The Morocco column is checked live against each exchange's restricted-country list.
BingX is our top pick for traders in Morocco who want low futures fees, a large coin list, copy trading and a demo account in one place. The other exchanges here differ mainly in cost, coin choice, how you pay in and out, and how well they have handled security problems.
The legal position comes first: Morocco’s financial authorities do not allow people to use crypto, and no body there licences exchanges. Beyond that, what matters is what each exchange charges per trade, which deposit and withdrawal methods it offers, and what could put your money at risk.
BingX puts crypto, stock tokens, forex, indices and commodities under one login, which suits a trader in Morocco who wants variety without juggling accounts. You get 637 coins on spot and 569 on futures with up to 150x leverage, plus copy trading, trading bots and a free demo account for practising without real money.
Trading costs are low: spot trades cost 0.1% for makers and takers, and futures cost 0.02% for limit orders and 0.05% for market orders. No authority in Morocco licences crypto exchanges, so BingX has no local licence and no Moroccan regulator oversees your account.
You can deposit by bank transfer, card, SWIFT, MoonPay or Pix, but withdrawals run only through crypto, SEPA and Pix. Paying for crypto with a Moroccan card or bank transfer is the kind of transaction the Office des Changes says breaks foreign-exchange rules, and BingX requires identity checks before you trade. BingX launched in 2018, was co-founded by Josh Lu, is based in Singapore and is run by CEO Vivien Lin. In 2024 hackers exploited one of its hot wallets, and although BingX repaid every affected customer from its own reserves, the incident shows that money left on an exchange is exposed.
Key points
Derivatives are where Bybit is strongest: its futures cover 577 coins and allow leverage as high as 100x, and options on 8 coins give traders a way to hedge. Spot covers 380 coins, and you also get stock tokens, forex, indices, commodities, copy trading, bots, staking and a demo account.
Makers and takers pay the same 0.1% on spot trades. On futures, Bybit takes 0.02% when you place a limit order and 0.055% when you buy or sell at market, so active futures traders pay little. Bybit has no Moroccan licence because no authority there issues one, which leaves no local regulator behind your account.
You can deposit by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer or SWIFT and withdraw by crypto, bank transfer, SEPA, Pix or Zen, and ID checks are mandatory; in the Office des Changes' view, funding crypto from a bank account or card in Morocco breaches foreign-exchange rules. Bybit launched in 2018, is based in Dubai and was co-founded by Ben Zhou, who is also its CEO. In February 2025 hackers took over $1.5 billion, and although Bybit restored all users' funds within 72 hours, the size of that loss shows how much can be at risk on a single exchange.
Key points
Coin choice is KuCoin's big draw, with 814 coins on spot, so if you hunt for small or new tokens you are more likely to find them here. KuCoin lists futures on 677 coins, capped at 125x leverage, alongside margin trading, a P2P market and staking.
Popular coins carry a single 0.1% rate on both sides of the trade, but less-traded tokens are charged 0.2% or 0.3%, so check a coin's fee class before you trade it. KuCoin's futures fees are 0.02% if your order rests on the book and 0.06% if it fills immediately. KuCoin has no Moroccan licence, since no authority issues one.
Deposits run through card, bank transfer, Apple Pay, Google Pay, providers such as Banxa and Simplex, or P2P, and cash-outs through crypto, SEPA, Volet, Faster Payments or P2P. You must pass an ID and face check before you can deposit or trade. KuCoin dates from 2017, has its base in Seychelles, was co-founded by Michael Gan and has BC Wong as CEO. A leaked hot wallet key led to large withdrawals in 2020, and in January 2025 KuCoin pleaded guilty in the United States to running an unlicensed money-transmitting business, which raises real questions about how carefully it follows the rules.
Key points
Kraken's appeal is trust: it has a long track record, publishes proof of reserves and has never lost customer assets to a hack, which matters if you plan to keep money on an exchange. You get 679 coins on spot and futures on 177 coins, with a leverage ceiling of 50x, along with staking and a demo account, but no copy trading or bots.
