Who it suits
- Traders in Thailand who want a locally licensed venue rather than an offshore one

- Spot buyers who want a stated proof of reserves before depositing
Who should look elsewhere
- Derivatives traders, since Bitkub has no derivatives
- Fee-first traders, since 0% and 0.25% to 1.99% sit at or below the Bitkub fee
- People who want the very longest list, since from 650 coins is deeper
