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

First in the pair, Ourbit, is a venue that doubles as a toolkit. .

Second in the pair, Pionex, is an exchange that covers several jobs at once. .

What Ourbit gives you

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

Compared with an ecosystem, Pionex leans on its own strengths: What matters at Pionex is the bots: grid, averaging and arbitrage are built in and free. The spot side is small, just over three hundred USDT pairs, but the best quotes come with their volume attached — a rarity among exchanges. Liquidity is aggregated from the majors, which keeps prices tight to the market.

Strong sides: 300+ pairs with open sizes at the quote, built-in trading bots at no charge, prices close to the major venues.

What decides it

  • Strengths side by side. Ourbit: 1500+ USDT pairs and 700+ contracts, best quotes and rates served as one list, fast listings of new coins; Pionex: 300+ pairs with open sizes at the quote, built-in trading bots at no charge, prices close to the major venues.
  • Which job. Ourbit is as an early-listing venue and a leg in cross-venue routes, while Pionex is as a bot-driven venue with even prices, handy for triangular routes.
  • Worth remembering. Ourbit: the network and withdrawal-fee directory sits behind a key, so we do not show a transfer status for it. Pionex: funding rates for its perpetuals are not served as a list, so the venue is absent from funding.

Which one fits you

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

Pionex — as a bot-driven venue with even prices, handy for triangular routes.

What people ask most

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: How many pairs and contracts does Ourbit have? By our measurements around fifteen hundred spot pairs against USDT and over seven hundred perpetual contracts. The figures are live and refresh with the data.

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.

Pionex: How many pairs does Pionex have? By our measurements a little over three hundred spot pairs against USDT. The figure is live and refreshes with the data.

Pionex: Why does Pionex rarely show large spreads? Because the venue aggregates liquidity from the large exchanges and its prices are designed to track the market. That is a drawback for gap-hunting and an advantage for fill reliability.

Pionex: What makes Pionex useful for triangular arbitrage? It publishes the size at the best price. Without that number there is no saying how large a route can fill, and venues that withhold it do not enter the triangular section at all.

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. It makes sense to split the jobs: spot and earn on one, bots and launches on the other. Balances are pre-funded, so no transfer is needed at the moment of a trade.

Live numbers

The table above is built from our own market snapshots: USDT pairs, perpetual contracts, P2P ads and currencies, withdrawal networks and the cheapest one. Ourbit and Pionex can be compared on facts rather than promises.

What the numbers say

Spot is wider on Ourbit: 1,400 USDT pairs against 311, a gap of 4.5×. The USDT withdrawal cost is absent from open data for both Ourbit and Pionex. That is their disclosure choice rather than a gap in our collection: neither reference carries a fee field at all.
