Gate
BigONEIn short: the difference
How Gate differs from BigONE
Gate is a venue that lists early and often. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Panama, its own GT token.
BigONE is an ecosystem with its own set of services. On the market since 2017, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own ONE token.
What Gate gives you
Compared with an ecosystem, Gate leans on its own strengths: 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 BigONE gives you
Early listings are not the only argument; BigONE answers with its own: A veteran of this comparison: the exchange opened in 2017, put together by a team that came out of Yunbi. The list holds some nine hundred spot pairs and a hundred perpetual contracts, each with an open funding rate, accrual interval and mark price. Margin, leveraged tokens and staking all work here, and the ONE token cuts the fee. The venue publishes everything, down to the size 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 decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Age. Gate has run since 2013, BigONE since 2017 — a gap of 4 years. It guarantees nothing on its own, but the older venue has been through more market cycles.
- Jurisdiction. Gate sits in Panama, BigONE in Seychelles. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native tokens. Gate has GT, BigONE has ONE: holders usually get fee discounts and access to launches.
- Strengths side by side. Gate: more USDT withdrawal networks than any other venue we cover, 2000 spot pairs, running since 2013; BigONE: ~900 pairs and 100 contracts, best quotes with sizes, an open network directory with withdrawal fees, the ONE token for discounts.
- Which job. Gate is for anyone who values freedom of choice when moving coins between chains, while BigONE is as an additional venue in spot routes and funding.
- Worth remembering. Gate: the interface is dense with sections: finding the right one takes a while. BigONE: the top of the book is thin: on major coins the best price often holds only a hundred dollars or two.

What people ask most
Questions about Gate
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.
Gate: What is the minimum order on Gate? Each pair has its own: the directory at api.gateio.ws/api/v4/spot/currency_pairs returns the minimum base quantity and the minimum notional in the quote currency. The ETH_USDT example gives 0.001 ETH and 1 USDT.
Gate: What does the GT token give me? A fee discount and access to exchange programmes, including early sales.
Questions about BigONE
BigONE: What does a BigONE withdrawal cost? The venue charges no deposit fee of its own, and the withdrawal fee is dynamic: it depends on the asset, the network and current blockchain load, and the exact amount is shown in the withdrawal form before you confirm.
BigONE: What does the ONE token do? It is the venue’s own token, discounting trading fees and taking part in platform programmes.
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.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both Gate and BigONE
Most people end up keeping both: one for daily trades, the other for what the first one lacks. A rare coin is bought where it exists and moved to the ecosystem — easier to hold, stake or sell into a deeper book there.

What the numbers say
Where the gap between Gate and BigONE is widest
Routes out differ: 26 USDT networks on Gate, 8 on BigONE. A chain the other lacks is sometimes the cheapest way home. On perpetual contracts Gate is ahead — 1,081 to 97. Gate asks less to move USDT — 0.0500 over ARBITRUM; BigONE comes to 0.78 ETH. Counting spot pairs, Gate comes out ahead by 2.3×: 2,004 USDT pairs against 880. P2P advertisements reach us from Gate alone: 72 currencies.
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.