Spot is expensive at 0.4% for makers and 0.8% for takers, so frequent buyers pay noticeably more per trade. Kraken's futures are cheap too: a limit order costs 0.02%, a market order 0.05%. Kraken's licences elsewhere do not reach Morocco, where no authority licences exchanges.
You can fund with card, Apple Pay, bank transfer, PayPal or Google Pay and withdraw by crypto, bank transfer, card or PayPal, but paying for crypto with a Moroccan payment method goes against the Office des Changes' position, and ID and a face check are required. Kraken was started in 2011 and is headquartered in San Francisco, USA; Jesse Powell co-founded it, and David Ripley now runs it as CEO. In June 2024 security firm CertiK used a bug to take $3 million from Kraken's treasury and later returned it with no customer assets touched, so for you the bigger risk is high spot fees eating into small, frequent trades.
Key points
Nobody here lists more coins than MEXC, with 1,320 on spot and 614 on futures, and new tokens often appear here first, which suits someone chasing early listings. Leverage goes up to 200x, and you also get copy trading, bots, a demo account, staking and prediction markets.
It is also the cheapest: makers pay 0% and takers 0.05% on spot, while futures charge 0% to limit orders and 0.02% to market ones. There is no Moroccan licence behind it, and many small listings trade thinly, so check the order book before buying an obscure coin.
Deposits work by card, bank transfer, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and providers such as MoonPay, and withdrawals by crypto, bank transfer, SEPA or Pix, though the Office des Changes says using a Moroccan card or transfer to buy crypto breaks the rules. KYC is mandatory, and basic verification limits fiat to P2P. MEXC opened in 2018 and operates from Singapore; its co-founder John Chen also serves as CEO. There are many reported cases of MEXC withholding customer funds, so you could find your money stuck just when you want it back.
Key points
Copy trading is what Bitget is known for: you can mirror experienced traders automatically, which appeals if you would rather follow than trade yourself. Spot covers 507 coins, while 478 coins trade as futures at leverage reaching 125x; bots, a demo account, staking, loans and P2P round it out.
Spot trades carry a flat 0.1% whether you make or take liquidity, and futures charge 0.02% on limit orders versus 0.06% at market, in line with most rivals. Bitget holds licences in some countries but none that covers Morocco, so there is no local body you can turn to.
Deposits run by card, bank transfer, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Zen or Pix, but withdrawals only by crypto, SEPA or Pix, and funding crypto from a Moroccan card or transfer falls foul of the Office des Changes; ID verification is required. Founded in 2018 and based in Singapore, Bitget was co-founded by Sandra Lou, and its chief executive is Gracy Chen. On 25 September 2026 it reported unauthorised transfers of about $351.6 million from some hot and warm wallets and suspended withdrawals during the investigation, so any money you deposit cannot come out until withdrawals resume, even though Bitget says its User Protection Fund covers the loss.
Key points
OKX suits traders who want options as well as futures: options cover 4 coins, futures cover 485 coins at leverage of up to 125x, and deep liquidity sits behind both. Spot is smaller at 298 coins, and there is copy trading, staking, P2P and a demo account.
On spot, OKX charges 0.2% to makers and 0.35% to takers, so buying and holding costs more here than on most rivals. OKX futures fees are low, with 0.02% on limit trades and 0.05% when you trade at market price. OKX has no Moroccan licence, since none exists, so no Moroccan authority protects your account.
It takes deposits by card, bank transfer, Zen or P2P and has the widest cash-out choice here, including bank transfer, card, PayPal and P2P, though the Office des Changes regards crypto bought through a local bank or card as a breach; KYC is mandatory. OKX started out in 2017, has its headquarters in Seychelles, and co-founder Star Xu leads it as CEO. The exchange itself has never been hacked directly, but its DEX lost $2.7 million in a 2023 exploit through a compromised admin key, so its on-chain products carry risks your exchange account does not.
Key points
For a first purchase, Coinbase has the simplest app here, which suits beginners more than active traders. It lists 402 coins on spot and futures on 131 with up to 10x leverage, the lowest cap here, plus staking and prediction markets but no copy trading, bots or demo account.
