How to think about the Ethereum choice
- Ethereum is mainstream enough that most people should start by choosing the cleanest option, not the most exotic option.
- Compare ETH spot access, country and account eligibility, funding, total costs and the withdrawal network before choosing an exchange.
- If ETH is just the start of a more active trading workflow, the exchange feel matters more than a pure first-time app vibe.
- The goal here is not to compare the entire market. It is to cut ETH down to an option you will actually use.
