Hello guys,
It's @besticofinder here and today I'm going to look at two leading crypto currency exchanges and let's decide what is the best one for you. If you look at the coinmarketcap.com rankings which rank crypto currency exchanges on liquidity, traffic, number of spot markets and trading volumes, you can see Coinbase is ranked as No.2 and Poloniex something around No. 9 (current| spot). We all know that Poloniex is emerging faster than ever as a exchange. So through this we can identify what are the differences between two exchanges, what exchange is more suitable for a newbie and what for a pro, and which exchange is following the best security strategies. Then it's easy for you to decide which one is the best for you ?

Coinbase vs Poloniex , which is the best for you ?

For many users who coming in to the crypto industry , Coinbase is their first exchange experience because it's a trusted way to convert their fiat currencies in to crypto. And it has a very comfortable user interface for any one. At the same time it accept US $ in different ways such as credit/debit card or bank wire. A newbie just need an email and a mobile number to sign up and start using this site and every thing is well designed as user friendly. So according to my point of view Coinbase is suitable for people who convert fiat - crypto often.
On the other hand Poloniex is better for people who are not that much in to conversion of fiat - crypto , that's mean for seasonal investors who trade and hold crypto.

Trading interface of Poloniex exchange

I will give same marks for Poloniex interface and Coinbase interface , because both of them are very user friendly , clear , with all the information required. The next major point we should consider is Customer Support. Personally I don't like the both. I see both of these exchanges do not have a quality customer support. Both the exchanges provide 24/7 customer support chat , email support and tickets. But the user reviews are not very positive for both of them regarding this aspect. The most important fact we have to consider is Security. I'm happy to say both these exchanges have not faced major hacking incidents in last 5 years. So this proves both exchanges have excellent security for users assets.

Final Thoughts

Both Coinbase and Poloniex exchanges play important roles in this industry. Using one exchange will be directly depend on your trading objective. For example people who involved in Btc buying and selling business for locals Coinbase is a perfect place. Poloniex is much more suitable for seasonal investors. When considering other factors like security , liquidity , supported markets, I see both are very same. I think Poloniex is a exchange which deserves a better place in the industry.

Thank you

For both platforms we can make a distinction in the level of fees granted to transactions, start with poloniex which determines the fees according to the evolution of your trading over a month and taking into account your assigned status as maker or taker . Fees are low for decision makers because they provide liquidity. If for example you are trading less than 600 BTC, Poloniex will add a 0.15% decision maker fee or 0.25% taker fee to your trade.

Coinbase, its fees are its weak point and the supreme argument traders use against this trading platform. It is based on both the trade amount and the payment method you have chosen. For transactions under $ 200, a fixed fee applies regardless of the service payment method.

The fees are as follows:

$ 0.99 for a transaction valued at $ 10.99 or less
$ 1.49 for a transaction valued at $ 11.00 to $ 26.49
$ 1.99 for a transaction valued at $ 26.50 to $ 51.99
$ 2.99 for a transaction valued at $ 52.00 to $ 78.05

Thank you for your valuable comment.

Yes , after security this is the second concern for every trader. Low frees will affect Poloniex positively in this industry.

I am totally agree!

Superb comparison.. very useful 👌

We all know that Poloniex is emerging faster than ever as a exchange.

Indeed, the acceptance of poloniex is growing daily and usage is skyrocketing as traders are gaining much more confidence in their current operations and security measures.

On the other hand Poloniex is better for people who are not that much in to conversion of fiat - crypto , that's mean for seasonal investors who trade and hold crypto.

Poloniex is great for crypto tradings and they also accept fiat trading as well. For more information about that I havd made a detailed post here.

The next major point we should consider is Customer Support.

Poloniex is working on that aspect as I have seen some replies in that area. Also, some expert traders are usually available in their trollbox who give some helpful tips.
