Exchange comparison for arbitrage

Nine venues measured on the numbers that decide a route: what the withdrawal costs, which networks it is even possible on, and where the coin trades at all.

Why this comparison is different

The usual exchange round-up is a static table copied from press releases. A month later half its numbers are wrong, and the most important one is missing entirely. We took another route: everything measurable here is measured by our own collectors and refreshes itself.

The key figure is the withdrawal fee. Almost no comparison shows it, yet it decides whether anything is left of the spread. The gap between networks can be a hundredfold: moving USDT over BSC costs pennies, over Ethereum a dollar or more. On a hundred-dollar position that turns a winning route into a losing one.

How to read the table

  • USDT pairs — how many coins actually trade against the dollar right now.
  • USDT networks — how many blockchains the venue accepts and sends USDT on.
  • USDT withdrawal — the cheapest available network and its price.
  • Futures — perpetual contract count; relevant for funding arbitrage.
  • P2P — how many fiat currencies the internal marketplace covers.

There are no rankings here by design. Exchanges are not better or worse than each other — they are different, and a route normally involves at least two of them.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the numbers come from?

The same sources that feed our scanners: public exchange interfaces and our own read-only keys. Fees, networks and pair counts refresh several times an hour.

Why is the fee missing for some venues?

Gate does not publish withdrawal fees for every network. Where the exchange stays silent we show a dash rather than substituting someone else’s number.

Why is there no trading-fee column?

Because it cannot be shown honestly: it depends on volume, account tier and paying in the venue’s own token, and half of the public fee pages sit behind a login.

Are the exchange links referral links?

No. The links go straight to the exchanges’ sites and carry no partner tags.

Where to start choosing

Three breakdowns built on live figures: how many pairs a venue lists, whether ordinary money goes in directly and what a withdrawal costs.

Exchange comparisons

Asking «this exchange or that one» usually means the choice is already down to two. We compare such pairs on what actually decides it.

Binance or BybitThe biggest exchange in the world against the best derivatives terminal. A feature-by-feature look at what each one gives you.Binance or OKXTwo venues with genuinely deep books. A look at what each one does and why people keep both.Binance or MEXCDepth and ecosystem against early listings and a zero maker fee. A look at when each one pays off.Bybit or OKXThe best derivatives terminal against the most complete ecosystem. A feature-by-feature look at where the line falls.MEXC or GateThe two exchanges with the widest coin selection. A look at how they differ when both listings are enormous.Binance or KuCoinThe default venue against the exchange with the best trading bots. A look at what keeps people on the second one.Binance or BitgetThe largest exchange against the largest copy-trading venue. A feature-by-feature look at who needs the second one.Bybit or BitgetTwo venues that grew out of derivatives from opposite directions. A look at where the line falls.OKX or MEXCA dense book and a Web3 wallet against a zero maker fee and coins before everyone else. A look at which matters more in your case.KuCoin or GateBoth live off coins the top three do not carry. A look at how they differ from each other.Binance or KrakenThe largest crypto exchange against the oldest regulated one. These are two different ways to hold money — here is both.MEXC or LBankBoth live off coins the top three do not yet carry. A look at how they differ from each other.WEEX or ToobitTwo young derivatives-first venues. A look at what each one is useful for.Bybit or WEEXA mature derivatives venue against a younger, more flexible one. A look at what each one offers.Binance or WhiteBITThe largest venue against a European one with Ukrainian roots. The choice here is not about size.Kraken or WhiteBITTwo venues with genuine registration rather than an offshore address. The difference is which money they are tied to.WEEX vs KrakenThese two venues solve different problems, and choosing between them is really choosing how your money gets into crypto. On WEEX that means other people’s ads in almost ninety currencies; on Kraken, a transfer straight from your bank.Toobit vs KrakenChoosing between these two is not a matter of better or worse but of timing. On Toobit a new coin appears within days; on Kraken, after a review — and both of those speeds are what somebody needs.Binance vs GateGate catches new listings first; Binance lets you fill a large order without slippage. That is the whole fork.Binance vs HTXBinance and HTX both cover almost any job, so the choice is not the feature list but what you actually use daily.Binance vs BingXBinance does everything and does it on the deepest market; BingX focuses on leveraged trading.
