MEXC
BigONEIn short: the difference
How MEXC differs from BigONE
What MEXC is: the place where new coins show up first. On the market since 2018, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own MX token.
What BigONE is: an exchange with services around the trading. On the market since 2017, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own ONE token.
What MEXC gives you
Compared with an ecosystem, MEXC leans on its own strengths: The early-listing venue: fifteen hundred spot pairs and over a thousand perpetuals, among the broadest we cover. New coins land here before they reach the majors. There is P2P, savings and staking, Kickstarter launches and copy trading. The spot maker fee is zero, and USDT withdrawals on Plasma are free.
Where MEXC is strong
a zero maker fee, free withdrawals on Plasma, early listings, 1500 spot pairs.
What BigONE gives you
Early listings are not the only argument; BigONE answers with its own: 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
- Native tokens. MEXC has MX, BigONE has ONE: holders usually get fee discounts and access to launches.
- Strengths side by side. MEXC: a zero maker fee, free withdrawals on Plasma, early listings, 1500 spot pairs; BigONE: ~900 pairs and 100 contracts, best quotes with sizes, an open network directory with withdrawal fees, the ONE token for discounts.
- Which job. MEXC is for anyone chasing new coins and working from a wide list, while BigONE is as an additional venue in spot routes and funding.
- Worth remembering. MEXC: among thousands of pairs many are very thin: check the book before size. 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 MEXC
MEXC: Is the spot fee really zero? Zero for the maker — an order that rests in the book and fills. Buying at market makes you a taker, paying the normal rate, though one of the lowest around.
MEXC: What does trading on MEXC cost? The spot maker fee is zero. Under the zero-fee programme both sides are free; under the later standard model the taker pays 0.05%. The rate on your own fee page takes priority. Contracts are 0.01% maker and 0.04% taker as standard.
MEXC: What is the minimum order on MEXC? It belongs to each pair. The spot filters LOT_SIZE, PRICE_FILTER and NOTIONAL come from api.mexc.com/api/v3/exchangeInfo; contract parameters come from a separate directory with the contract size and minimum volume.
Questions about BigONE
BigONE: Does BigONE take part in your arbitrage sections? Yes, all of them. The exchange serves best quotes together with their sizes, so we can compute both the spread and the ceiling it fills at — which matters especially on a venue like this.
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.
BigONE: What does trading on BigONE cost? The base spot rate is 0.20% for maker and taker, and futures start at 0.02% and 0.06%. From there BigONE Points cut the rate: at the top Challenger level it reaches 0.06%. Your own figure depends on the points earned and is shown in the account.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both MEXC and BigONE
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.
