What KCEX is
KCEX has been running since 2021 and is registered in Seychelles. It is first of all a futures venue: by our measurements it carries over eight hundred perpetual contracts, and for each one the exchange openly publishes the funding rate, the interval it accrues on and the mark price. There is spot too — around eight hundred and fifty pairs.
What the venue sells itself on is zero spot fees and low futures rates. In our tables the fee is yours to set in the «trade fee» field, so you can see exactly how it moves the net spread.
What is on offer
Futures — over eight hundred perpetual contracts, each stating its rate and next accrual time.
Spot — around eight hundred and fifty pairs, mostly against USDT.
Copy trading — mirroring the platform’s traders.
Launches — an early-listing section.
How KCEX feeds our scanners
In funding and futures arbitrage the venue takes part in full: contracts arrive as one list, rate and mark price included.
Spot is harder, and it is worth saying plainly. KCEX serves best quotes one pair per request and limits how often you may ask. Polling eight hundred pairs on every refresh is impossible, and substituting the last trade price for a book is something we will not do: you cannot buy at it, and the spread would be fiction. So for KCEX we keep the top hundred pairs by turnover under watch and walk them with a dedicated collector in step with the shared snapshot. Those pairs are what take part in spot arbitrage, triangular routes and stablecoin monitoring. The venue’s turnover sits in that hundred anyway, so beyond it the spread would not fill.
Why KCEX routes show a question mark
The exchange does not publish deposit and withdrawal status per network: whether a transfer is open, and what it costs, is absent from its public responses. We will not guess, so the transfer badge on those routes reads «unknown». If you see no KCEX rows while the «working transfers only» filter is on, that is why — not because transfers are closed. Check the status in the exchange’s own account area before trading.
Who it suits
Anyone trading futures and building delta-neutral routes: the contract list is wide and the data comes without keys or sign-up.
