Bitrue pros
- Unusually wide altcoin selection, with 700-plus listed assets and staking/lending pools most larger exchanges don't bother offering
- Flat fee structure that's simple to understand and doesn't punish small accounts the way tiered schedules do
- A long-running XRP staking product that's more developed than what most competitors offer for that asset
- Both USDT-margined and coin-margined futures, giving traders a choice in how they post collateral
Luno pros
- Genuine focus on markets (South Africa, Nigeria, Malaysia, Indonesia, and more) that most major exchanges support poorly or not at all
- Local payment rail support and market knowledge built from operating in these regions for over a decade
- Monthly proof-of-reserves reporting with an independent accounting firm and over 98% of funds in offline, multi-signature cold storage
- No major hack or customer-fund loss on record since founding in 2013
