LBank
KCEXIn short: the difference
How LBank differs from KCEX
LBank is an early-listing venue. On the market since 2015, jurisdiction: British Virgin Islands, its own LBK token.
KCEX is an exchange that covers several jobs at once. On the market since 2021, jurisdiction: Seychelles.
What LBank gives you
Compared with an ecosystem, LBank leans on its own strengths: 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 KCEX gives you
Early listings are not the only argument; KCEX answers with its own: The emphasis is on derivatives: over eight hundred perpetual contracts, each with its funding rate and mark price in the open, and spot across almost eight hundred and fifty pairs beside them. The venue rests on zero spot fees and low futures rates. Copy trading and coin launches are there too; the dense book sits in the first hundred pairs, where turnover concentrates.
Where KCEX is strong
800+ contracts with open rates and mark prices, zero spot fees per the venue’s own schedule, early listings.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Age. LBank has run since 2015, KCEX since 2021 — a gap of 6 years. It guarantees nothing on its own, but the older venue has been through more market cycles.
- Jurisdiction. LBank sits in British Virgin Islands, KCEX in Seychelles. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native token. LBK on LBank cuts fees and opens launches; KCEX has no such lever.
- Strengths side by side. LBank: 830 perpetuals, a broad P2P, early listings, running since 2015; KCEX: 800+ contracts with open rates and mark prices, zero spot fees per the venue’s own schedule, early listings.
- Which job. LBank is for funding, P2P and finding fresh coins, while KCEX is primarily as a futures venue in funding.
- Worth remembering. LBank: we do not show it in cross-exchange spot arbitrage: it serves its book one pair per request. KCEX: spot books are served one pair per request, so we keep the top hundred by turnover under watch.

What people ask most
Questions about LBank
LBank: What does trading on LBank cost? Spot is 0.10% both ways at tier zero; at the top the maker fee reaches zero and the taker falls to 0.03%. Perpetual contracts are 0.02% and 0.06%, with minimum rates of zero and 0.02% at the qualifying tiers.
LBank: Why is LBank missing from your cross-exchange spot arbitrage? The venue serves its order book one symbol per request — covering every pair would take over a thousand calls per cycle. And the last trade price is not the price you can buy at, so spreads based on it would be invented.
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 KCEX
KCEX: How many contracts and pairs does KCEX have? By our measurements over eight hundred perpetual contracts and around eight hundred and fifty spot pairs. The figures are live — they come from the exchange’s own directory on every refresh.
KCEX: Does KCEX take part in funding? Yes, in full. Every contract arrives in one list with its rate, accrual interval and next payout time, so the annualised rate is computed from the real interval rather than an assumption.
KCEX: What are KCEX fees? The venue advertises zero spot fees and reduced futures rates. In our tables the fee is yours to set in the «trade fee» field — put in zero and watch how the net spread changes.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both LBank and KCEX
Most people end up keeping both: one for daily trades, the other for what the first one lacks. 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 KCEX prices side by side
Everything in the table above is recomputed together with the rest of the site — pairs, contracts, P2P, networks and the withdrawal fee. LBank and KCEX 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 the gap between LBank and KCEX is widest
P2P data comes from LBank only — 89 currencies. In derivatives there is no gap — around 834 contracts on both. The USDT withdrawal cost is absent from open data for both LBank and KCEX. That is their disclosure choice rather than a gap in our collection: neither reference carries a fee field at all.
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.
