Best Dogecoin Trading Platforms

HitBTC

HitBTC positions itself as an international trading platform. You can work with it from any country in the world. The service was founded in 2013, and is one of the best options to buy Dogecoin now. One of the most important advantages of the trading platform is its API.

Over the years, the crypto-exchange has gained a good trading volume, and has become quite famous all over the world. Verification on HitBTC is optional. The number of currency pairs is also quite large, including the possibility to buy Dogecoin for various cryptocurrencies. An important plus is the support of fiat currencies. On the exchange, you can work with the US dollar.

It should be noted that verification is optional only for crypto trading. If you are trading in pairs with fiat, it requires mandatory confirmation of identity.

Cryptopia

This service began to work in 2014, and is registered in New Zealand. Popularity came to the platform, as well as to many other crypto-exchanges, in the second half of 2017, when there was a rapid growth of cryptocurrencies. Cryptopia specializes on working with low-cap assets, and their range is really wide there.

Cryptopia is one of the most actively developing platforms in the crypto world. In addition to the actual trading service, there is a forum and a bulletin board where you can buy everything you need for mining. The interface of the trading platform is simple and clear, there is a large number of tools to work with. No verification is required for bidding.

However, despite the forum and chat with users, it can be difficult to contact the technical support. It works slowly on Cryptopia. Tickets are also processed for a long time. The fees on at Cryptopia are also quite high.

Poloniex

Poloniex is one of the largest trading platforms in the world. It was registered in 2014 in the USA. The number of cryptocurrency pairs is relatively small - about 50. However, among them, there is Dogecoin, and you can buy it in trading pairs with Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Poloniex is considered one of the most secure crypto exchanges. You can get access only after passing two-factor authentication. A number of other security measures have also been taken. Commissions on the trading floor fluctuate, depending on the trading volume. The maximum is 0.25%, but the larger the volume, the smaller the percentage, down to zero. The site is quite easy to navigate and there are user chats where you can find the latest news about cryptocurrencies.

A serious drawback of Poloniex is the inability to work with fiat currencies. You can only replenish your accounts with cryptocurrencies. The crypto-exchange doesn’t have an official mobile application. In Google Play, sometimes, there appear applications called Poloniex from third-party developers, but they are absolutely fake.

Livecoin

Livecoin is a cryptocurrency exchange that was registered in the UK, but its server is located in the United States. The domain was bought in 2014, but in fact, the exchange appeared a little later - in 2015. The site interface supports 9 languages, including English, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian and others.

Livecoin pays great attention to safety. There are 2FA, setting the maximum session time (from 30 minutes to 48 hours), allowed IP, and even a unique greeting that allows you to distinguish the exchange from phishing sites. The site has a notification system, so the user will not miss important news. You can work with fiat currencies, in particular, euro, dollar, Russian ruble. API is open. In addition, Livecoin has an interesting betting game. You can guess the rate of cryptocurrencies and get a reward for it.

As for the problems of the exchange, there are sometimes disconnections of cryptocurrency wallets for unknown reasons. There are cases of delays in depositing and withdrawing funds in cryptocurrency and fiat money. If you lose your account PIN, you will have to pay a recovery fee of 0.1 BTC. When withdrawing some types of cryptocurrencies, the fee is too high.

Kraken

One of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges, which began its work in 2011. The company's office is located in San Francisco. Over the years, the platform has managed to earn an excellent reputation and accumulate trading volumes at the level of the top 10 trading platforms. The choice of trading pairs with Dogecoin is also quite large, although new coins are added infrequently.

Kraken provides users with margin trading. Thus, the user has the opportunity to significantly increase his profits at the expense of leverage. The crypto-exchange is safe, which is proved by repeated cryptographic audits. Commissions are flexible, the maximum is 0.24%, but it decreases with the increase in trading volume.

Verification on Kraken is mandatory. It is possible to provide data gradually, but nevertheless, they still have to be given to the exchange, which means that anonymity is out of the question. In addition, despite the years of existence, the crypto-exchange has not been able to develop a multilingual interface. Only English is available.
