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: Is the spot fee really zero? Zero for the maker — an order that rests in the book and fills. Buying at market makes you a taker, paying the normal rate, though one of the lowest around.

BingX: Are there trading bots? Yes, grid strategies on spot are configured right in the interface, with no third-party services.

BingX: How does copy trading here differ from elsewhere? In presentation: BingX wraps a public feed around trades, so you can follow traders without copying them. The statistics are open — returns, drawdown, style and full history for each.

BingX: What do withdrawals cost? From 0.01 USDT on Aptos, which is cheap. Eleven networks in total, with live figures for each in the table at the top of this page.

Both at once

Nothing stops you from opening an account on both: it is free, and a pair of venues almost always beats any single one on price. The coin is bought where it already trades, moved across and shorted with a contract on the other — that locks the price while the transfer runs.
