I have been poking around on Publish0x and learning a few things.
I found a platform called KuKoin. It seems to be a decent exchange. I am getting nervous about Binance because of the recent talks in the USA and the FTX noise.
I have also seen that the APYs on KuCoin are sugstantially higher. I think I will park my BTC there for 2-3 months to gain a lot of ground.
Also, Binance cannot operate in my jurisdiction. I have been using the company VNP to get around this, but that system is being shut down. So this move is also being done out of necessity.
I have made the withdrawal request and will begin staking on KuCoin for the time being.
