Binance vs Gate

Gate catches new listings first; Binance lets you fill a large order without slippage. That is the whole fork.

Compared by the numbers

These figures come from the venues themselves. Volume is missing on purpose: every exchange counts it its own way, and on a few the top of the book is tokenised equities. The bottom row counts the P2P currencies our scanner reaches, not everything the venue lists.

In short: the difference

How Binance differs from Gate

What Binance is: the broadest venue of the two. On the market since 2017, jurisdiction: no single headquarters, its own BNB token.

What Gate is: an early-listing venue. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Panama, its own GT token.

What Binance gives you

Against an early-listing venue, Binance plays a different game: The most complete venue anywhere: spot, perpetual futures and options, P2P in more than fifty currencies, Earn savings and staking, Launchpad releases, copy trading, bots and a payment card. Close to five hundred USDT pairs and over eight hundred contracts. What decides it, though, is book depth — the deepest we cover, so size fills without moving the price much.

Where Binance is strong

the deepest book we cover, P2P in 50+ currencies, USDT withdrawals from 0.01 on BSC, 19 networks to choose from.

What Gate gives you

The rival’s scale does not mean Gate has nothing to offer: One of the oldest venues, running since 2013, and first in our coverage for withdrawal networks: no other venue on the list has as many for USDT. Two thousand spot pairs and a thousand perpetuals. There is P2P, savings and staking, Startup launches, copy trading, bots and its own GT token with fee discounts.

Where Gate is strong

more USDT withdrawal networks than any other venue we cover, 2000 spot pairs, running since 2013.

What decides it

Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows

  • Age. Gate has run since 2013, Binance since 2017 — a gap of 4 years. It guarantees nothing on its own, but the older venue has been through more market cycles.
  • Jurisdiction. Binance sits in no single headquarters, Gate in Panama. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
  • Native tokens. Binance has BNB, Gate has GT: holders usually get fee discounts and access to launches.
  • Strengths side by side. Binance: the deepest book we cover, P2P in 50+ currencies, USDT withdrawals from 0.01 on BSC, 19 networks to choose from; Gate: more USDT withdrawal networks than any other venue we cover, 2000 spot pairs, running since 2013.
  • Which job. Binance is the anchor venue for anyone who values reliable execution and cheap transfers, while Gate is for anyone who values freedom of choice when moving coins between chains.
  • Worth remembering. Binance: new coins arrive here later than on the early-listing venues. Gate: the interface is dense with sections: finding the right one takes a while.

What people ask most

Questions about Binance

Binance: Which network is cheapest to withdraw on? It depends on the coin and current network load. The table at the top of this page shows live fees per network — usually TRON and BSC are cheapest, Ethereum dearest.

Binance: Do I need verification to trade? Basic verification for spot trading. Full verification, with a document and a selfie, for P2P, fiat funding and any meaningful withdrawal.

Binance: How large is the BNB discount? 25% of the trading fee on spot and 10% on USDⓈ-M futures. The coin has to sit on the matching account: if there is not enough, the fee is charged the ordinary way.

Questions about Gate

Gate: How does the European version of Gate differ? In its fee grid. The European table reaches a zero maker fee at the tenth tier, while the global one only does so at the fifteenth. The other steps match.

Gate: What does trading on Gate cost? Tier zero is 0.10% for maker and taker. A sixteen-step ladder takes it to a zero maker fee and 0.020% taker at the top. Ordinary crypto contracts start at 0.020% and 0.050%.

Gate: Are there many coins? One of the widest listings on the market, comparable to MEXC. As there, breadth calls for caution: check a pair's volume before trading.

Both at once

When it makes sense to keep accounts on both Binance and Gate

Most people end up keeping both: one for daily trades, the other for what the first one lacks. A new ticker is caught where it lands first, and a small sum goes there with it. The main capital stays on the deeper venue and is used once the coin reaches it.
