bitFlyer is one of Japan's largest and the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. It was launched in 2014 and at the end of 2017 it added separate US and EU based businesses. It offers a variety of advanced trading options, but is also extremely suitable for beginners thanks to its simple control panels and a strong level of security, although it offers blessings for traders who are intermediate and experienced. It also allows its clients to trade euro or usd for bitcoin, something that is not always possible on Asian exchanges. However, bitcoin is currently the only cryptocurrency to offer, at the time of writing, so people who want ethereum, ripple, or monero will have to look elsewhere for now. Apart from these, it is a safe and reliable exchange.
