Bybit vs OKX: fees, withdrawal costs, products, licenses, security record and support side by side — every value linked to its official source.
This is a mechanical count of per-row results with no weights and no composite score. Which exchange suits you depends on which rows matter to you.
Every sentence is generated from the values in the table below — nothing is added that the data does not show.

Bybit — Non-VIP tier. No MNT discount applied. Official fee pages /en/fee/spot and /en/fee/futures (the old announcement-info/fee-rate URL now redirects to /en/fee/futures). Re-verified 2026-10-12 by weekly review in-browser: Spot Crypto Pairs "Regular User" 0.1% maker / 0.1% taker (0.075% after MNT discount, not used); Futures Standard Crypto "Regular User" 0.02% maker / 0.055% taker (0.018%/0.0495% after MNT discount, not used). Founded March 2018; global HQ moved to Dubai (opened Apr 2023). listed_coins = 398 distinct spot base coins from the public v5 instruments-info endpoint (538 pairs, 2026-09-15). futures_max_leverage = 100x for BTCUSDT perpetual at the lowest risk-limit tier (USDC perpetuals go to 125x, excluded as the USDT-margined figure is the comparable one). Fiat: bank-card buy, fiat deposit to Funding Account (bank transfer), P2P, and third-party one-click buy partners. Bybit.com blocks automated fetches; values above were confirmed in-browser from the official fee rate page (2026-09-23). active_users_claimed = "80M users" per the official 80M-users celebration announcement (Jan 2026). [Withdrawal fees checked 2026-10-28 via the data feed behind the official Crypto Deposit/Withdrawal Status page (read in-browser; returns 403 to non-browser clients): BTC 0.000057 BTC on BTC; USDT 1.3 USDT on TRON (TRC20) (cheapest: BERA (USDT0) 0). The exchange adjusts them with network conditions.]
OKX — Regular user tier (assets < 100,000 USD and 30-day volume below the VIP 1 threshold). No token-discount applied. Spot and perpetual futures tabs of the official trading-fee page. Re-verified 2026-10-12 by weekly review in-browser (Asia IP; the CI runner gets the OKX US table and cannot confirm): Spot Standard "Regular user" 0.0800% / 0.1000%; Futures fee-table JSON behind the same page "Regular user" standardMakerFee 0.0002 / standardTakerFee 0.0005. listed_coins = 350 from the official OKX Learn wording "350+ coins" (about page only says "hundreds of tokens"). OKB fee-discount tiers could not be read from the fees page and help articles conflict on whether OKB affects tiers, so native_token_fee_discount_pct stays null. [Withdrawal fees checked 2026-10-28 via the official Crypto withdrawal fee page, read in-browser (the public REST endpoint needs an API key): BTC 0.000015 BTC on Bitcoin; USDT 1.5 USDT on Tron (TRC20) (cheapest: Plasma (USDT0) 0.0000049). The exchange adjusts them with network conditions.]
