Robinhood is an American stock broker and financial services firm based in California. The broker offers commission-free stocks, cryptos and ETFs, plus other products such as cash cards and retirement accounts. Despite its robust US regulation, Robinhood has been involved in numerous scandals and security breaches since 2020. We urge investors to exercise caution.	Kucoin is a crypto exchange that offers trading on 1000+ tokens as well as leveraged trading opportunities via futures and perpetual swaps. This exchange has a slick trading platform that supports robots, allowing traders to implement automated strategies. Other attractive features include a demo account, flexible funding methods and DeFi features like staking and mining.

Comment by Reviewer
"Robinhood is aimed at traders looking for stocks and crypto investing opportunities with additional perks. However, the brokerage's recent business practices mean the brand isn't a good option if you want a reliable and trustworthy broker."	"Users who want to make automated crypto trades on a wide range of digital currencies should Kucoin. The brand is also good for crypto staking and mining."

Cryptocurrency
Access 18 crypto assets through the Robinhood app with no commission fees, including access to Bitcoin. On the negative side, the selection is not as wide as other brands and security is weak.	With well over 1000 crypto assets available, Kucoin offers a great degree of flexibility. It is excellent to see an extensive range of tokens, as this allows traders to search for lesser-known tokens with a high upside. The crypto futures and perpetual swaps are also good additions to the roster, tradeable with 1:10 leverage.
