Bitvavo review
MiCA (EU) CASP
Bitvavo is one of the cheapest MiCA-licensed ways to buy crypto with euros, with free SEPA deposits and a 0.25% taker fee at the entry tier. It has no futures, charges 1% on card and PayPal deposits and keeps a large share of staking rewards.

Gemini is a well-regulated US exchange with no known hack, with a qualified custodian and a broad product range, but its entry-level fees are among the highest in the market and it has left the UK and the EU.
