BigONE
PionexIn short: the difference
How BigONE differs from Pionex
BigONE is an exchange with services around the trading. On the market since 2017, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own ONE token.
Pionex is an ecosystem with its own set of services. .
What BigONE gives you
Compared with an ecosystem, BigONE leans on its own strengths: One of the older venues in this comparison: running since 2017, with a team that came out of the Yunbi exchange. It carries around nine hundred spot pairs and a hundred perpetual contracts, each publishing its funding rate, accrual interval and mark price. There is margin, leveraged tokens, staking and its own ONE token for fee discounts. Data is fully open, including the size resting at the best quote.
Where BigONE is strong
~900 pairs and 100 contracts, best quotes with sizes, an open network directory with withdrawal fees, the ONE token for discounts.
What Pionex gives you
The rival’s service list is wide, yet Pionex wins on other things: A venue built around trading bots: grid, DCA and arbitrage strategies are built into the interface and free to use. Spot runs to a little over three hundred USDT pairs, and the exchange serves best quotes together with their sizes, which is not common. It aggregates liquidity from the large exchanges, so its prices usually stay close to the market rather than drifting on their own.
Where Pionex is strong
300+ pairs with open sizes at the quote, built-in trading bots at no charge, prices close to the major venues.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Native token. ONE on BigONE cuts fees and opens launches; Pionex has no such lever.
- Strengths side by side. BigONE: ~900 pairs and 100 contracts, best quotes with sizes, an open network directory with withdrawal fees, the ONE token for discounts; Pionex: 300+ pairs with open sizes at the quote, built-in trading bots at no charge, prices close to the major venues.
- Which job. BigONE is as an additional venue in spot routes and funding, while Pionex is as a bot-driven venue with even prices, handy for triangular routes.
- Worth remembering. BigONE: the top of the book is thin: on major coins the best price often holds only a hundred dollars or two. Pionex: funding rates for its perpetuals are not served as a list, so the venue is absent from funding.

What people ask most
Questions about BigONE
BigONE: Does BigONE take part in your arbitrage sections? Yes, all of them. The exchange serves best quotes together with their sizes, so we can compute both the spread and the ceiling it fills at — which matters especially on a venue like this.
BigONE: Is the transfer status visible for BigONE? Yes, in full. The venue publishes networks, deposit and withdrawal statuses and the fee per chain, so its routes carry the ordinary transfer badge and the fee is subtracted from the net spread straight away.
BigONE: How does BigONE Eurasia differ from ordinary BigONE? It is a separate legal entity registered in the AIFC and supervised by AFSA. Its regulated perimeter covers deposits and withdrawals, spot exchange, OTC and custody, while margin and lending are not included. An account on one venue does not open the other.
Questions about Pionex
Pionex: What makes Pionex useful for triangular arbitrage? It publishes the size at the best price. Without that number there is no saying how large a route can fill, and venues that withhold it do not enter the triangular section at all.
Pionex: Does Pionex still have an arbitrage bot? The old spot-versus-futures bot left the line-up in February 2024. The Arbitrage section on the site now refers to investment products — a different mechanism entirely.
Pionex: What does running a bot cost? Starting one and subscribing are free, but every trade the bot fills pays the ordinary fee. One turn of a grid bot on a thousand dollars costs about a dollar, and with frequent trades that adds up.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both BigONE and Pionex
Nothing stops you from opening an account on both: it is free, and a pair of venues almost always beats any single one on price. It makes sense to split the jobs: spot and earn on one, bots and launches on the other. Balances are pre-funded, so no transfer is needed at the moment of a trade.
Live numbers
Live BigONE and Pionex prices side by side
Everything in the table above is recomputed together with the rest of the site — pairs, contracts, P2P, networks and the withdrawal fee. BigONE and Pionex can be compared on facts rather than promises.
Where these numbers come from
Prices are read straight from the venues and refresh automatically. There is no averaged rate here: each exchange has its own, which is why both are shown side by side.
How often they refresh
Spot and futures every few seconds; fee tiers and withdrawal networks once a day.
What the numbers say
What differs most in the BigONE and Pionex numbers
Of the two, only BigONE publishes a USDT withdrawal price: 0.78, chain ETH. Counting spot pairs, BigONE comes out ahead by 2.8×: 880 USDT pairs against 310.
What this comparison is built on
Pair counts, withdrawal chains, fee tiers and P2P currencies are taken from the venues own public references, not from our judgement. Where a venue does not publish a field, we say so plainly instead of filling in a number.
