Alternative exchanges and sites like Binance
Find the best alternatives to Binance.
Binance commands a huge share of the crypto exchange market, boasting nearly 8 million users and counting. The site is so popular, it’s previously had to temporarily halt its acceptance of new users so it could update its infrastructure to accommodate the surge in traffic. Because the site’s visitors continue to increase in number, you may want to have another exchange up your sleeve in case of another temporary ban in new users.
Binance has the following features:
- It’s one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges by market trading volume.
- It offers a robust set of trading and charting tools.
- It has a wide range of cryptocurrency offerings.
- It is a crypto-only exchange (no fiat currency deposits or withdrawals).
