Volume, order book and open interest come from exchange APIs and aggregators and are averaged, so one lucky day decides nothing. For a purchase of a few hundred dollars the difference is invisible, but a large order fills at market depth: the more liquidity, the less is lost to slippage.

Fees: Binance is cheaperBinance 3 : 1

Spot maker and taker fees are the base tier without discounts, taken from exchange fee pages.

Active traders care about maker and taker, occasional transfers care about the withdrawal fee.

Reviews on Kurslog: 4 at Binance versus 3 at Bybit.

These are verified reviews from Kurslog users: nothing gets here without moderation. A rating built on a handful of reviews is fragile and a few new ones can move it, so look at what people write, not only at the average.

Bybit is my favorite for earning extra with staking and earn products. Lots of options for passive income, and the interface is user-friendly. Withdrawals are smooth, no hassles so far!

Spread, order book depth and pair volume come straight from public exchange APIs every 10 minutes and are averaged over 7 days; USDT withdrawal fees come from exchange APIs every 6 hours; uptime from Kurslog monitoring; exchange volume, trust score and coin count from CoinGecko; fee tiers, languages and features are entered manually from official exchange pages. The winner of each metric is calculated, not editorially chosen. This is not investment advice.
