Withdrawal networks and fees
So there is no live table here: check the cost inside the exchange account before you send.
What Hotcoin is
Hotcoin is a mid-sized spot venue. By our measurements it carries over three hundred and fifty pairs against USDT, and turnover on the major coins is meaningful: bitcoin alone runs into hundreds of millions of dollars a day.
The exchange publishes its data openly: best bid and ask and 24-hour turnover arrive in one response covering every pair. That is enough to compare its prices with other venues soundly — we take the quotes from the book, not the last trade price.
What is on offer
Spot — over three hundred and fifty USDT pairs.
Futures — the venue has them, but programmatic access is closed: the interface answers an outside request by saying the API is not open. So the venue is absent from funding.
How Hotcoin feeds our scanners
In spot arbitrage, in full, across every USDT pair. It is absent from triangular routes and stablecoins: the venue does not publish the size resting at the best quote, and without it there is no saying how large a route can fill. We will not show a percentage with no execution ceiling.
on each side of a trade
Twelve steps: the maker fee falls from 0.20% to 0.10% and the taker to 0.11%. Both 30-day volume and account assets count.
Futures cost a fraction of spot: 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker from level zero.
Why Hotcoin routes show a question mark
The exchange does not openly publish its network and withdrawal-fee directory, so we show no transfer status for it. The badge reads «unknown», and those rows are hidden while the «working transfers only» filter is on. Check the status in the exchange’s own account area before trading.
The schedule: spot above average, contracts below
The base spot rate is 0.20% for both maker and taker. That is higher than most venues we cover, and the only discount comes from the tier ladder: from level zero to twelve the maker fee falls from 0.20% to 0.10% and the taker to 0.11%. Your own rate sits in the profile under My Rate.
It is charged on the value filled: 10,000 USDT of turnover at 0.20% costs 20 USDT. A cancelled order and an unfilled remainder cost nothing — only what actually traded.
| 30-day volume | Maker | Taker |
|---|---|---|
| level zero | 0.2% | 0.2% |
| from 50,000 $ | 0.195% | 0.195% |
| from 100,000 $ | 0.19% | 0.19% |
| from 150,000 $ | 0.185% | 0.185% |
| from 300,000 $ | 0.18% | 0.18% |
| from 600,000 $ | 0.17% | 0.175% |
| from 1,000,000 $ | 0.16% | 0.17% |
| from 3,000,000 $ | 0.15% | 0.16% |
| from 6,000,000 $ | 0.14% | 0.15% |
| from 10,000,000 $ | 0.13% | 0.14% |
| from 20,000,000 $ | 0.12% | 0.13% |
| from 30,000,000 $ | 0.11% | 0.12% |
| from 50,000,000 $ | 0.1% | 0.11% |
Rates as published by the exchange on the check date; the tier is recalculated automatically. Besides volume a tier needs assets on the account — from $10,000 at the first to $3,000,000 at the twelfth.
Futures run on a different and noticeably lower schedule: 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker at level zero. A 100,000 USDT position costs 20 USDT as maker and 60 USDT as taker. On perpetuals funding comes on top — a settlement between longs and shorts rather than an exchange fee.
Both 30-day volume and the value of assets on the account matter: level one needs 50,000 USDT of volume with a balance from 10,000 USDT, level six a million with half a million. Volume is recalculated daily at 00:00 UTC+8, the tier updates at 02:00, and assets are taken as a balance snapshot. Spot, both kinds of futures, P2P and Earn all count. There is a fast track too: a tier from another exchange can be submitted as grounds for an upgrade.
on each side of a trade
Twelve steps: the maker fee falls from 0.20% to 0.10% and the taker to 0.11%. Both 30-day volume and account assets count.
Futures cost a fraction of spot: 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker from level zero.
Money is split across sections
Spot, futures, P2P and Earn keep separate books. A spot balance will not automatically be available for a futures position — it has to be moved inside the venue first. Before hunting for "missing" money or filing a withdrawal, check which section it is sitting in.
