Three providers from our existing catalog accept eligible US residents. Compare access, fees and limitations before opening an account.
CryptoTuts has partner relationships with Coinbase, Kraken and eToro. Links in this edition go to official provider pages without affiliate tracking. Partnerships do not determine the comparison order.

| Fee structure | Simple purchases use variable fees and include a spread shown before confirmation. Coinbase Advanced uses an order book without the simple-trade spread; its own trading fees still apply. | Kraken Pro's published entry spot tier is 0.40% maker and 0.80% taker. Volume tiers and pair-specific schedules apply. Instant Buy uses separate pricing; review its total before confirming. | The US fee page lists a 1% commission on each crypto purchase and each sale. Transfers and other services can incur additional charges. UK fees must be checked separately. |

Country access and crypto access are separate. State, asset and product restrictions still apply. These are US product facts, not the German MiCA scores. The table has no paid placements.
How to choose
Check your state
A platform available nationally can still exclude your state or a particular product.
Check the total quote
Trading commission, spread, payment and withdrawal costs can add up. Simple and order-book interfaces have different pricing.
Check withdrawals
Before buying for self-custody, confirm the asset can be withdrawn over the network you intend to use.
