Gate
BitunixIn short: the difference
How Gate differs from Bitunix
First in the pair, Gate, is an early-listing venue. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Panama, its own GT token.
Second in the pair, Bitunix, is a venue that doubles as a toolkit. On the market since 2021.
What Gate gives you
The rival’s service list is wide, yet Gate wins on other things: 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 Bitunix gives you
Against an early-listing venue, Bitunix plays a different game: Running since 2021, with futures as the main business: nearly nine hundred perpetual contracts against USDT, five and a half hundred spot pairs, and leverage up to 200x where it is allowed. Contracts cost 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker, below most of the field. The company it keeps is unusual too — gold, silver, oil and the S&P 500 trade on the same platform.
Where Bitunix is strong
almost 900 contracts with funding rate and mark price in a single list, low futures fees, a full network directory with contract addresses and withdrawal costs.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Age. Gate has run since 2013, Bitunix since 2021 — a gap of 8 years. It guarantees nothing on its own, but the older venue has been through more market cycles.
- Native token. GT on Gate cuts fees and opens launches; Bitunix has no such lever.
- Strengths side by side. Gate: more USDT withdrawal networks than any other venue we cover, 2000 spot pairs, running since 2013; Bitunix: almost 900 contracts with funding rate and mark price in a single list, low futures fees, a full network directory with contract addresses and withdrawal costs.
- Which job. Gate is for anyone who values freedom of choice when moving coins between chains, while Bitunix is as the futures leg in spot-versus-contract routes and a source of funding rates.
- Worth remembering. Gate: the interface is dense with sections: finding the right one takes a while. Bitunix: the venue publishes no market summary at all: spot books have to be walked one pair at a time, so its prices refresh more slowly than the rest.
Which one fits you
Who Gate suits
Gate — for anyone who values freedom of choice when moving coins between chains.
Who Bitunix suits
Bitunix — as the futures leg in spot-versus-contract routes and a source of funding rates.
What people ask most
Questions about Gate
Gate: What does the GT token give me? A fee discount and access to exchange programmes, including early sales.
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 are TradFi contracts on Gate? Perpetual contracts on shares, metals, indices, currencies and commodities. Since 1 September 2026 they have their own seventeen-tier fee table, and the ordinary crypto contract rates do not apply to them.
Questions about Bitunix
Bitunix: Does Bitunix have P2P? There is a board, but its ads are partner ads — from MEXC and Bitget, as stated in the data itself. Both venues already sit on our board separately, so we do not double them up.
Bitunix: Does Bitunix appear in the transfers section? Yes, with the full set: every network comes with a contract address, deposit and withdrawal status, and the transfer fee. It is one of the most detailed directories among the venues we track.
Bitunix: Why are Bitunix prices slightly older than the rest? The venue publishes no market summary: the book is only available one pair per request. We walk every pair with a separate process, and a full lap takes about forty seconds. The age of the data is shown next to each route.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both Gate and Bitunix
Keeping both costs less than it seems: signing up is free, and a choice of two quotes usually beats one. A rare coin is bought where it exists and moved to the ecosystem — easier to hold, stake or sell into a deeper book there.
Live numbers
Live Gate and Bitunix prices side by side
Everything in the table above is recomputed together with the rest of the site — pairs, contracts, P2P, networks and the withdrawal fee. Gate and Bitunix can be compared on facts rather than promises.
Where these numbers come from
Prices are read straight from the venues and refresh automatically. There is no averaged rate here: each exchange has its own, which is why both are shown side by side.
How often they refresh
Spot and futures every few seconds; fee tiers and withdrawal networks once a day.
What the numbers say
What differs most in the Gate and Bitunix numbers
Gate asks less to move USDT — 0.0500 over ARBITRUM; Bitunix comes to 0.50 TON. Routes out differ: 26 USDT networks on Gate, 20 on Bitunix. A chain the other lacks is sometimes the cheapest way home. Our scanner reads P2P on Gate only — 72 currencies. On perpetual contracts Gate is ahead — 1,081 to 889. Counting spot pairs, Gate comes out ahead by 3.8×: 2,004 USDT pairs against 534.
What this comparison is built on
Every value in the table is read from the venues themselves: pairs, networks, fee tiers, P2P currencies. We add no estimates of our own and spell out the fields that are missing.
