LBank
BigONEIn short: the difference
How LBank differs from BigONE
What LBank is: the place where new coins show up first. On the market since 2015, jurisdiction: British Virgin Islands, its own LBK token.
What BigONE is: an ecosystem with its own set of services. On the market since 2017, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own ONE token.
What LBank gives you
The rival’s service list is wide, yet LBank wins on other things: 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 BigONE gives you
Against an early-listing venue, BigONE plays a different game: BigONE has been running since 2017, founded by people who came from the Yunbi exchange. Spot stands at nine hundred pairs, derivatives at a hundred perpetuals with a rate, an accrual interval and a mark price on each. Margin trading, leveraged tokens, staking and its own ONE token for discounts sit alongside. Everything is served openly, including the size of the best quotes.
Where BigONE is strong
~900 pairs and 100 contracts, best quotes with sizes, an open network directory with withdrawal fees, the ONE token for discounts.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Jurisdiction. LBank sits in British Virgin Islands, BigONE in Seychelles. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native tokens. LBank has LBK, BigONE has ONE: holders usually get fee discounts and access to launches.
- Strengths side by side. LBank: 830 perpetuals, a broad P2P, early listings, running since 2015; BigONE: ~900 pairs and 100 contracts, best quotes with sizes, an open network directory with withdrawal fees, the ONE token for discounts.
- Which job. LBank is for funding, P2P and finding fresh coins, while BigONE is as an additional venue in spot routes and funding.
- Worth remembering. LBank: we do not show it in cross-exchange spot arbitrage: it serves its book one pair per request. BigONE: the top of the book is thin: on major coins the best price often holds only a hundred dollars or two.

What people ask most
Questions about LBank
LBank: Why can I not withdraw coins bought on P2P straight away? The exchange holds them for a day after the trade completes — protection against a reversed payment. The day counts from when the order closes. For arbitrage routes that matters: the spread will have closed.
LBank: How old is LBank? It has run since 2015 — one of the older venues we cover. Registered in the British Virgin Islands, its token is LBK.
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.
Questions about BigONE
BigONE: Why are spreads on BigONE often large? Because the top of the book is thin: the size at the best price is often a hundred dollars or two. The percentage on screen is real, but it fills only for that much. Use the «depth» button before trading.
BigONE: How many pairs and contracts does BigONE have? By our measurements around nine hundred spot pairs and a hundred perpetual contracts. The figures are live and refresh with the data.
BigONE: Can coins bought in Alpha be withdrawn? Per the venue's own guide, assets in the Alpha account are meant for trading and cannot be withdrawn the ordinary way. That is worth knowing before buying.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both LBank and BigONE
Keeping both costs less than it seems: signing up is free, and a choice of two quotes usually beats one. A rare coin is bought where it exists and moved to the ecosystem — easier to hold, stake or sell into a deeper book there.
Live numbers
Live LBank and BigONE prices side by side
The figures above do not come from marketing pages: we compute them from the same market snapshots as the rest of the site. LBank and BigONE can be compared on facts rather than promises.
Where these numbers come from
Prices are read straight from the venues and refresh automatically. There is no averaged rate here: each exchange has its own, which is why both are shown side by side.
How often they refresh
Spot and futures every few seconds; fee tiers and withdrawal networks once a day.
What the numbers say
Where LBank and BigONE diverge the most
Our scanner reads P2P on LBank only — 89 currencies. BigONE is the one of the two with a published USDT withdrawal: 0.78 on ETH. LBank carries more perpetuals: 848 where the other has 97.
The source of these values
Pair counts, withdrawal chains, fee tiers and P2P currencies are taken from the venues own public references, not from our judgement. Where a venue does not publish a field, we say so plainly instead of filling in a number.
