For a rare coin go to MEXC; for bots and earn go to BigONE. They overlap less than it looks.

Compared by the numbers

Collected straight from the exchanges. Volume is deliberately left out: venues count it differently, and on some the top of the list is tokenised equities. The last row is our advertisement scanner’s coverage, not the venue’s full currency list, which is wider.

In short: the difference

What MEXC is: the place where new coins show up first. On the market since 2018, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own MX token.

What BigONE is: an exchange with services around the trading. On the market since 2017, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own ONE token.

What MEXC gives you

Compared with an ecosystem, MEXC leans on its own strengths: The early-listing venue: fifteen hundred spot pairs and over a thousand perpetuals, among the broadest we cover. New coins land here before they reach the majors. There is P2P, savings and staking, Kickstarter launches and copy trading. The spot maker fee is zero, and USDT withdrawals on Plasma are free.

Strong sides: a zero maker fee, free withdrawals on Plasma, early listings, 1500 spot pairs.

What BigONE gives you

Early listings are not the only argument; BigONE answers with its own: 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

  • Native tokens. MEXC has MX, BigONE has ONE: holders usually get fee discounts and access to launches.
  • Strengths side by side. MEXC: a zero maker fee, free withdrawals on Plasma, early listings, 1500 spot pairs; BigONE: ~900 pairs and 100 contracts, best quotes with sizes, an open network directory with withdrawal fees, the ONE token for discounts.
  • Which job. MEXC is for anyone chasing new coins and working from a wide list, while BigONE is as an additional venue in spot routes and funding.
  • Worth remembering. MEXC: among thousands of pairs many are very thin: check the book before size. 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

MEXC — for anyone chasing new coins and working from a wide list.

BigONE — as an additional venue in spot routes and funding.

What people ask most

MEXC: Is MEXC good for arbitrage? For same-venue arbitrage, yes, thanks to the zero maker fee. For cross-venue you must watch volume: on thin pairs a visible price gap is often unfillable.

MEXC: Can I trade without verification? Spot is available with daily withdrawal limits. Lifting them, and P2P, require verification.

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.

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: 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.

Both at once

Most people end up keeping both: one for daily trades, the other for what the first one lacks. A rare coin is bought where it exists and moved to the ecosystem — easier to hold, stake or sell into a deeper book there.
