Binance is the largest exchange in the world in terms of trading volume, with hundreds of currencies and a wide range of services: Futures, Options, Staking, Lending. Trading fees are generally lower. However, Binance has known regulatory issues in several countries.

Israeli stock exchanges

In Israel, Bits of Gold and Bit2C offer a local service with a Hebrew interface and support for the shekel. They are regulated by Israeli authorities and are particularly suitable for initial purchases.
