But which one to choose between them? There is always a conflict in the minds of crypto enthusiasts related to Binance Vs Coinbase. So, to offer more clarity in your choice, let us compare both the exchanges and also the way to switch from one exchange (in case you wanted to change from your present one!) to another.

Binance Vs Coinbase: Let Us Begin The Crypto War

 

Crypto War

 

Coinbase was founded by Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam in 2012. It is a crypto broker or broker exchange, which purchases cryptocurrency for its users, unlike crypto exchanges which brings sellers and buyers together. In 2017, it became the first exchange to be recognised as a financial unicorn, i.e. valuation of the company reaches more than 1 Billion US Dollars. While maintaining a good reputation in crypto space, Coinbase works in line with regulations and strict KYC/AML policies.

On the other hand, Binance was founded by Changpeng Zhao and Yi He in 2017. It is a crypto-to-crypto exchange, which brings sellers and buyers together on their platform. Binance raised almost $15 million for its Initial Coin Offering (ICO). Though it is relatively new in the crypto market, widespread among most of the traders as it offers a wide range of cryptocurrencies with less strict KYC norms.

Both of the exchanges have established their position in the crypto markets. It is obvious to have a crypto fight of Binance Vs Coinbase amongst crypto traders. Let us compare them:

  • Currency Services:

    Coinbase offers the facility to trade in fiat currencies from any of the 32 countries it allows their services. It provides trade only in four cryptocurrencies, BTC, BCH, ETH and LTC (12 trading pairs). Fiat trading is a plus point for exchange as the trader need not visit any other exchange for buying the coins initially.

    On the contrary, Binance offers crypto to crypto trading, so you need to buy coins from other exchanges first. But, it provides a wide range of coins (almost 300 pairs) to trade with along with newly released digital currencies.

    • Transaction Fees:

      Coinbase supports fiat to crypto trading, thereby fixed conversion price being charged as transaction fees. It varies between 1.49%-3.99% depending on the mode of payment and region in which trading is taking place.

      On the other hand, Binance extends the crypto to crypto trading, thereby providing an exchange rate for the currencies traded. It charges 0.1% fees on all trades and offers a 50% discount when buying with native coin BNB.So, which cryptocurrency exchange has the lowest fees? Crypto-to-crypto exchanges generally charge lower than fiat to crypto exchanges.

      • Trading Limits:

        Coinbase limits the trading based on fiat currencies and following various levels. For instance: Level 3 users can trade limitlessly, level 2 users have the limit of trading 25000 USD per day.

        Binance limits the trading on the worth of BTC involved. For instance, at level 1, users can trade up to a worth of 2BTC per day, while level 2 users can trade up to a worth of 100 BTC per 24 hours.

        • User-Friendly Interface:

          With a well designed simplistic and user-friendly interface, Coinbase is one of the first choices among newbies. A dashboard of Coinbase contains all the necessary information related to your crypto portfolio, prices of coin and also the transaction history.

          Oppositely, with basic and advanced interfaces, Binance is gaining traction among little more experienced than beginners. Undoubtedly, every necessary information is available on the dashboard related to the availability of coins, buyers and sellers prices, list of coins etc. but in a slightly complicated format.
