Gate
HTXIn short: the difference
How Gate differs from HTX
What Gate is: an exchange with thousands of pairs. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Panama, its own GT token.
What HTX is: a venue that doubles as a toolkit. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own HTX token.
What Gate gives you
Compared with an ecosystem, Gate leans on its own strengths: Running since 2013 and holding first place in our coverage for USDT withdrawal networks — nobody else offers as many. Spot across two thousand pairs, a thousand perpetual contracts. The set includes P2P, savings and staking, Startup for new coins, copy trading, bots and its own GT token that cuts the fee.
Where Gate is strong
more USDT withdrawal networks than any other venue we cover, 2000 spot pairs, running since 2013.
What HTX gives you
Early listings are not the only argument; HTX answers with its own: On the market since 2013, and the cheapest USDT withdrawal in our coverage — 0.001 over BTT. Spot across nearly six hundred pairs, perpetual futures, P2P in dozens of currencies, HTX Earn yield products, Primepool launches and copy trading. Thirteen networks to withdraw through.
Where HTX is strong
the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover, a broad P2P, running since 2013.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Jurisdiction. Gate sits in Panama, HTX in Seychelles. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native tokens. Gate has GT, HTX has HTX: 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; HTX: the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover, a broad P2P, running since 2013.
- Which job. Gate is for anyone who values freedom of choice when moving coins between chains, while HTX is for anyone who moves coins between venues often.
- Worth remembering. Gate: the interface is dense with sections: finding the right one takes a while. HTX: the spot fee is above the average here — keep it in your maths.
Which one fits you

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 HTX
HTX: What is the maximum leverage on HTX? The historical ceiling on selected BTC and ETH contracts is 200x, from a 2022 announcement. It is not a general figure: the venue revises limits, and in April 2026 two pairs were cut from 20x to 10x.
HTX: How is a Prime tier reached? There are four criteria and any one can suffice: 30-day spot volume, contract volume, asset value as of the previous day, or the value of HTX tokens held as of the previous day. By spot volume, tier one starts at 30,000 USDT.
HTX: Is there P2P here? Yes, with the exchange holding escrow: while a trade runs, the seller's coins stay frozen.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both Gate and HTX
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.
