Xapo offers some particularly useful features for a daily trader. Unfortunately, their functions are limited to trading Bitcoins. They tend to lose credibility because they don’t have active customer service and users have been posting complaints all over the internet regarding blocked accounts, lost funds, and cancelled transactions, which may be reason not to use their services.
