Be watchful of these top 10 places where you can buy Ethereum after the ETH merge

Anticipation for the soon-to-happen ETH merge is growing at a fast pace among investors. On September 15, 2022, the Ethereum network will adopt the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism in place of its current proof-of-work (PoW) system. It is a momentous event that perhaps the entire crypto verse has been waiting for years. And, as the date draws closer, news stories and predictions around The Merge also seem to be coming in thick and fast. Here are the top 10 places to buy Ethereum after the ETH merge takes place.

Coinbase

Coinbase is probably one of the most popular and famous trading platforms, especially in the United States. Recently, its crypto exchange called GDAX became Coinbase Pro and it has the purpose to help professional crypto traders with the help of a more targeted crypto trading interface, in-depth and helpful features, and lower fees.  It's worth noting that the verification process is still the same regardless of what service you choose and that you can easily invest in Ethereum too. Coinbase is fully regulated and licensed since its creation back in 2009. It has a very easy-to-use interface and a license to operate in forty United States of America states and territories. Currently, its fees are between $0.99 and $2.99.

Binance

Binance is a crypto exchange that was founded back in 2017. Its main focus is on altcoin trading and investing, and that includes Ethereum as well as all the other major cryptocurrencies. Binance also has its own cryptocurrency called BNB, which reduces the fees by 25% if used. The platform offers about 600 trading pairs between cryptocurrencies and has the advantage of more advanced charting as well as lower fees than most other crypto exchanges. They are only 0.1% for the taker side and 0.1% for the maker side. If you choose it, make sure that you are aware of the fact that 13 U.S. states, including New York, are not supported by the United States version of the Binance. For all the others, there is the international version.

Crypto.com

Crypto.com is a real pioneer in this industry. It keeps up with the trends and offers wallet and portfolio-building services as well as MCO Visa cards and the possibility to trade using over 55 cryptocurrencies. It is definitely easy to use, especially if you already have some experience when it comes to Ethereum trading and investing. It was established back in 2017 and it even has its own token called CRO after the original one, MCO, was discontinued earlier this year. Its offerings are certainly some of the most competitive on the market right now and represent a good enough reason to consider this exchange when making your choice.

Kadocapital

This is an up-and-coming exchange that is slowly becoming famous for its customer service and easy-to-use platform. Sadly, it's not available for U.S. users but if you are from any other part of the world, you can definitely take a look. Kadocapital offers over 800 cryptocurrencies and ICO pairs as well as valuable and useful educational resources which make it one of the best choices for beginners, especially when it comes to Ethereum. The minimum deposit is $250 and you can choose from six different account types, depending on your goals, money, and experience. Its fees can be a bit higher than usual but all the other useful features definitely compensate for this.

Safe Currency

Safe Currency is also a relatively new crypto exchange, having been launched in 2018 with its headquarters in London, United Kingdom. The good news is that its services are available worldwide. They comply with all the legal requirements to function and have a very good exchange rate. You can also buy Ethereum using your Credit or Debit card on this platform which can make your job a lot easier. Their official website also comes with a very interesting news section which can prove to be very helpful, especially for newer investors and traders. This is an exchange that is definitely worth considering.

Guggenheim Trade

Guggenheim Trade is also a good choice if you're looking for quick crypto investing and trading. This broker prides itself on the enhanced security and the advanced tutorials that it offers to all customers. Established in 2008, this exchange also comes with the advantage of a highly-intuitive platform interface as well as charting tools that are super easy to use. This is, again, a good place to start your crypto trading adventure.

Kraken

Kraken is the biggest exchange when it comes to Euro volume and liquidity and it's available worldwide. It's also a partner of the first-ever crypto bank. It operates globally but its base is in the United States. Founded back in 2011, it's definitely one of the oldest and most trustworthy crypto exchanges out there. Kraken allows users to trade and invest in the most popular assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, and has relatively low fees.

Bitstamp

Bitstamp is very important and that's primarily due to the fact that it was the first-ever introduced cryptocurrency exchange in the European Union. Their verification process takes just a few hours and requires an ID card and residence proof to make everything safe. It was founded back in 2011 and works with the most popular assets to date, including Ethereum.

Coingate

Coingate is a gateway that allows you to accept cryptocurrencies in the form of payment. It is also a crypto exchange that offers you the possibility to trade and invest in the most popular cryptocurrencies at the moment (they offer over 50 of them and the possibility to turn them into fiat).

Bitpanda

Bitpanda has its base in Vienna, Austria, and was created back in 2014. It offers users the possibility to trade and invest in over thirty digital assets, including Ethereum. Their goal is to make everything extremely easy for users, they have a wide range of payout and payment providers, and accept EUR, CHF, GBP, or USD as payment.
