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.

- Cost transparency is rated as limited
- 0.125 % order commission on the order volume, as stated in the price and services list dated 8 June 2026
- 74 crypto assets and 94 crypto ETPs tradable, 43 of them eligible for savings plans
- Minimum order volume of €25, fractional purchases possible
- Staking offered on crypto ETPs
- Savings plans for crypto and securities available
- Service handled through the BaFin-licensed Sutor Bank
- Stocks and ETFs tradable as well
- On top of the 0.125 % commission comes the trading venue's spread, so the total cost is not expressed in a single figure
- Transfers to your own wallets are not possible, occasionally criticised by users
- SMS-based two-factor authentication; stronger options would be welcome
- Minimum order volume of €25 per purchase

Verdict
In our overall rating Binance leads with 4.3 against 3.0 for justTrade.
On disclosed fees you pay €16.25 less at justTrade per €1,000 purchase.
For most investors Binance is therefore the better choice.
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.
In the DACH region, justTrade was long perceived as a fee-free trading model. That is no longer the case: under the price and services list dated 8 June 2026, the bank charges an order commission of 0.125 % of the order volume for executing orders in crypto assets, plus the trading venue’s spread. It remains inexpensive by comparison, but it is not free. With 74 tradable cryptocurrencies as real coins, the broker offers a solid range, processed via the BaFin-licensed Sutor Bank. For cost-conscious investors who also want to trade stocks and ETFs alongside crypto, justTrade is considered one of the cheaper options.
Also appreciated is the ability to set up crypto savings plans, as well as the 20-% discount at Blockpit for crypto tax reports. The platform can be used via both app and web and is aimed at investors who prefer an uncomplicated trading environment. Staking via crypto ETPs is seen as a useful addition.
However, wallet transfers to personal wallets are not possible, which is occasionally criticized by users. The minimum deposit of 50 € and the SMS-based 2FA are also considered room for improvement. justTrade is therefore particularly suitable for price-conscious beginners and occasional investors looking for inexpensive access to crypto and securities in a regulated German environment.
