🌍 Best international advanced

Sign up at bitfinex.com. Requires non-US residency. KYC verification is more thorough than US exchanges (expect 3-7 days). Withdrawal limits scale with verification tier.

Bitfinex is the international advanced exchange. Not available to US residents (BVI-regulated). 0.20% taker / 0.10% maker. 150+ assets, advanced margin trading (up to 10x leverage on supported pairs), and deep order books. They had a $72M hack in 2016 (mostly user-reimbursed by 2022) and remain operational. If you're a non-US active trader, Bitfinex is competitive with Kraken on fees and offers margin trading that Kraken does not.

Pros

  • Margin trading up to 10x leverage
  • Deep order books for large trades
  • 0.10% maker fee is competitive

Cons

  • Not available to US residents
  • 2016 hack history (though resolved by 2022)
  • Less regulatory transparency than US exchanges
