It wasn't long ago that crypto prices on Bitfinex were quite a lot higher than other exchanges because you couldn't withdraw national currencies [0].

Are their banking issues all resolved now?

Also, if you're domiciled in the US, Bitfinex won't even do business with you [1].

For US customers who what to be legal, Gemini seems pretty solid and verifies new accounts quickly, though they only support Bitcoin and Ethereum [2].

I know this, but you can still use Bitfinex by depositing crypto and using a VPN. Not really "illegal".

Gemini is great, but they are slow to verify and as you stated very limited on your trading pairs.
