§ 04 ВОПРОСЫ И ОТВЕТЫ
Часто задаваемые вопросы
Is Nexo safer than Binance? +
Yes, by most metrics. Nexo scores 8/10 on regulatory safety vs Binance's 3/10. Nexo is MiCA-compliant, holds EU crypto licences, and publishes Proof of Reserves via Armanino. Binance reached a $4.3B settlement with the US Department of Justice in 2023, its CEO resigned, and it operates under ongoing compliance requirements. Nexo's 4.5 Trustpilot score vs Binance's 1.3 reflects user experience too.
Which pays higher yield — Nexo or Binance? +
Binance's headline rate (up to 10.5%) exceeds Nexo's (16%), but Binance's top rates are for small-cap tokens with high volatility risk. Nexo offers up to 16% APY on stablecoins like USDT — a more meaningful comparison. For BTC and ETH yield specifically, rates are similar across both platforms.
Does Nexo operate in the US? +
No. Nexo withdrew from the US market in 2022–2023 following pressure from regulators. Binance operates in the US only via Binance.US, a separate entity with a reduced coin selection. US users should consider Kraken Bank or Coinbase.
Which is better for beginners — Nexo or Binance? +
Nexo is significantly more beginner-friendly. The interface is simple: deposit crypto, earn yield, or borrow against it. Binance's platform is designed for active traders — it has hundreds of trading pairs, futures, leveraged tokens, and an overwhelming amount of features. If you just want to save and earn, Nexo is the better starting point.
Did Binance lose its licence in the UK and EU? +
Binance is not MiCA-compliant as of April 2026 and is not licensed as a bank anywhere. In the UK, Binance Markets Limited had its FCA authorisation revoked in 2021. Binance.com currently operates in many jurisdictions under local crypto registration rather than full banking or MiCA licences.
