Verdict

Both providers are practically level in our overall rating (4.3 to 4.3).

On a €1,000 purchase you pay €10.50 less at Binance.

BinanceOur 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.

eToroOur Opinion

eToro is considered one of the best-known multi-asset platforms worldwide and is especially recognized in the DACH region for its CopyTrader feature, which can automatically replicate other users' trading strategies. With more than 100 tradeable cryptoassets, an integrated demo account and an extensive Academy, eToro is seen as an accessible platform particularly suited to beginners.

In addition to crypto, the platform also offers stocks, ETFs, indices and commodities. According to the website, crypto trading in Germany is conducted via DLT Finance, while custody is provided by the BaFin-licensed Tangany GmbH. Staking, savings plans and a dedicated crypto wallet with wallet transfers within the eToro ecosystem are also available.

The fee structure is occasionally viewed by users as having room for improvement, as additional costs may arise depending on the product and usage. Extended crypto features and club benefits are also partly tied to certain conditions. eToro is therefore especially suitable for investors who want to trade crypto in the context of a broad multi-asset offering and value social trading features.
