What we like and what we don't
It offers limited cryptocurrency options and is best suited for advanced users. While fees are relatively low, the platform feels outdated, and its user interface could benefit from modernization. Despite its solid security features, it faces strong competition from more user-friendly platforms. Overall, Bitcoin.de is a secure but limited choice, particularly for those familiar with P2P trading.
What we like