The orders on offer
Besides the ordinary limit and market orders, spot carries a trigger order, which fires when a set price is reached, and a trailing order, whose activation condition follows the price by a set amount or percentage. A limit order that does not fill at once usually counts as maker; a market order is always taker.
There is no single order minimum: it depends on the pair, the quote currency, the quantity step and the minimum notional. The venue warns separately that a market order can fill well away from the expected price and a limit order only partly.
Futures: three kinds of margin, and leverage changed twice
Contracts here come both perpetual and dated, and margin comes in three forms: USDT, USDC and the coin itself. With coin margin the risk runs twice — both the contract price and the collateral's value move.
Order size can be set in base-asset quantity, in position value, in margin or in contracts. The minimum belongs to each instrument: below the contract's requirement the position simply will not open.
In May 2026 the venue raised the ceiling to 400x on BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT and to 300x on SOL and XRP. Three weeks later, in June, it cut them back: BTC and ETH to 200x, SOL to 100x, XRP to 125x. The second announcement is the one in force. And it is a ceiling in any case: as a position grows, the leverage available falls under the risk limits.
Deposits, withdrawals and the no-KYC limit
The venue charges nothing to credit a deposit. The minimum belongs to each coin and network, and the exchange prints it right under the address: a transfer below it may not credit and is not refundable. The same place gives the confirmation count and, for some assets, a required memo or tag.
Withdrawals go to an external address or as an internal transfer by email, phone or UID — internal transfers are free, instant and cannot be reversed. The external fee depends on the coin and network and is shown in the form; no single figure covers the exchange.
Networks are worth checking asset by asset: the venue publishes no single table. For USDT an official announcement named ERC20, TRC20, HECO, BEP20, Arbitrum One and Polygon, but that announcement is years old — the current set shows only in the deposit form. Withdrawals can be held temporarily after a password change, a login from a new device or an IP change.
P2P, copy trading and algorithms
P2P here is a full marketplace: listings, merchants and escrow on the venue's side. The buyer picks an ad, pays the seller directly by the chosen method and confirms, the seller checks the money and releases the coin. Merchant status takes a separate application. The usual P2P risks apply — forged receipts, payment from a third party, disputes — and only the in-platform process protects you; steps taken around it are nobody's liability.
Copy trading runs on futures. Leading requires 500 USDT free on the futures account, hedge mode, no open positions or resting orders and no copying of anyone else; applications take one to three business days. The profit share is withheld as a position closes, the day's actual profit is computed at 00:00 UTC+8 and paid to the lead trader at 12:00.
The futures grid splits a range into levels — 2 to 200 — and places orders across them. The step is equal in money on an arithmetic grid and equal in percent on a geometric one, where the ratio is the number-of-levels root of the upper price over the lower. Order size follows the venue's own formula, which uses 80% of the initial margin and leaves the rest as a buffer.
TWAP and VP are execution algorithms for a large order: the first splits it over time, the second tracks a share of market volume. The venue states plainly that it does not guarantee a bot's result.
Alpha, Pre-Market and prediction markets
Alpha buys on-chain tokens with USDT straight from the interface, with no withdrawal to an external wallet and no DEX handling. A token's presence in Alpha promises nothing about a future spot listing, and liquidity and slippage there are its own.
Pre-Market trades a token before it lists. Seller and buyer agree price and size and post collateral; fail to deliver on time and the collateral is lost. Unfilled orders cancel free of charge, filled ones stay binding. The pre-listing price can sit well away from where the token opens.
Prediction markets take a position on an event's outcome, from price moves to sports results. Settlement follows publicly verifiable sources, the proceeds have to be claimed by the user, and a wrong call means losing the whole stake.
TradFi: stocks, metals and indices
In 2026 the venue moved beyond crypto. Its TradFi line advertises US, Hong Kong, Japanese and South Korean shares, precious metals, commodities, ETFs, stock indices and currency pairs, in both spot and leveraged futures form.
