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

First in the pair, HTX, is an exchange that covers several jobs at once. On the market since 2013, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own HTX token.

Second in the pair, WEEX, is an exchange with a strong futures side. On the market since 2018, jurisdiction: Singapore, its own WXT token.

What HTX gives you

Next to a derivatives terminal, HTX answers with something else: A venue with history since 2013 and the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover — 0.001 on BTT. Spot across nearly six hundred pairs, perpetual futures, P2P in dozens of currencies, savings and staking under HTX Earn, Primepool launches and copy trading. Thirteen withdrawal networks.

Strong sides: the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover, a broad P2P, running since 2013.

What WEEX gives you

The rival’s service list is wide, yet WEEX wins on other things: A young venue that grew fast: seventeen hundred spot pairs and a thousand perpetuals, more than many long-established names. There is P2P in dozens of currencies, copy trading, savings and its own WXT token. The exchange is known for the user protection fund it holds publicly.

Strong sides: 1700 spot pairs and 1000 contracts, a broad P2P, a public protection fund.

What decides it

  • Age. HTX 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. HTX sits in Seychelles, WEEX in Singapore. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
  • Native tokens. HTX has HTX, WEEX has WXT: holders usually get fee discounts and access to launches.
  • Strengths side by side. HTX: the cheapest USDT withdrawal we cover, a broad P2P, running since 2013; WEEX: 1700 spot pairs and 1000 contracts, a broad P2P, a public protection fund.
  • Which job. HTX is for anyone who moves coins between venues often, while WEEX is for anyone who needs a wide choice of pairs and a live P2P in their currency.
  • Worth remembering. HTX: the spot fee is above the average here — keep it in your maths. WEEX: eleven withdrawal networks — fewer than the largest venues.

Which one fits you

HTX — for anyone who moves coins between venues often.

WEEX — for anyone who needs a wide choice of pairs and a live P2P in their currency.

What people ask most

HTX: Where is the biggest saving here? On withdrawals: USDT on the BTT network costs 0.001 — the cheapest withdrawal in our review. Thirteen networks in total.

HTX: Why did Huobi become HTX? A 2023 rebrand. The name changed, but the venue remains one of the oldest on the market, running since 2013.

HTX: Is there P2P? Yes, a broad section covering dozens of currencies. The usual flow: pick an offer, pay the seller, the crypto leaves escrow.

WEEX: Which network is cheapest for USDT withdrawals? Not TRON, contrary to habit: it is the dearest on WEEX, and layer-two networks come in more than ten times cheaper. Exact figures per network are in the table at the top of this page, since they change.

WEEX: How long does a deposit take? Usually around ten minutes, followed by a notification in the app and by email. If it takes longer, first check in a block explorer that the transaction is confirmed — until then the exchange cannot see it.

WEEX: Where is P2P on WEEX? At /buy-crypto, not /p2p — the expected link leads nowhere. Our rates and route sections pull WEEX ads automatically.

Both at once

Most people end up keeping both: one for daily trades, the other for what the first one lacks. Spot and earn stay on the ecosystem, contracts on the terminal. Moving between them costs pennies on the right network.
