Networks, fees and status
Collected directly from the exchange. The fee is quoted in the coin itself and does not depend on the amount — splitting a withdrawal does not pay.
What Bybit is
Bybit started in 2018 as a futures venue and is still considered one of the most comfortable for derivatives. Over time it gained spot, P2P and savings, but the handwriting remained: an interface you do not get lost in, and fills without surprises.
If Binance is taken for size
- then Bybit is taken for neatness
- the book on the main pairs is even
The terminal
- a newcomer gets it in an evening
- orders fill predictably
What is here besides ordinary trading
Futures are the home ground; everything else grew around them. The funding rate is published openly.
About four hundred pairs against USDT with no empty books.
389 pairs vs USDTFive kinds of contract, with the funding rate open on each.

spot and futuresMastercard: virtual and physical, payments and cash withdrawals.
Bybit PayThe unified trading account
Spot, futures and options share one pool of collateral. A coin bought on spot works as margin for a future straight away, and free funds do not sit idle in a separate wallet.
Funds are split across wallets: you move them by hand and some of them sit idle.
An illustrative example: 4,000 USDT on spot and 1,000 on futures.
The card, payments and loans
A Mastercard: virtual and physical, online and in-store payments, contactless and cash withdrawals in supported programmes. The virtual card is issued free in many regions; the physical one can carry separate charges.

Availability in your country is checked by applying from your account.
Bybit Pay
Transfers between users, paying merchants and QR payments. This is neither P2P nor an ordinary on-chain withdrawal.
Loans
One asset against another as collateral: the pledge, the borrowed asset, LTV, the rate, repayment and the liquidation threshold.
What you see about a trader before copying
Copy trading here is more honest than most: it shows not only the return but the drawdown. Compare two illustrative traders.
An illustrative example. Bybit shows the return, the result, the maximum drawdown, assets under management, the number of followers and statistics over different periods. Both futures and spot can be copied.
The fee ladder: spot, contracts and options
An ordinary user pays 0.10% both ways on spot. Contracts are noticeably cheaper — 0.02% maker and 0.055% taker; options are 0.02% and 0.03%. The tiers lower the rate across all markets at once.
The minimum order: minOrderAmt
There is no single minimum. Each instrument’s parameters come from /v5/market/instruments-info. For spot look at minOrderAmt — in the documentation’s BTCUSDT example it is 5 USDT.
How to pay less
- a discount on the fee
- the maker fee is below the taker
- over time it saves more than the tiers do
Five kinds of contract plus options
Leverage is advertised up to 100×. What is actually available depends on the pair, the contract type, the position size, the risk limit, the margin mode and the region — and falls as the position grows.
One-way mode
A single position per contract.
Hedge
A long and a short on the same contract at once.
P2P, HotSwap and withdrawals
Fund it through P2P the most popular route
Withdraw over a network 20 networks for USDT
More than any other venue we cover. The price depends on the network, not the amount.
P2P: the fee depends on the currency and the role
There is no single rate. Posting an advert costs nothing — the fee arises when the trade completes. An extract from the official table:
On currencies outside the table the venue charges nothing of its own — though the payment provider may.
HotSwap is not the same as P2P
It connects an advertiser with a third-party liquidity provider, so a token can be bought for fiat in one step. Maker and taker fees are zero; the provider may charge its own.
Ordinary P2P, HotSwap, one-click buying, fiat deposits and bank cards each have their own currency list — five of them. Check the one that belongs to the product you are using.
Deposits and withdrawals
A currency available for deposit is not necessarily available for withdrawal, and some fiat withdrawal routes only open after the first fiat top-up.
Earn: eleven products instead of one
The exchange’s own formula: amount × rate ÷ 365 × term. Use the rate you see in your account.
Dual Asset and Double-Win do not guarantee the capital: which asset the money comes back in is decided by the market on the settlement date.
Bots
Spot and futures grids (long, short, neutral), DCA, martingale and a combined bot. There is no separate charge — each trade pays the ordinary fee.
API v5
Spot, linear and inverse derivatives, options, accounts, positions, orders and WebSocket. The main host is api.bybit.com.
Who it suits
A comfortable terminal, options and the unified account.

Frequently asked questions
What does trading on Bybit cost?+
On spot an ordinary user pays 0.10% as both maker and taker. On perpetual contracts it is 0.02% maker and 0.055% taker; on options 0.02% and 0.03%. VIP tiers lower the rate across all markets at once.
How many networks are there for USDT withdrawals?+
Twenty — more than any other venue we cover. Four of them are free, and the live table with each network’s price and status is higher up this page.
What is the unified trading account?+
A mode in which spot, futures and options share one pool of collateral. A coin bought on spot works as margin for a future straight away, and there is nothing to move between wallets.
What is the minimum order?+
There is no single one: the instrument sets it, in the minOrderAmt field of the /v5/market/instruments-info reference. In the documentation’s BTCUSDT example it is 5 USDT.
How does HotSwap differ from P2P?+
P2P is a trade between people with escrow and appeals. HotSwap connects an advertiser with a third-party liquidity provider so a token can be bought for ordinary money in one step; the venue charges nothing there, though the provider may.
What does P2P cost?+
There is no single rate: it depends on the currency, the advert type and the role. Posting an advert is free — the fee arises when the trade completes, and on currencies outside the official table the venue charges nothing of its own.
