Crypto exchange
Coinbase earns a top-tier score because its public-company transparency, EU MiCA authorization and institutional-grade disclosures create one of the strongest evidence profiles among crypto exchanges.
Crypto exchange
Kraken scores strongly for operating history, regulatory footprint, advanced trading tools and a durable reputation for security-aware operations.
Multi-asset broker
eToro is a strong multi-asset broker with a large retail footprint and a clear regulated-entity structure across key markets.
Crypto exchange
OKX rates strongly on product depth, proof-of-reserves communication and European MiCA authorization, with regional restrictions remaining the main review constraint.
Crypto exchange
Coinhako scores well as a regionally focused, Singapore-regulated crypto platform with convenient local funding and a straightforward trading flow.
Crypto exchange
Luno earns a positive score for longevity, regional licensing focus, proof-of-reserves messaging and a clean user experience.
Crypto exchange
Binance has exceptional scale and product depth, but the Trust Score is measured because regulatory conditions vary sharply by region and recent EU access issues materially affect the review profile.
Crypto exchange
SKHTU receives a positive but measured score for product coverage, security-control materials and public-profile consistency. The rating remains below older global brokers because the platform is still building long-term evidence depth.
