Binance Reviews
The world's largest crypto exchange with 482 tradable coins, though only 29 of them trade directly against the euro. Without EU authorisation: the MiCA application was withdrawn in June 2026.
Binance Rating
Our Opinion
Binance is considered the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume and is valued for its low spreads in order book trading. With over 370 tradable cryptocurrencies, savings plans and staking, the platform offers a broad range of services. On the market since 2017, Binance has established itself as a major player in crypto trading.
For the German market, however, it should be noted that Binance does not have a BaFin license. The direct-buy fees of 1.75 % and total costs of 18.50 € per trade are occasionally criticized, as is the limited cost transparency for direct purchases. The minimum amount of 15 € is also higher than at some competitors.
Binance is seen especially as suitable for experienced traders who want to benefit from the low spreads in order book trading and for whom a missing BaFin license matters less than the platform’s global market presence and liquidity.
Pros & Cons
- 482 cryptocurrencies tradable, the widest selection among established exchanges (measured on 3 September 2026 via Binance's public API)
- Savings plan and staking are offered
- Largest crypto exchange worldwide with low spreads
- Wallet transfer possible
- No granted MiCA authorisation. Binance appears in no EU register and, by its own announcement, withdrew its application with the Greek regulator on 24 June 2026. A new host state has been announced but not confirmed.
- Only 29 of the 482 coins trade directly against the euro. Everything else goes through another currency, usually a stablecoin, which adds cost and exchange rate risk.
- Trading fees of 1.75 % on direct purchases have room for improvement
- Cost transparency is rated as limited
