Things to check before signing up

Security & custody
Binance references a user-asset protection fund. Review the current details on its own site; this is not a guarantee of protection.
Safety reminder
crypto.co.uk does not rank, score, or recommend providers, and does not confirm any provider’s regulatory status. Crypto is high risk and largely unregulated in the UK; most crypto is not protected by the FSCS or the Financial Ombudsman Service. Check a firm on the FCA Register and the FCA Warning List before signing up. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
