Kraken Review: A Simple App on Top, a Serious Trading Engine Underneath
Kraken is the exchange we would point a cautious buyer to first, because it offers a plain app now and a real trading terminal later under one account. The fee gap is the catch: the app charges 1% on instant trades, so move to Kraken Pro as soon as you are comfortable. It is not for people who want the cheapest possible option on day one.
