Gate
WEEXIn short: the difference
How Gate differs from WEEX
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, WEEX, is an exchange that lives on leverage. On the market since 2018, jurisdiction: Singapore, its own WXT token.
What Gate gives you
The terminal is strong on contracts, but Gate has its own ground: 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 WEEX gives you
Against an early-listing venue, WEEX plays a different game: A young venue that grew quickly: seventeen hundred spot pairs and a thousand perpetual contracts, wider than some long-standing names. The set includes P2P in dozens of currencies, copy trading, savings and the WXT token. It is separately known for the user protection fund it keeps in public view.
Where WEEX is strong
1700 spot pairs and 1000 contracts, a broad P2P, a public protection fund.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Age. Gate has run since 2013, WEEX since 2018 — a gap of 5 years. It guarantees nothing on its own, but the older venue has been through more market cycles.
- Jurisdiction. Gate sits in Panama, WEEX in Singapore. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native tokens. Gate has GT, WEEX has WXT: 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; WEEX: 1700 spot pairs and 1000 contracts, a broad P2P, a public protection fund.
- Which job. Gate is for anyone who values freedom of choice when moving coins between chains, while WEEX is for anyone who needs a wide choice of pairs and a live P2P in their currency.
- Worth remembering. Gate: the interface is dense with sections: finding the right one takes a while. WEEX: eleven withdrawal networks — fewer than the largest venues.

What people ask most
Questions about Gate
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 is the maximum leverage on Gate? There is no single figure: it is set per contract by the leverage_max field in the directory at api.gateio.ws/api/v4/futures/usdt/contracts. As the position grows the available leverage falls under the risk limits.
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 WEEX
WEEX: Which network should I withdraw on? Not TRON — it is the dearest here. Layer-two networks are the cheapest, and live prices for each sit in the table at the top of this page.
WEEX: What does the WXT token give me? Fee discounts and access to the exchange programmes.
WEEX: What does trading on WEEX cost? Spot is 0.10% both ways at tier zero, down to 0.005% maker and 0.018% taker at the eighth. Contracts start at 0.02% maker and 0.08% taker and reach 0.010% and 0.040% at the top.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both Gate and WEEX
You do not have to pick one. Two accounts give you a fallback when the coin or network you need exists only on the other venue. 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.
