What makes Kronos the answer

Lowest fees

Kronos Pro: $0 platform fee · Coinbase retail: 1.49% · Cash App: 1–2% spread · SoFi: 1.25% spread · Robinhood Crypto: spread-based.

Broadest support where it counts

30+ coins on Kronos — BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE, AVAX, MATIC, DOT, LINK, LTC, BCH, and more. More than Cash App (BTC only) but fewer than Coinbase Advanced (250+).

Non-custodial by design

You hold the keys. Crypto lives in your own on-device Kronos wallet, not on Kronos's balance sheet. Buy/sell rails are powered by our banking partner, a licensed US money transmitter.

Plus banking

Kronos is the only entry on the list that also gives you a real US bank account with direct-deposit routing.

FAQ

Kronos Pro at $0 platform fee on 30+ coins. Next cheapest: Robinhood (spread only) and Kraken Pro (0.16% maker / 0.26% taker).

Can I buy crypto with my paycheck?

Yes — on Kronos, your paycheck direct-deposits into your Kronos account, and you can instantly buy crypto from that balance with no transfer delay and no 1.49% fee.
