About

Kraken, founded in 2011 by Jesse Powell, is a top choice for US-based perpetuals traders, offering unmatched regulatory compliance.

Headquartered in San Francisco, Kraken serves 10M+ users globally, providing spot, margin (up to 5x), futures trading, staking, and institutional-grade services.

Licensed by major regulators including the US MSB and UK's FCA, Kraken secures funds through audited Proof of Reserves, SOC 2 certification, and ISO 27001 standards.

MEXC, founded in 2018 by John Chen, is a major crypto exchange offering perpetual futures with leverage up to 200x and access to over 2,900 cryptocurrencies. 

Serving 30 million traders in 170 countries, MEXC features low futures fees, diverse altcoin markets, and special perks for high-volume users. 

While it provides robust security through Proof of Reserves and cold storage, MEXC remains unlicensed by major regulators and has drawn warnings from several global financial bodies.
