- Large, long-running user base (7.4 million registered users as of the end of 2025) with over a decade of operating history

- Large asset selection, over 400 trading pairs, with built-in staking on proof-of-stake assets
- Transparent, competitively low fees at the base tier relative to many EU-facing competitors
