Gate vs LBank

Two hunters for new listings. The lists overlap, so what matters is the withdrawal fee and who added the ticker first.

Compared by the numbers

These figures come from the venues themselves. Volume is missing on purpose: every exchange counts it its own way, and on a few the top of the book is tokenised equities. The bottom row counts the P2P currencies our scanner reaches, not everything the venue lists.

In short: the difference

How Gate differs from LBank

First in the pair, Gate, is a venue that lists early and often. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Panama, its own GT token.

Second in the pair, LBank, is the exchange with the longest ticker list. On the market since 2015, jurisdiction: British Virgin Islands, its own LBK token.

What Gate gives you

Against an early-listing venue, Gate plays a different game: A market veteran: live since 2013, and unmatched in our coverage for USDT withdrawal networks. Two thousand spot pairs, a thousand perpetuals. Beside them P2P, yield products, Startup launches, copy trading and trading bots; holders of the GT token pay less in fees.

Where Gate is strong

more USDT withdrawal networks than any other venue we cover, 2000 spot pairs, running since 2013.

What LBank gives you

Early listings are not the only argument; LBank answers with its own: One of the elder Asian venues, running since 2015. Eight hundred and thirty perpetuals and a broad P2P across dozens of currencies — stronger than many of its contemporaries on both counts. There is savings, staking and its own LBK token. The exchange is known for early listings: new coins land here before the majors.

Where LBank is strong

830 perpetuals, a broad P2P, early listings, running since 2015.

What decides it

Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows

  • Jurisdiction. Gate sits in Panama, LBank in British Virgin Islands. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
  • Native tokens. Gate has GT, LBank has LBK: 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; LBank: 830 perpetuals, a broad P2P, early listings, running since 2015.
  • Which job. Gate is for anyone who values freedom of choice when moving coins between chains, while LBank is for funding, P2P and finding fresh coins.
  • Worth remembering. Gate: the interface is dense with sections: finding the right one takes a while. LBank: we do not show it in cross-exchange spot arbitrage: it serves its book one pair per request.

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 does the GT token give me? A fee discount and access to exchange programmes, including early sales.

Gate: What is proof of reserves? A Merkle-tree procedure letting you verify your balance is counted in the exchange's liabilities and those liabilities are covered by assets. It does not reveal off-balance-sheet obligations.

Questions about LBank

LBank: Does LBank support the hryvnia in P2P? Its official description names the dollar, euro, pound, yen, Canadian and Australian dollars, rouble and Indian rupee; the hryvnia is not among them. The venue advertises over fifty currencies but publishes no full list — check the P2P filter.

LBank: How do I fund the account? Through the deposit section: pick the coin and the network, then send to the address shown. Some coins have several networks, each with its own address.

LBank: Which networks can USDT be withdrawn on from LBank? The venue publishes no full current list. Opening USDT deposits and withdrawals on Arbitrum was announced officially; a 2024 notice suspended USDT deposits on TRON. Read the current set on the coin withdrawal page.

Both at once

When it makes sense to keep accounts on both Gate and LBank

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. Both are kept for early listings: which venue gets the ticker you need is not known in advance, and signing up costs nothing.
