The crypto market never sleeps and has become a global phenomenon. Monitoring market movements every second from anywhere can be challenging, especially when using larger devices like laptops or desktops.

That’s why many apps have been developed specifically for mobile devices, giving traders all the features of desktop platforms and the ability to trade crypto on the go.

Here’s a list of crypto trading apps you can use to trade cryptocurrencies anytime, anywhere, using your mobile device.

1. Binance

Binance needs no introduction — it’s the largest crypto exchange in the world.

Binance offers both Android and iOS apps, providing all the desktop features like charts, a P2P marketplace, futures and options trading, crypto lending, and instant crypto purchases using debit or credit cards.

With the app, you can trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, Link, Tezos, Cardano, Binance Coin, and many more for just 0.10% trading fees. Debit card purchases incur a 2% to 3.5% fee.

The app also allows you to set price alerts with a single tap and offers a recurring buy option to automate your crypto purchases based on your preferred amount and schedule.

Binance provides 24/7 customer support in 18 languages (English, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Korean, and more).

Adhering to anti-money laundering regulations, Binance utilizes advanced technology to monitor transactions, ensuring a secure trading experience.

They offer two apps — Standard and Pro — for both Android and iOS.

The standard app includes essential trading features like price, volume, and charts. You can switch between 5-chart timeframes (from 24 hours to the entire price history of the asset) and view leaderboards showcasing top gainers, top losers, most traded assets, and the largest market caps.

The Pro app offers everything from the standard version but with added support for over 1000+ cryptocurrencies, real-time price updates, advanced trading features like margin trading (up to 5x leverage), and customizable orders.

Both apps support KYC and provide 24/7 customer support.
