MEXC
LBankThe difference in one sentence
MEXC is a zero maker fee and an enormous spot list. LBank is early listings, a wide P2P and open futures data.
Fees
On MEXC the taker pays 0.05% and the maker pays nothing. That is rare: on most venues both sides pay 0.1%. For multi-leg routes it changes the arithmetic entirely — half the route can be walked for free with a limit order.
LBank charges the usual tenths of a percent, falling with volume and with the LBK token. Exact figures live in its help section, so confirm them in your account.

Why LBank is not in our spot arbitrage
The reason is technical and worth explaining. Comparing prices needs the best bid and the best ask — the numbers a trade would actually hit. LBank serves its book one symbol per request: covering every pair would take over a thousand calls per refresh cycle.
What it does serve as a list is the last trade price, and no trade fills at that. We prefer not to show numbers that cannot be executed, so LBank is absent from the spot tables. In funding, P2P and the coin rally section it takes part on equal terms.
Early listings: how to work with them
Both venues take coins before the large exchanges — that is their strength. Working with it is simple: before you calculate a spread, look at the daily volume of the pair. On a fresh listing the book is still filling up.
Who each one suits
MEXC — if you trade with limit orders and value the zero maker fee, and want to see its prices in our spot routes.
LBank — if you hunt early listings or work with funding: it publishes everything openly on perpetuals.
What the numbers say
Where MEXC and LBank diverge the most
In our scanner LBank shows P2P in 89 currencies, MEXC in 60. The longer contract list belongs to MEXC — 1,112 perpetuals, against 848. Only MEXC gives a measurable USDT withdrawal: 0.0100 over BSC.
The source of these values
Pair counts, withdrawal networks, fee rates and the P2P currency list come from the exchanges own public interfaces. Where a venue withholds a field, the table shows a dash and an explanation.
