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

WEEX is a derivatives terminal. On the market since 2018, jurisdiction: Singapore, its own WXT token.

Hotcoin is an exchange that covers several jobs at once. .

What WEEX gives you

Compared with an ecosystem, WEEX leans on its own strengths: A young venue that grew fast: seventeen hundred spot pairs and a thousand perpetuals, more than many long-established names. There is P2P in dozens of currencies, copy trading, savings and its own WXT token. The exchange is known for the user protection fund it holds publicly.

Strong sides: 1700 spot pairs and 1000 contracts, a broad P2P, a public protection fund.

What Hotcoin gives you

The terminal is strong on contracts, but Hotcoin has its own ground: A venue with some three hundred and fifty spot pairs against USDT and meaningful turnover on the major coins. Best quotes and 24-hour turnover come openly in one response, which makes its prices sound to compare with other venues. The futures interface is closed to outside requests, so the venue is absent from our funding section.

Strong sides: 350+ USDT pairs, best quotes served as one list, meaningful turnover on major coins.

What decides it

  • Native token. WXT on WEEX cuts fees and opens launches; Hotcoin has no such lever.
  • Strengths side by side. WEEX: 1700 spot pairs and 1000 contracts, a broad P2P, a public protection fund; Hotcoin: 350+ USDT pairs, best quotes served as one list, meaningful turnover on major coins.
  • Which job. WEEX is for anyone who needs a wide choice of pairs and a live P2P in their currency, while Hotcoin is as an extra side in spot routes.
  • Worth remembering. WEEX: eleven withdrawal networks — fewer than the largest venues. Hotcoin: the futures interface is closed to outside requests, and quote sizes are not published.

Which one fits you

WEEX — for anyone who needs a wide choice of pairs and a live P2P in their currency.

Hotcoin — as an extra side in spot routes.

What people ask most

WEEX: Do I need an API key for you to show WEEX data? No. The exchange serves all market data publicly, and our scanner works without keys and without access to anyone’s account.

WEEX: Does WEEX have an official YouTube channel? We checked the link in the weex.com footer in September 2026: it leads to a channel holding no videos that does not belong to the exchange. So we link no video here, and suggest taking instructions from the help centre linked below.

WEEX: Is WEEX worth it for arbitrage? As a source of divergence, yes: the books are thinner than at large venues and prices stray from the market more often.

Hotcoin: Why is Hotcoin missing from funding and triangular arbitrage? Its futures interface is closed to outside requests — the exchange plainly answers that the API is not open. And triangular routes need the size at the best quote, which the venue does not publish.

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

Both at once

Most people end up keeping both: one for daily trades, the other for what the first one lacks. Spot and earn stay on the ecosystem, contracts on the terminal. Moving between them costs pennies on the right network.

Live numbers

Everything in the table above is recomputed together with the rest of the site — pairs, contracts, P2P, networks and the withdrawal fee. WEEX and Hotcoin can be compared on facts rather than promises.

What the numbers say

Only WEEX gives a measurable USDT withdrawal: 0.0150 over OPTIMISM. P2P advertisements reach us from WEEX alone: 89 currencies. WEEX gives 4.4× the choice on spot: 1,601 USDT pairs against 362.

It is the same choice whichever way round you write it. The comparison above is built on what can be measured: fees, pair counts, withdrawal chains and funding routes. Look less at which venue is "better" in general and more at which of those matters to you.
