Nobody can tell you about true security. We don't have access to the minds of the people that are managing the exchanges and the exchange's backends. What is usually discussed is reputation, not security. So keep that in mind when making choices with your investment. Of course, there are people with a lot more insight and valuable information like the comment below:

Exchange reliability comes down to licensing and regulatory oversight. The strictest and most reliable regulator is in the US. Coinbase is publicly traded, so it's under quarterly regulatory scrutiny. Nobody else in the world has that level of oversight.

Regulation and accountability are surely a good sign and make it less risky. Being publicly traded means there is indeed information about the company's finance, so I do agree that this makes coinbase objectively more secure. But it's not like US based crypto exchanges haven't failed (FTX) or publicly traded companies weren't cheating and actually lying to investors and regulators (Enron).

Kraken – One of the most secure exchanges, with strong compliance and no major hacks. Good for holding BTC.
Coinbase Pro – US-regulated, secure, but not ideal for long-term storage due to account restrictions.
OKX / Bybit – Popular alternatives with solid security, but not as strictly regulated.
Bitstamp – One of the oldest exchanges, known for reliability.

That said, if you're holding a good amount of BTC, it's always best to self-custody (cold wallets). Exchanges are great for trading, but long-term storage should be in your own hands.

Exchanges go bust overnight, hardware wallet or multisig if you’re stacking serious BTC

Agreed, but I have to point out that justice was served in both cases.

And let’s be real—most of the biggest crypto scams have been taken down by the U.S. authorities. They shut down BTC-E, went after Terra (LUNA) long before the UST collapse, crushed BitMEX, threw CZ into a high-security prison, and even jailed the brother of the infamous crypto queen Ruja Ignatova (who managed to escape).

That’s just off the top of my head.

Tell me, what other country has cracked down on crypto scammers this hard?

Yep, but the investors that lost their money, lost their money.

Absolutely! I was saying 100% security doesn't exist, I wasn't saying being based in the US was a bad thing. It's a good thing in my book and it does inspire more confidence for me, just not absolute or blind confidence.

As far as I understand, the Ruja Ignatova thing was not even a real blockchain project, just a good old ponzi scheme with the word coin slapped in its name.

 

[Limidop]

People are choosing the most popular ones, I'm not sure if it necessarily means that most popular = most secure

What's your suggestion?

Why was it? Last I checked, the company's still running from their HQ in Bulgaria, with mama at the helm. And Ruja's brother, who was facing 90 years, only served 34 months and is already out.

It was never decentralized and there was never a public blockchain. It was a website where you deposit and withdraw. It was claiming it's a cryptocurrency, but as far as I'm aware, there was no public blockchain and everything happened on their website that they controlled. Everything was a database on their server.

Nobody argues that Ruja Ignatova and her scheme were a massive crypto scam. I'm just saying she and her family got away with it. And that's outrageous, especially since the crypto pyramid is still running.

Why the fuck are people still recommending Centralized Exchanges? Are they stupid?

The only safe way are Decentralized Exchanges.

Also, there's Google, it's a search engine everybody can use.

 

[Sister Spam]

Plenty of people using coinbase have there wallets "hacked", if your gonna use CB to buy/sell, use them but dont PARK your crypto there.

Not your keys not your crypto, move it to a self custody wallet.

personally id say coinbase staff provide "hackers" info on weak accounts, said "hackers" then empty those wallets and coinbase say its your own fault. reserch it

Why would you even trade on a Centralized Exchange while you can own your coins and your key and trade them on a Decentralized Exchanges? Why not research it?

Wrong.

You just don't know how DeFi and DEX works.

Aave 'manages' f. ex. BILLIONS of USD and they don't own ANY coins of their users.

Absolutely outrageous indeed. Is it really still going? Everything I've read about it was in a past tense. What are they doing right now? And more importantly, who on Earth would still give them a cent?!

I would take Coinbase as the most secure exchange after Binance. We can agree that Kraken is a very good exchange too. The level of security you get on these exchanges is dependent on your location sometimes, and that's something to consider.

After Binance, Kraken is often regarded as one of the most secure exchanges, with strong security measures and reliable BTC staking options.

 

[M1ll10n3rNew]

If you're looking for a secure alternative to Binance, I'd check out Kraken and Gemini. Both are known for their strong security protocols and regulatory compliance.

Crypto pyramids constantly attract money, especially in developing countries. There are even social networks where such ads are posted in the hype section. The organizers of the companies don't even do much advertising, they just write - 1% per day and people flock to invest money. It's all connected to cryptocurrency.

 

[Sudox]

+1 Kraken, they even have their own banking license in Wyoming now!

 

[opksrj77]

I generally like and trust Uphold - they do not comingle customer funds and post transparent reports regularly
