App Review
Expert Option has an unusual mobile trading offering in that it balances education with trading, potentially serving new traders. However, our tests reveal very basic quizzes and learning materials that barely scratch the surface of binaries. The ‘Tap Game’ is also gimmicky and does little to serve serious traders.	Deriv GO shines with its straightforward app design and diverse trading opportunities, from traditional markets to custom indices that simulate real-world markets and offer 24-hour trading, including on weekends. The in-app chat assistance, which can’t be found at many alternatives, is also fast and reliable, providing an important layer of support for new users.

Cryptocurrency
Traders can speculate on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) price movements using high/low binary options on a proprietary platform. These are three of the most popular cryptocurrencies on the market, but the offering lacks the variety and volatility offered by less popular tokens.	Deriv.com continues to offer a strong selection of 30+ crypto pairs - this is more than double the range offered at our leading competitor, IQ Cent. 1:2 leverage is also available so you can magnify potential returns, and there are no commissions which is ideal for newer day traders.
