| Comment by Reviewer | |
| "Binance will appeal to crypto investors looking to trade big tokens like Bitcoin plus niche coins with low fees. However, regulatory action and questionable handling of customer funds makes this firm too high-risk in our opinion." | "Libertex will appeal to both beginner and experienced traders thanks to its easy-to-use platform and low fees. The brand is also a good pick for share dealing with commission-free stock investing." |

| CFD Trading | |
| CFD trading not offered | Libertex's list of CFDs covers a decent range of tradeable underlying assets, but there isn't much depth with only around 250 in total. Leverage up to 1:30 for retail clients is available in accordance with CySEC regulations, and traders can choose between three excellent trading platforms. Best of all are the tight spreads available on all markets and the zero commissions on investments in stocks. |