Earn, Convert and the wallet
Earn gathers placement for a return, staking and lending. The rate, term, minimum and maximum, accrual schedule and whether money can be taken out early belong to each offer — they have to be checked product by product, not for the section as a whole.
We use the exchange's own formula: amount × rate ÷ 365 × term. Put in the rate you see in your account — it changes.
Convert swaps one coin for another without an order in the book and without a separate fee. No fee is not the same as a one-to-one rate: read the quote and the spread before confirming. Separately there is a Web3 wallet — not an exchange account but self-custody, with a seed phrase, keys and the responsibility on your side.
Regulation, reserves and availability
The venue cites an AUSTRAC registration in Australia and an MSB registration with FinCEN in the United States. Those are registrations in anti-money-laundering regimes, not a universal exchange licence or permission for every kind of financial activity — and they attach to particular legal entities rather than to the whole platform at once.
Proof of reserves is published and refreshed. As everywhere, it is a snapshot of assets: it does not replace an audit of liabilities to clients and it does not insure a deposit. For account security there is two-factor authentication, email and phone confirmation, an anti-phishing code and a separate funds password — all worth switching on.
On availability the venue points to its legal disclosures: services are not offered in prohibited jurisdictions, individual products may be closed even where the basics are open, and getting around restrictions with a VPN is against the rules. No single document settles whether every product is open to users in Ukraine — registration, verification, trading, P2P, Earn, TradFi and the card each need checking on their own.
Who it suits
Anyone looking for gaps outside the largest venues: turnover here is respectable, and prices often live a life of their own relative to the top ten.

Frequently asked
What does trading on Hotcoin cost?+
Spot starts at 0.20% for maker and taker and falls through the tiers to 0.10% and 0.11% at level twelve. Futures are much cheaper — 0.02% and 0.06% from level zero.
Is verification required?+
Not for trading. Without KYC you can withdraw up to two bitcoin a day in equivalent, and the limit rises to 25 BTC as VIP grows. KYC can still be requested separately: for a promotion, when risk controls fire, or at a payment provider demand.
What is the maximum leverage on Hotcoin?+
After the June 2026 adjustment, up to 200x on BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT, 125x on XRP/USDT and 100x on SOL/USDT. It is a ceiling: as the position grows, the leverage available falls.
How is a VIP level reached?+
Both measures count: 30-day volume and the value of assets on the account. Level one takes 50,000 USDT of volume with a balance from 10,000 USDT. Volume is counted daily at 00:00 UTC+8, the level updates at 02:00, and spot, futures, P2P and Earn all contribute.
What does a Hotcoin withdrawal cost?+
It depends on the coin and the network, and the fee appears in the withdrawal form. Deposits are not charged by the venue, and an internal transfer by email, phone or UID is free — but it cannot be reversed.
How many pairs does Hotcoin have?+
By our measurements over three hundred and fifty spot pairs against USDT. The figure is live and refreshes with the data.
Does Hotcoin take part in your arbitrage sections?+
Yes, in spot arbitrage, in full. The exchange serves best quotes for every pair in one list, so its prices are sound to compare with other venues.
Why is Hotcoin missing from funding and triangular arbitrage?+
Its futures interface is closed to outside requests — the exchange plainly answers that the API is not open. And triangular routes need the size at the best quote, which the venue does not publish.
Why do Hotcoin routes show a question mark instead of a transfer status?+
The venue does not publish networks, fees and deposit/withdrawal statuses. We will not present a guess as a fact.
Methodology and principles of analytical processing
Forming and structuring the data
The analytical system brings disparate market information together into a single structure, accounting for the specifics of trading directions and the individual characteristics of each platform. That keeps the presentation consistent and the key parameters comparable.
Criteria for forming the results
Forming the analytical selection takes into account the completeness, availability and reliability of the source information. Parameters that meet the established processing and confirmation criteria are included in the calculations. Insufficiently substantiated values are not used in the final results.
Currency of the analytical information
The information presented is kept current through regular refreshing and reconciliation of the analytical parameters. How often that happens is determined by the nature of each category of data and the way it is processed.
