Understanding cryptocurrencies alone can be daunting, and if you're new to crypto trading, finding the right brokerage to buy and sell popular assets like bitcoin, ether, and dogecoin can be another challenge. Most of the best crypto apps provide low fees, margin trading, and other features like staking rewards (interest rewards for holding crypto assets for a set period).