That simplicity costs money: a maker pays 0.4% per spot trade and a taker 0.6%, which adds up fast if you trade often. Coinbase futures are cheap, with one 0.05% rate covering both makers and takers. Coinbase is regulated in the United States, but that does not cover Morocco, where no authority licences exchanges.
Deposits come in by card, PayPal or SEPA, and withdrawals go out via SEPA, ACH, SWIFT, bank transfer or crypto, while buying crypto with a Moroccan card conflicts with the Office des Changes' rules; ID and a face check are required. Coinbase launched in 2012 and runs as a remote company with no single head office; its co-founder Brian Armstrong holds the CEO role. In spring 2021 more than 6,000 customers had their accounts compromised, so your own login is a real weak point and you should turn on two-factor authentication and a withdrawal whitelist.

Our editorial team selected, tested and ranked the best crypto exchanges for traders in Morocco. We picked exchanges that accept users in Morocco and ordered them on the whole package rather than a formula. The order is our editors’ judgment of that whole package, while the CWR Score on each card rates that exchange on its own, so some exchanges placed lower have a higher score.
No. Morocco’s financial authorities don’t allow people to use crypto. In November 2017 the Office des Changes, which enforces the country’s foreign-exchange rules, said transactions made with virtual currencies break those rules and can lead to penalties and fines, because financial transactions with other countries must go through approved intermediaries and use foreign currencies quoted by Bank Al-Maghrib. In April 2022 Bank Al-Maghrib, the capital markets authority (AMMC) and the Office des Changes repeated the warning and said they prohibit the use of virtual currencies.
No authority licenses crypto exchanges in Morocco. The government has published a draft law on crypto-assets (No. 42.25) for public comment, and in December 2025 the AMMC said it was preparing for a future legal framework for crypto-assets. Official sources checked don’t show that law in force as of 30 September 2026, so the prohibition stated by the authorities still stands.
In practice, there is no lawful local route to buy crypto from Morocco today. No exchange, Moroccan or foreign, can hold a Moroccan licence because no authority issues one, and paying an exchange with a Moroccan bank card or bank transfer is exactly the kind of transaction the Office des Changes says breaks foreign-exchange rules. Using any exchange in this ranking would therefore mean acting outside the rules, with no local regulator to turn to if an account is frozen or funds go missing. A legal framework for crypto-assets is being prepared, but until it takes effect the prohibition stands, and waiting for that framework is the safer choice.
BingX offers the best mix for traders in Morocco who want low futures fees, a big coin list and tools such as copy trading and demo trading, while Bybit is stronger for options and deep derivatives markets and Kraken suits anyone who values a long, clean record over cheap spot fees. Avoid depositing with Bitget while its withdrawals are suspended, and weigh MEXC’s low fees against the reports of withheld funds. Whatever you choose, Morocco’s authorities currently prohibit the use of crypto and no exchange holds a local licence, so any account you open sits outside Moroccan rules and protection.
No. The Office des Changes treats transactions made with virtual currencies as a breach of foreign-exchange rules, and Bank Al-Maghrib and the capital markets authority back that prohibition. A legal framework for crypto-assets is being prepared, but it is not in force yet, so the ban still stands.
No. No authority in Morocco licences crypto exchanges, so none of the exchanges in this ranking holds a Moroccan licence, whatever licences it has in other countries.
MEXC charges 0% for spot makers and 0.05% for spot takers, and 0.01% and 0.04% on futures. Many users have reported MEXC withholding their funds, though, so low fees come with a real trust risk.
Coinbase has the simplest app, but its spot fees are high. BingX, Bybit, Bitget and MEXC offer demo accounts, so you can practise with virtual money before risking your own.
Withdrawal options on these exchanges are mostly crypto, SEPA and Pix, and some also offer bank transfer, card or PayPal. Any transaction between a Moroccan bank and a crypto exchange falls under the Office des Changes' position that virtual-currency transactions break foreign-exchange rules.
Bitget reported unauthorised transfers of about 351.6 million dollars from some of its hot and warm wallets and has suspended withdrawals during the investigation. It says user balances remain secure and that its User Protection Fund covers the loss, but any money you deposit cannot be withdrawn until withdrawals resume.
