Phemex: How many pairs and contracts does Phemex have? The exact counts are in the panel at the top of the page: they come from the same feed that drives our arbitrage sections. It is one of the smaller venues we cover, and the listing is tidy by design.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both BingX and Phemex
Most people end up keeping both: one for daily trades, the other for what the first one lacks. Keeping both pays off on funding: the rate on the same pair diverges between venues, and that gap is exactly what a delta-neutral pair earns.
