Coinbase Alternatives — Evidence Comparison

Alternative venues are shown for evidence comparison and are not recommendations. They are included because published evidence attributes differ from Coinbase — not because Coinbase is “bad”, and not because of commercial relationships.

Why these venues are included

Each candidate differs from Coinbase on at least one published evidence attribute (regulation, legal-entity mapping, PoR, custody, geographic records, products, or completeness). Inclusion is deterministic from the public snapshot.

What remains unresolved

Open questions and missing domains stay unknown. An empty cell is not a safety finding.

  • Coinbase: No crypto-native PoR snapshot row. SEC/audited financials and customer-asset safeguarding disclosures remain separate transparency (see attributedStatements) — not mapped into por[].
  • Coinbase: 2026-09-13 re-check: Coinbase Advanced Trade full maker/taker VIP schedule still behind Help/Cloudflare or signed-in Advanced fees / authenticated brokerage APIs. Recorded only official simple limit-order execution fee (1%). Do not treat 1% as Advanced Trade. Coinbase Exchange fee tables are a different product surface.
  • OKX: Status page located; no dated material incident structured this phase
  • Binance: ADGM Nest trio roles mapped from official ADGM Terms; Binance FZE mapped from FZE Terms + VARA VL/24/04/001. Do not treat any single entity licence as brand-wide global authorisation. Nest Trading Limited role kept as unknown enum (broker-dealer/off-exchange per terms) pending richer role taxonomy.
  • Kraken: Status page located; no dated material incident structured this phase
  • Bitget: FSA Seychelles lists BTG Technology Holdings Limited on the VASP Assessment list (2026-03-09). Not a granted licence. Operator marketing licences (AUSTRAC etc.) were not confirmed on primary registers in this pass; VARA public register has no Bitget VASP licence row (2026-09-13).
  • Bitget: No confirmed primary incident record packaged
  • Bybit: SATOS partnership terms are regional/partner-scoped; not applied as global Bybit custody. Added PoR wallet-disclosure claim only.

Limitations

This is not a “best alternative” ranking. Evidence differences can change as records are re-verified. Regional records do not imply global approval.
