Comment by Reviewer
"Nexo gives crypto traders the capability to trade, invest, lend and borrow digital assets in one place, and it’s especially good for its credit functions that pay out very high yields to lenders. However, its fees are relatively high and many day traders will prefer a more tightly regulated crypto broker."	"eToro's social trading platform leads the pack with a terrific user experience and active community chat that can help beginners find opportunities. There are also competitive fees on thousands of CFDs and real stocks, plus excellent rewards for experienced strategy providers."

Cons
Although Nexo has registered with some reputable watchdogs, it is riskier to trade with than established crypto brokers like AvaTrade and Vantage High deposit and withdrawal fees for cards and e-wallets will price many traders out of the most convenient payment methods Very few educational resources are available, reducing its appeal to beginners who can find more helpful resources at category leaders like eToro High maker/taker fees mean day traders will pay more to trade derivatives than they would at rival exchanges like Binance The range of tokens is extensive compared to most crypto brokers but still much smaller than similar crypto exchanges like Kraken	The lack of additional charting platforms like MT4 will reduce the appeal for seasoned day traders accustomed to using third-party software. There are no guaranteed stop loss orders which would be a useful risk management feature for beginners. There is a $30 minimum withdrawal amount and a $5 fee, which will affect novices with low capital. There are limited contact methods aside from the in-platform live chat.
