Compared by the numbers

These figures come from the venues themselves. Volume is missing on purpose: every exchange counts it its own way, and on a few the top of the book is tokenised equities. The bottom row counts the P2P currencies our scanner reaches, not everything the venue lists.

In short: the difference

What MEXC is: a venue that lists early and often. On the market since 2018, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own MX token.

What Ourbit is: an exchange that covers several jobs at once. .

What MEXC gives you

The rival’s service list is wide, yet MEXC wins on other things: 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 Ourbit gives you

Against an early-listing venue, Ourbit plays a different game: A venue that calls itself a SuperCEX and bets on breadth: fifteen hundred spot pairs against USDT and over seven hundred perpetual contracts, each publishing its funding rate and mark price. Listings are quick, with plenty of fresh and meme coins. Data is served openly and in full — spot with best quotes, and contracts — which makes its prices sound to compare with other venues.

Strong sides: 1500+ USDT pairs and 700+ contracts, best quotes and rates served as one list, fast listings of new coins.

What decides it

  • Native token. MX on MEXC cuts fees and opens launches; Ourbit has no such lever.
  • Strengths side by side. MEXC: a zero maker fee, free withdrawals on Plasma, early listings, 1500 spot pairs; Ourbit: 1500+ USDT pairs and 700+ contracts, best quotes and rates served as one list, fast listings of new coins.
  • Which job. MEXC is for anyone chasing new coins and working from a wide list, while Ourbit is as an early-listing venue and a leg in cross-venue routes.
  • Worth remembering. MEXC: among thousands of pairs many are very thin: check the book before size. Ourbit: the network and withdrawal-fee directory sits behind a key, so we do not show a transfer status for it.

Which one fits you

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

Ourbit — as an early-listing venue and a leg in cross-venue routes.

What people ask most

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.

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.

Ourbit: Why do Ourbit routes show a question mark instead of a transfer status? The venue does not openly publish which networks accept deposits and withdrawals, or what a transfer costs. We will not present a guess as a fact.

Ourbit: What is Ourbit’s funding interval? Most often eight hours, and the exchange states it per contract along with the next payout time, so we annualise from the real interval.

Ourbit: How does Ourbit differ from MEXC? The interface and API shape are close, but they are different venues with different listings and different book depth. Our exchange comparison puts their live numbers side by side.

Both at once

You do not have to pick one. Two accounts give you a fallback when the coin or network you need exists only on the other venue. A rare coin is bought where it exists and moved to the ecosystem — easier to hold, stake or sell into a deeper book there.
