Coinbase

Coinbase is a US-listed cryptocurrency exchange, and its distinguishing characteristic is regulatory posture: it operates as a public company with disclosure obligations, which is a different risk profile from offshore exchanges.

That compliance shows in the product — fewer listed tokens, more restricted derivatives access, and higher fees on the simple interface than on its advanced trading view.

For users prioritizing counterparty transparency over asset selection, that trade-off is the point rather than a limitation.
