Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum and other coins through a regulated, MiCA-licensed exchange — then move your holdings to a wallet you control. Here's where to start.
Low fees, a long clean security record, and available across the EU including France. A sensible default for most European buyers.
Get started on Kraken →Beginner-friendly, with crypto and stocks in one account and copy-trading. Serves France, Germany, Spain, the UK and more.
Visit eToro →Not sure which fits you? See every major MiCA-licensed exchange side by side on fees, coins and country availability.
Compare exchanges →Stick to MiCA-licensed platforms that legally serve your country. See our licensed-exchanges guide.
SEPA transfers are usually free or near-free; card payments cost 1–4% every time. The saving adds up fast.
Move meaningful holdings to a wallet you control — see our hardware wallet guide.
Honest by design: Some links here are affiliate links — if you sign up through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you, and it never affects our assessment. We tell you plainly when an exchange isn't available in your country, even when we earn nothing from it.

After the July 2026 MiCA deadline, only a small group of exchanges are legally licensed in the EU. Here's who's licensed, who's out, and how to verify.
Both serve France and the EU, both MiCA-licensed — but they suit different people. An honest head-to-head on fees, ease of use and safety.
Does DCA actually beat lump-sum investing? The honest answer, backed by research — plus how to build your own plan with our free calculator.
The new MiCA rules that replaced PSAN in July 2026, the 30% flat tax, payment methods, and which platforms legally serve French residents.
Germany's remarkable 0% tax after a one-year hold, the €1,000 exemption, the 2027 reform that could end it, and how to buy.
The unusual Box 3 wealth tax — you're taxed on holdings, not gains, even in a losing year — the €57,000 exemption, and how to buy.
Spain's 19–28% savings tax, the Modelo 721 foreign-holdings form most people miss, and which licensed platforms serve Spanish residents.
We built CoinHawk because we were frustrated with existing crypto tools. Most dashboards are either too basic or overwhelmingly complex. Traders need clean, fast, reliable data — and the tools to act on it. CoinHawk is our answer to that problem.
Security is not an afterthought at CoinHawk. It is built into everything: how we handle your data, how we protect your portfolio information, and how we select our technology partners.
CoinHawk does not store your trading credentials, does not have access to your exchange accounts, and does not sell your data. Everything runs in your browser.
To give every crypto trader — from beginner to professional — access to the same quality of tools, data, and analysis that institutional traders take for granted. Free, fast, and secure.

Data stored in your browser: Your watchlist, portfolio holdings, price alerts, and theme preferences are stored locally in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us.
Buying crypto: CoinHawk does not sell cryptocurrency or process payments. When you choose to buy crypto, you do so directly on a third-party exchange via links on our site. Any account, payment or identity data is collected and processed by that exchange under its own privacy policy. CoinHawk never receives, stores or has access to your payment details, identity documents, exchange credentials or wallet private keys.

By accessing or using CoinHawk (coinhawk.net), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
CoinHawk provides cryptocurrency market data, trading tools, portfolio tracking, and educational content for informational purposes only, alongside affiliate links to third-party exchanges and products. CoinHawk is not a financial advisor, broker, exchange, or licensed investment service. We do not sell cryptocurrency and do not hold, manage, or have access to any user funds or exchange accounts.
All content on CoinHawk — including prices, signals, AI analyst responses, blog articles, and calculator results — is for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes financial, investment, or trading advice. Cryptocurrency trading carries significant risk including the potential loss of your entire investment. Always conduct your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.
CoinHawk Pro is billed at €9.99/month via Stripe. Subscriptions auto-renew monthly until cancelled. You may cancel at any time from your Stripe billing portal. No refunds are provided for partial months. We reserve the right to modify pricing with 30 days notice.
CoinHawk features affiliate partnership links to third-party platforms including eToro, Crypto.com, Coinbase, Revolut, and Trading212. If you click these links and sign up, we may receive a commission. This does not affect the price you pay. We only partner with MiCA-licensed or regulated platforms. You are responsible for reviewing the terms and risks of any third-party platform before using it.
CoinHawk does not sell cryptocurrency. When you choose to buy crypto or a product, you do so directly with a third-party exchange or retailer reached via links on our site, and your contract for that purchase is with them, not with CoinHawk. Those third parties are solely responsible for payment processing, identity (KYC) verification, exchange rates, fees, transaction execution and delivery, under their own terms. Some of our links are affiliate links: if you sign up or purchase through them, CoinHawk may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects the price you pay or the honesty of our assessments. Availability of any third-party service depends on your country of residence.
You agree not to:
• Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or copy CoinHawk's functionality
• Use automated bots to access the service
• Attempt to circumvent Pro subscription limits
• Use the AI analyst to generate content that could mislead other investors
CoinHawk is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any trading losses, missed opportunities, or damages arising from use of our tools or data. Market data may occasionally be delayed or inaccurate — always verify with your exchange before trading.
These terms are governed by French law. Any disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of France.
