Exchange comparison for arbitrage
Every venue we cover, measured on the numbers that decide a route: what the withdrawal costs, which networks it is even possible on, and where the coin trades at all.

Pick a goal and the list re-sorts for it. Small and large venues are compared by the same rules.

Moving funds between two exchanges
A route only works if both venues share a network. Pick where from and where to — we show every shared network and the cost.
USDT only. Network names are normalised. Venues that do not publish withdrawal fees are left out of the picker.
How to read the numbers
Three figures decide whether a route pays. Here they are on Gate.
The cost of a transfer depends on the network, not on the amount. On a small balance it eats the whole spread.
A coin can only move through a network both venues support. More networks, better odds of a match.

Each dot is 20 pairs. More pairs mean a better chance at a rare route, but check the book depth on thin ones.

Where to start
Three reviews built on live figures: pairs, ordinary-money entry and the cost of a withdrawal, for your country.
Fifteen venues and a straight answer to the question of where a Ukrainian should go: where to bring hryvnia in, where moving coins costs least, and where to buy them with no USDT in between.
Nine of the twenty-five venues we track appear in the ESMA register. What a CASP licence gives you, why its absence means different things at different venues, and how to check for yourself.
Six venues still take users from Russia, four are closed — two of them since October. Where to move, which boards carry the rouble, and how to get assets out without losses.
Popular comparisons
Once the choice is down to two, we compare them on what actually changes the decision.
Everything measurable is measured by our own collectors straight from the exchanges and refreshes itself — no press releases, no hand-kept tables that go stale in a month.
Those venues do not publish their networks or withdrawal fees. Showing a network without the price of a transfer is pointless, so there is a dash instead.
We only count networks where withdrawal is open right now. A free but closed network is worth nothing to a route.
At the entry tier it is around 0.1% almost everywhere and depends on the token and volume. Withdrawal costs differ by hundreds of times — which is why that is the column that matters.
Yes, we may earn a reward from them. It does not affect the figures: they are collected automatically and in the same way for every venue.
Methodology and principles of analytical processing
Forming and structuring the data
The analytical system brings disparate market information together into a single structure, accounting for the specifics of trading directions and the individual characteristics of each platform. That keeps the presentation consistent and the key parameters comparable.
Criteria for forming the results
Forming the analytical selection takes into account the completeness, availability and reliability of the source information. Parameters that meet the established processing and confirmation criteria are included in the calculations. Insufficiently substantiated values are not used in the final results.
Currency of the analytical information
The information presented is kept current through regular refreshing and reconciliation of the analytical parameters. How often that happens is determined by the nature of each category of data and the way it is processed.
