Cons
I'm disappointed that the broker is regulated offshore by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (SFSA) and is not overseen by any top-tier authority I don't like how limited the shares offering is at 10TradeFX, putting them low in my rankings for market availability	BitMEX is an offshore firm and is not regulated by any reputable authority, though this is common among crypto brokers BitMEX is geared towards more active traders, with fewer tools and features aimed at newbies The broker was involved in a legal dispute with US regulators which resulted in fines Withdrawals are only carried out at a specified time of day Only Bitcoin is accepted for free withdrawals

10TradeFX offers 200+ CFDs available to trade on the MT5 terminal. This is a relatively small range compared to most competitors I've reviewed. That said, the minimum deposit requirement to get started is only $50, which is great news for beginners.

Cryptocurrency
There are 10+ crypto instruments available, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. Again, this is pretty limited for active crypto traders but I am glad to see some popular altcoins available 24/7 including Polkadot and Chainlink.	BitMEX continues to offer a highly competitive crypto trading environment, with cheap $1 contracts and leverage up to 1:100. The broker’s proprietary platform offers cutting-edge trading features, including a customizable order book, a depth chart and dozens of technical indicators.
