Which one should you pick?
Pick Extended if
Fee level is your deciding criterion and you want crypto and RWA markets on the same account.
The cheapest taker fee in the series at 0.025%, on a venue built by an ex-Revolut team that settles entirely on Arc, the L1 developed by Circle. Deposits are accepted from seven EVM chains in USDC, ETH or cirBTC, which removes the usual bridging detour.

Pick Veranta if
You want one account for FX, equities, commodities and crypto, and you are willing to trade the balancing side to pay almost nothing.
Avantis became Veranta, and the model stayed the same: an AMM-style venue where your fee depends on which side of the market you take, from 0.001% when you balance open interest to 0.045% when you add to it. Leverage reaches 500x on FX majors and 250x on blue-chip crypto through Upside Perps.
