BTC/USDT
BTC/USDTLiquidity: Binance leadsBinance 4 : 0
BTC/USDT spread at Binance is 0,0012 bps versus 0,0137 bps at OKX. Also 24h volume: $10.25B at Binance versus $1.99B at OKX.
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: OKX is cheaperOKX 2 : 1
Maker fee: 0,08 % at OKX versus 0,10 % at Binance. Also USDT withdrawal (ERC20): 0,4 USDT at OKX versus 0,5 USDT at Binance.
Spot maker and taker fees are the base tier without discounts, taken from exchange fee pages. USDT withdrawal fees refresh from exchange APIs every 6 hours; if an exchange does not publish them without an API key, the row is skipped. Active traders care about maker and taker, occasional transfers care about the withdrawal fee.
Assets: more at BinanceBinance 2 : 0
Coins listed: 486 at Binance versus 302 at OKX. Also Trading pairs: 1 376 at Binance versus 1 168 at OKX.
Active trading pairs are counted from the instrument lists of the exchanges themselves where they publish them, coin counts come from CoinGecko, supported networks from the Kurslog catalog. More coins means a wider choice of altcoins; more pairs makes cross trading possible without an intermediate swap.
Reliability: both stable0 : 0
Trust score: 10 at Binance versus 10 at OKX. Both exchanges pass our monitoring without a meaningful gap. Also 30-day uptime: 99,8 % at Binance versus 99,8 % at OKX.
Uptime is measured over 30 days of Kurslog monitoring with a check every 15 minutes, founding year and proof of reserves come from the catalog, trust score from CoinGecko. A one-year gap or 0.2% of uptime counts as a tie.
Community: Binance is more active on KurslogBinance 1 : 0
Reviews on Kurslog: 4 at Binance versus 2 at OKX.
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.
Languages and features: the same set0 : 0
P2P with local currencies: Yes at Binance versus Yes at OKX. Feature-wise the exchanges do not differ. Also Copy trading: Yes at Binance versus Yes at OKX.
P2P with local currencies, copy trading and the number of interface languages are entered into the Kurslog catalog manually from official exchange pages. Mandatory verification is shown as a fact without a winner: for some it is protection, for others an extra step.
