BTC/USDTLiquidity: Bybit leadsBybit 2 : 0
BTC/USDT 24h volume at Bybit is $687.0M versus $425.5M at Kucoin. Also 24h volume: $1.71B at Bybit versus $1.34B at Kucoin.
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: Bybit is cheaperBybit 3 : 1
USDT withdrawal (ERC20): 0,8 USDT at Bybit versus 5,5 USDT at Kucoin. Also USDT withdrawal (BEP20): 0,15 USDT at Bybit versus 1 USDT at Kucoin.
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.
