Kraken exchange profile
Kraken Pro charges 0.16% maker / 0.26% taker for accounts below $50k in 30-day volume and lists 900+ pairs. It supports USD bank wires and ACH, which is the combination no non-US platform in this comparison can offer an American resident. Availability excludes New York, Washington and Maine. Best when fiat on-ramp reliability matters more than headline fees.
