Dear community!

In my quest to leave US-based companies behind, I am now looking for a Coinbase replacement.

I am not much of a power user, and my currencies aren't many either (Bitcoin + Ethereum).

Basically a website and app which let's me send and buy (crypto) currencies.

Side topic: There isnt any search? Or just for some Lemmy clients (I'm using Jerboa)

Thanks!

You could get out of the crypto grift before the bubble bursts.

My favourite crypto platform is based in The Netherlands, they have low fees, good staking options and best of all a system where you can easily spread your money over a bunch of different crypto currencies by buying into a bundle. I never send any crypto, so don't know if it's what you looking for but might be worth checking out:

Binance is Chinese.

Or you could go totally decentralised

I use the Bison App by the Stuttgart stock exchange. It’s very simple and only offers 27 Currencies, but it’s enough for me. It might be worth checking out for you as well.

Thanks for the comment, but Kraken seems US-based?

@olof I don't know, but heard Kraken is good. Found this blog talking about MiCA, might be good to look after: https://bitcourier.co.uk/blog/best-crypto-exchanges-europe unless you do crypto to move away from centralised banking.

Thanks for all the opinions and comments. I'll start off looking at Bitpanda, with the smaller companies recommended still on my list.
