Cons
Although Nexo has registered with some reputable watchdogs, it is riskier to trade with than established crypto brokers like AvaTrade and Vantage High deposit and withdrawal fees for cards and e-wallets will price many traders out of the most convenient payment methods Very few educational resources are available, reducing its appeal to beginners who can find more helpful resources at category leaders like eToro High maker/taker fees mean traders will pay more to trade derivatives than they would at rival exchanges like Binance The range of tokens is extensive compared to most crypto brokers but still much smaller than similar crypto exchanges like Kraken	High minimum deposit of $1000 Complex suite of services and tools Higher than average fees on some products
