Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on TradingPrimer are referral links. If you create an account through one of these links, the venue may pay us a share of its trading fees, at no additional cost to you.

Every paid relationship we have, in full, as of 15 September 2026: Binance, OKX, Bybit and Kraken on the centralised side; Hyperliquid, Aster, pump.fun and FOMO on the decentralised side; and TradingView, which is a charting tool rather than an exchange. Kraken accepted us into its affiliate programme on 14 September 2026; it is the only venue we carry that can onboard readers in the United States, which is why we added it. We have no paid relationship with any other venue we write about — Coinbase and Gemini included — and we say so on the pages where the distinction could change how you read a comparison.

Three commitments:

① Referral links appear only where opening an account is genuinely the next practical step of a lesson.
② Commissions never decide our content — we describe fees, risks and drawbacks of every platform we mention.
③ We only link platforms we have used ourselves.

Trading fees and terms change frequently — always verify current terms on the exchange's own site.
