Top Cryptocurrency Exchanges in 2019

In 2019, a renewed Bitcoin bull market led to an evolution of exchanges and brokerage services. Here are the top exchanges in terms of liquidity, fiat gateway access, and a robust selection of well-picked digital assets.

Binance : this market operator showed its mettle in 2018, and became the undisputed leader in 2019. As of September 2019, Binance will prepare to split its international and US-based services, to comply with regulations and avoid accusations from the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Binance will be thus fully compliant with most jurisdictions while offering credit and debit card access to purchasing digital coins.

Binance is fully KYC, requiring a picture ID for any significant purchases. A recent leak revealed customers’ passports, revealing one of the risks for the exchange. Still, Binance remains one of the safest market operators, with only one big heist taking away 7,000 Bitcoin (BTC).

Because of the success of Binance, the BNB native coin was among the best-performing altcoins as of September 2019.
