LBank
BigONEIn short: the difference
What LBank is: the place where new coins show up first. On the market since 2015, jurisdiction: British Virgin Islands, its own LBK token.
What BigONE is: an ecosystem with its own set of services. On the market since 2017, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own ONE token.
What LBank gives you
The rival’s service list is wide, yet LBank wins on other things: One of the elder Asian venues, running since 2015. Eight hundred and thirty perpetuals and a broad P2P across dozens of currencies — stronger than many of its contemporaries on both counts. There is savings, staking and its own LBK token. The exchange is known for early listings: new coins land here before the majors.
Strong sides: 830 perpetuals, a broad P2P, early listings, running since 2015.
What BigONE gives you
Against an early-listing venue, BigONE plays a different game: BigONE has been running since 2017, founded by people who came from the Yunbi exchange. Spot stands at nine hundred pairs, derivatives at a hundred perpetuals with a rate, an accrual interval and a mark price on each. Margin trading, leveraged tokens, staking and its own ONE token for discounts sit alongside. Everything is served openly, including the size of the best quotes.
Strong sides: ~900 pairs and 100 contracts, best quotes with sizes, an open network directory with withdrawal fees, the ONE token for discounts.
What decides it
- Jurisdiction. LBank sits in British Virgin Islands, BigONE in Seychelles. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native tokens. LBank has LBK, BigONE has ONE: holders usually get fee discounts and access to launches.
- Strengths side by side. LBank: 830 perpetuals, a broad P2P, early listings, running since 2015; BigONE: ~900 pairs and 100 contracts, best quotes with sizes, an open network directory with withdrawal fees, the ONE token for discounts.
- Which job. LBank is for funding, P2P and finding fresh coins, while BigONE is as an additional venue in spot routes and funding.
- Worth remembering. LBank: we do not show it in cross-exchange spot arbitrage: it serves its book one pair per request. BigONE: the top of the book is thin: on major coins the best price often holds only a hundred dollars or two.
Which one fits you
LBank — for funding, P2P and finding fresh coins.
BigONE — as an additional venue in spot routes and funding.
What people ask most
LBank: Where is P2P on LBank? At a path like /crypto/buy. It covers around fifty currencies, and the ads flow into our rates and routes sections automatically.
LBank: Why look at LBank when the large exchanges exist? For early listings of small coins, which often appear here first. The trade-off is a thin book, so entering with size is risky.
LBank: Why are LBank prices missing from spot arbitrage? Because it serves its order book one symbol per request, and a spread computed from last-trade prices is not one you can fill. LBank is present in funding, P2P and the crypto-rally section.
BigONE: Why are spreads on BigONE often large? Because the top of the book is thin: the size at the best price is often a hundred dollars or two. The percentage on screen is real, but it fills only for that much. Use the «depth» button before trading.
BigONE: Is the transfer status visible for BigONE? Yes, in full. The venue publishes networks, deposit and withdrawal statuses and the fee per chain, so its routes carry the ordinary transfer badge and the fee is subtracted from the net spread straight away.
BigONE: Does BigONE take part in your arbitrage sections? Yes, all of them. The exchange serves best quotes together with their sizes, so we can compute both the spread and the ceiling it fills at — which matters especially on a venue like this.
Both at once
Keeping both costs less than it seems: signing up is free, and a choice of two quotes usually beats one. A rare coin is bought where it exists and moved to the ecosystem — easier to hold, stake or sell into a deeper book there.
