Gate
CoinWIn short: the difference
How Gate differs from CoinW
What Gate is: the exchange with the longest ticker list. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Panama, its own GT token.
What CoinW is: a derivatives terminal. On the market since 2017, jurisdiction: Singapore, its own CWT token.
What Gate gives you
Next to a derivatives terminal, Gate answers with something else: 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 CoinW gives you
Early listings are not the only argument; CoinW answers with its own: Running since 2017, with most of its volume on futures — nearly ten billion a day against 455 million on spot. We track 356 USDT spot pairs. What stands out is that the venue publishes the chain list per coin openly, without a key.
Where CoinW is strong
a public network reference for 1,238 coins with deposit and withdrawal status, large futures turnover, 662 markets in the CoinMarketCap listing.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Age. Gate has run since 2013, CoinW 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, CoinW in Singapore. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native tokens. Gate has GT, CoinW has CWT: 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; CoinW: a public network reference for 1,238 coins with deposit and withdrawal status, large futures turnover, 662 markets in the CoinMarketCap listing.
- Which job. Gate is for anyone who values freedom of choice when moving coins between chains, while CoinW is as the second side in spot routes and a venue with an open chain list.
- Worth remembering. Gate: the interface is dense with sections: finding the right one takes a while. CoinW: no withdrawal fees in the reference, no contract addresses, and a website behind a Cloudflare check.
Which one fits you
Who Gate suits
Gate — for anyone who values freedom of choice when moving coins between chains.
Who CoinW suits
CoinW — as the second side in spot routes and a venue with an open chain list.
What people ask most
Questions about Gate
Gate: How trustworthy is Gate? The exchange has been running since 2013 and publishes proof of reserves regularly — by industry standards those are good signs. Such a publication is not a full audit.
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.
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.
Questions about CoinW
CoinW: What are CoinW fees? Per CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko: contracts 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker, spot around 0.1%. Your exact rate is shown in the account — the full tier ladder is not published openly.
CoinW: Why is CoinW futures turnover so large? The venue was built around contracts: 125x leverage, bots and copy trading in one interface. Its spot turnover is twenty times smaller than its contract turnover.
CoinW: Does CoinW publish withdrawal fees? No. Chains and deposit/withdrawal status are public, but the fee is only shown in the account when you create the request. That is why the fee column for CoinW stays empty in our tables.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both Gate and CoinW
Nothing stops you from opening an account on both: it is free, and a pair of venues almost always beats any single one on price. The coin is bought where it already trades, moved across and shorted with a contract on the other — that locks the price while the transfer runs.
Live numbers
Live Gate and CoinW 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 CoinW 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
Where Gate and CoinW diverge the most
Spot breadth favours Gate — 2,004 USDT pairs to 356, 5.6× more. Gate opens 26 chains for USDT against 9 on CoinW — more routes mean more chances to move funds cheaply. P2P advertisements reach us from Gate alone: 72 currencies. Of the two, only Gate publishes a USDT withdrawal price: 0.0500, chain ARBITRUM.
Where these numbers come from
Pair counts, withdrawal networks, fee rates and the P2P currency list come from the exchanges own public interfaces. Where a venue withholds a field, the table shows a dash and an explanation.
