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

First in the pair, Bybit, is an exchange with a strong futures side. On the market since 2018, jurisdiction: Dubai, UAE, its own MNT token.

Second in the pair, HTX, is an exchange that covers several jobs at once. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own HTX token.

What Bybit gives you

The rival’s service list is wide, yet Bybit wins on other things: A venue with a strong derivatives pedigree and an unusually comfortable interface. Spot, perpetual futures and options, P2P, Earn savings, copy trading with open trader statistics, trading bots and a card. Twenty networks for USDT withdrawals — more than anyone we cover — and several of them free.

Strong sides: 20 withdrawal networks, several of them free, an even book on the main pairs, transparent copy trading.

What HTX gives you

Next to a derivatives terminal, HTX answers with something else: A venue with history since 2013 and the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover — 0.001 on BTT. Spot across nearly six hundred pairs, perpetual futures, P2P in dozens of currencies, savings and staking under HTX Earn, Primepool launches and copy trading. Thirteen withdrawal networks.

Strong sides: the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover, a broad P2P, running since 2013.

What decides it

  • Age. HTX has run since 2013, Bybit since 2018 — a gap of 5 years. It guarantees nothing on its own, but the older venue has been through more market cycles.
  • Jurisdiction. Bybit sits in Dubai, UAE, HTX in Seychelles. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
  • Native tokens. Bybit has MNT, HTX has HTX: holders usually get fee discounts and access to launches.
  • Strengths side by side. Bybit: 20 withdrawal networks, several of them free, an even book on the main pairs, transparent copy trading; HTX: the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover, a broad P2P, running since 2013.
  • Which job. Bybit is a natural second venue in a route: cheap transfers and predictable execution, while HTX is for anyone who moves coins between venues often.
  • Worth remembering. Bybit: the spot listing is slimmer than the Asian venues with thousands of pairs. HTX: the spot fee is above the average here — keep it in your maths.

What people ask most

Bybit: Are there options here? Yes, a proper section. Options are uncommon among exchanges, and Bybit is one of the few venues with the full derivatives set.

Bybit: Is Bybit good for spot? Fine for major pairs: nearly four hundred USDT pairs with no random coins on an empty book. For the long tail of new listings keep a wide-listing venue alongside.

Bybit: How many USDT withdrawal networks are there? Twenty, more than any other venue in our review, and several of them are free. Live per-network prices are in the table at the top of this page.

HTX: What else does HTX offer? Almost six hundred spot pairs, over three hundred and fifty perpetual contracts, HTX Earn savings and staking, Primepool and Primelist launches, copy trading and its own discount token.

HTX: Is there P2P? Yes, a broad section covering dozens of currencies. The usual flow: pick an offer, pay the seller, the crypto leaves escrow.

HTX: Where is the biggest saving here? On withdrawals: USDT on the BTT network costs 0.001 — the cheapest withdrawal in our review. Thirteen networks in total.

Both at once

Keeping both costs less than it seems: signing up is free, and a choice of two quotes usually beats one. Spot and earn stay on the ecosystem, contracts on the terminal. Moving between them costs pennies on the right network.
