Despite kraken having the first movers advantage in the US how did coinbase become the biggest US exchange?

/ethereum foundation | opinions are my own but more than likely they come from Vitalik's blog paragraph.xyz/@chaskin

Imo, Coinbase just had the better UX!  I remember years ago Coinbase allowed ACH transfers and market orders while Kraken required bank wires and limit orders.

Feels like nobody in EU is using that either. I didn’t check any stats though.

i didn't even know this was the case. i always thought kraken was a more EU focused cex

Hot takes should be in /product too. I had always seen and perceived Kraken as European. That says something.

How did Facebook beat friendster or Google beat yahoo. Second mover is sometimes more advantageous.
