Review Bitvavo: good and beginner friendly exchange
The Bitvavo platform was launched in 2018, with the aim of bridging the gap between traditional currencies and digital currencies. It is a Dutch platform and ease of use so very suitable to start as a beginner. They could be the market leader in The Netherlands and Belgium. Recently they have won the Cashcow awards 2021 as Best Crypto Broker.

What to look for when choosing a good crypto broker or exchange?
In this short review I will share how Bitvavo works, what I think and what the pros and cons are.
Bitavo has 50+ crypto currencies and keeps expanding. They only have EUR pair cryptos like ETH-EUR so mostly focus on European customers. As said before newbie-friendly with some basic Buy and Sell options. They also have Stop Limit orders.

Good start on crypto
You put your well-earned money, so everything needs to be safe. As Bitvavo has (slightly) higher cost on trading (0.25%), I would only recommend to use the fiat currency transfers from/to your bank account. A small trading platform has lower liquidity and difficult to trade if the crypto market is on a fast move especially on a down market. From your Euro deposit you could buy XLM-EUR and transfer (±€0.05 transfer fee) to Binance. From there you could trade (0.1%) to another coin.
If you want to keep it simple, Bitvavo is a platform you could consider as they have stake possibility on different coins. They support staking on stable coins like USDT and USDC and could generate some passive income.
