MEXC
BitunixIn short: the difference
How MEXC differs from Bitunix
First in the pair, MEXC, is an early-listing venue. On the market since 2018, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own MX token.
Second in the pair, Bitunix, is a venue that doubles as a toolkit. On the market since 2021.
What MEXC gives you
The rival’s service list is wide, yet MEXC wins on other things: 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 Bitunix gives you
Against an early-listing venue, Bitunix plays a different game: The derivatives tilt shows in the numbers: almost nine hundred perpetuals and five and a half hundred spot pairs against USDT, leverage to 200x where permitted. Futures are charged at 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker. The unusual part is a section of contracts on traditional markets — gold, silver, oil and the S&P 500.
Where Bitunix is strong
almost 900 contracts with funding rate and mark price in a single list, low futures fees, a full network directory with contract addresses and withdrawal costs.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Age. MEXC has run since 2018, Bitunix since 2021 — a gap of 3 years. It guarantees nothing on its own, but the older venue has been through more market cycles.
- Native token. MX on MEXC cuts fees and opens launches; Bitunix has no such lever.
- Strengths side by side. MEXC: a zero maker fee, free withdrawals on Plasma, early listings, 1500 spot pairs; Bitunix: almost 900 contracts with funding rate and mark price in a single list, low futures fees, a full network directory with contract addresses and withdrawal costs.
- Which job. MEXC is for anyone chasing new coins and working from a wide list, while Bitunix is as the futures leg in spot-versus-contract routes and a source of funding rates.
- Worth remembering. MEXC: among thousands of pairs many are very thin: check the book before size. Bitunix: the venue publishes no market summary at all: spot books have to be walked one pair at a time, so its prices refresh more slowly than the rest.

What people ask most
Questions about MEXC
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.
MEXC: Can I trade without verification? Spot is available with daily withdrawal limits. Lifting them, and P2P, require verification.
MEXC: What changed for Ukraine and the CIS? From 21 August 2026, BTC, ETH, gold and silver contracts in that region pay 0.01% maker and 0.04% taker instead of the previous zero and near-zero rates. From 7 September the same rates apply to stock futures.
Questions about Bitunix
Bitunix: How many contracts and spot pairs does Bitunix have? By our measurements, almost nine hundred perpetual contracts against USDT and five and a half hundred open spot pairs. The figures are live and are taken on every refresh.
Bitunix: What are the gold and S&P 500 contracts? They are contracts for difference: what trades is the instrument's movement, not the metal or the shares. They run on a separate account and are not available everywhere.
Bitunix: Why are Bitunix prices slightly older than the rest? The venue publishes no market summary: the book is only available one pair per request. We walk every pair with a separate process, and a full lap takes about forty seconds. The age of the data is shown next to each route.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both MEXC and Bitunix
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 MEXC and Bitunix prices side by side
The table above is built from our own market snapshots: USDT pairs, perpetual contracts, P2P ads and currencies, withdrawal networks and the cheapest one. MEXC and Bitunix 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 MEXC and Bitunix is widest
USDT leaves Bitunix over 20 networks and MEXC over 8: the wider the choice, the easier a cheap bridge is to find. Spot breadth favours MEXC — 1,413 USDT pairs to 534, 2.6× more. USDT leaves cheaper from MEXC: 0.0100 over BSC, against 0.50 TON on Bitunix. The futures list runs longer on MEXC: 1,112, against 889. P2P advertisements reach us from MEXC alone: 60 currencies.
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.
