Binance is #30 in our crypto broker rankings.
Binance is being sued by the SEC for a range of securities violations, including the commingling of client funds and 'wash trading' against its customers to artificially increase crypto prices. Your funds may be at risk if you trade with Binance. We do not recommend making any deposits.

| Comment by Reviewer | |
| "Deriv is ideal for active traders seeking alternative and unique ways to speculate on global financial markets, from multipliers and accumulator options to its bespoke synthetic indices, which mimic real market movements and are available 24/7, allowing for continuous trading opportunities regardless of market hours." | "Binance will appeal to crypto investors looking to trade big tokens like Bitcoin plus niche coins with low fees. However, regulatory action and questionable handling of customer funds makes this firm too high-risk in our opinion." |

Deriv excels with its straightforward app design, enhanced in 2025 with streamlined position management and clearer contract details, alongside its diverse trading opportunities, from traditional markets to custom indices that simulate real-world markets and offer 24-hour trading, including on weekends. The in-app chat assistance, which can’t be found at many alternatives, is also fast and reliable, providing an important layer of support for new users. |
