Opinion	Kraken 91% Very Good /2024 We see Kraken as one of the best international crypto exchanges, as the US-based exchange integrates all necessary features for both beginners as well as advanced traders. Unfortunately, because Kraken's fees for the instant trading mode are higher than those on Kraken's advanced interface, this exchange fails to empower beginners. Still, for those willing to use advanced trading interfaces, we recommend Kraken as the go-to place to buy and sell crypto assets with a very high-cost efficiency.	Relai 88% Good /2024 Out of all tested Bitcoin-only apps, we believe that Relai offers the most straightforward way of purchasing Bitcoin. Because Relai has a built-in Bitcoin wallet, the Relai app, and a bank account is everything one needs to get started buying Bitcoin, which makes buying Bitcoin and even executing automatic Bitcoin DCA totally hassle-free, even for beginners. Hence, we recommend the Relai app to Bitcoin investors from Switzerland - especially to beginners and individuals who are put off by complicated registration procedures.
