Let’s face it — choosing the right crypto platform can feel overwhelming. There are so many options all claiming to be the “best”. That’s why I’ve put together this guide of what I’m using and my experiences with each to help you navigate the top trading platforms in 2025. Think of it as your crypto cheat sheet.
No. 1 on our list is Coinbase. This is the platform I have used the most and where I have most of my crypto. It is very popular. It is extremely easy and straightforward. They have a good amount of crypto to choose from. You will not have to worry about scam coins or scam projects on Coinbase which is unfortunately becoming more widespread. I see a lot of users of Coinbase complaining of Coinbase holding their money or not letting them cash out. That has not been my experience at all. I add money to my account and it’s immediately available to spend and if I want to cash out or transfer money it happens immediately. So, I’m not sure what what they are trying to do or what the issue is but, I can tell you this is not normal. I also like that they keep track of your transactions for tax purposes so, you don’t have to worry about that. If you’re new to crypto or not, Coinbase is safe, reliable, and easy to use. If you use my link to sign up and spend $100 I think it is, you will receive $10 and I’ll receive $10. It’s easy to sign up. You will have to verify your identity, which is to be expected with any crypto trading platform. They want pictures of both sides of your ID and a picture of you holding your ID. Once you’re verified, you’re in and you’ll never look back. It’s so easy to figure out and use. If you get stuck and don’t know what to do feel free to reach out at: hello@cryptrada.com and I’ll try to help you however I can. I think everyone should have a cryptocurrency account so, I want to help as many people as possible get set up. Here is a YouTube video I created 2 years ago showing step-by-step how to create a coinbase account.
I think that is all I’m going to post for now. I’ll follow up with another post on the other platforms I’m using. In the mean time check out our useful links page for more platforms. And if you’re already set up, what’s your go-to platform for crypto trading? Share your experiences in the comments—I’d love to hear about them! And if you’re still on the fence, stick around Cryptrada for more guides and insights to help you make informed decisions.
