BTC/USDT
BTC/USDTLiquidity: OKX leadsOKX 1 : 0
24h volume at OKX is $1.99B 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: OKX is cheaperOKX 2 : 1
USDT withdrawal (ERC20): 0,4 USDT at OKX versus 5,5 USDT at Kucoin. Also USDT withdrawal (TRC20): 1,5 USDT at OKX versus 1,99 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.
Assets: level1 : 1
Coins listed: 302 at OKX versus 841 at Kucoin. Both exchanges offer roughly the same choice.
Active trading pairs are counted from the instrument lists of the exchanges themselves where they publish them, coin counts come from CoinGecko. If you need a specific coin, check its availability on each venue separately.
Reliability: OKX leadsOKX 2 : 0
Verified reserves: $31.29B at OKX versus $3.43B at Kucoin. Also Trust score: 10 at OKX versus 9 at Kucoin.
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: that is not a difference that changes anything in practice.
Community: Kucoin is more active on KurslogKucoin 1 : 0
Reviews on Kurslog: 3 at Kucoin 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 OKX versus Yes at Kucoin. Feature-wise the exchanges do not differ. Also Copy trading: Yes at OKX versus Yes at Kucoin.
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.

The winner of each metric is calculated, not editorially chosen. This is not investment advice.
