Comment by Reviewer
"Vantage is an excellent option for CFD traders seeking a tightly-regulated broker with access to the reliable MetaTrader platforms. The fast sign-up process and $50 minimum deposit make it very straightforward to start trading."	"I opened an Uphold account, tested every inch of the platform and what stands out for me is how convenient it is for accessing the crypto markets. I can buy, trade and transfer over 250 digital tokens in a few clicks. It is a one-stop-shop for crypto investors."
Pros
Vantage’s strong reputation and top-tier regulation from the FCA and ASIC give this broker a very high trust score The ECN accounts are very competitive with spreads from 0.0 pips and a $1.50 commission per side There’s an excellent suite of trading software, including the award-winning platforms MT4 and MT5 The unlimited demo account provides full access to the markets and backtesting functionality Vantage caters to hands-off investors with beginner-friendly social trading via ZuluTrade & Myfxbook The low minimum deposit of $50 and zero funding fees make this broker a great choice for new traders There are no strategy restrictions with hedging and scalping permitted It’s quick and easy to open a live account – taking less than 2 minutes	My tests show that fees are competitive with 26 underlying platforms helping to source the best prices I have noticed that Uphold is often one of the first platforms to list new crypto tokens Crypto staking is available on 30+ tokens with above-average rates up to 16% I am reassured that Uphold is 100% reserved, helping to protect client funds Over 250 cryptos are available including major tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum I think the app is extremely easy to use with a slick design and navigation UK users can get the Uphold card with up to 2% cashback in XRP Two-step authentication bolsters user security
Cons
It's a shame that some clients will need to register with the offshore entity, which offers less regulatory protection A steep $10,000 deposit is needed for the best trading conditions, including a $1.50 commission per side The average execution speeds of 100ms to 250ms are slower than alternatives based on tests Unfortunately, cryptos are only available for Australian clients	The charting analysis features on the platform trail specialist exchanges I find the customer service slow with limited contact options There is a 2.49% fee if you want to use debit or credit cards Uphold operates with limited regulatory oversight
