Bybit$11.3M

24h volume
Bybit$1.71B
OKX$1.99B

Order book depth ±0.5% at OKX is $18.7M versus $11.3M at Bybit. Also 24h volume: $1.99B at OKX versus $1.71B at Bybit.

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.

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.
