3.7/5 

Coinbase is one of the most established and trusted crypto exchanges, offering a simple user experience, strong regulatory compliance, and extensive fiat payment support across many regions. Its biggest strengths are easy crypto purchases, reliable banking integrations, strong security practices, and accessibility for beginners entering the market. The platform is especially useful as a fiat on-ramp and off-ramp, though its high spot trading fees make it less attractive for frequent traders.
