A terminal against an ecosystem: Phemex is stronger at trading itself, HIBT at everything around it.

In short: the difference

How Phemex differs from HIBT

Phemex is an exchange with a strong futures side. On the market since 2019, jurisdiction: Samoa.

HIBT is a venue with bots and a Web3 side. .

What Phemex gives you

The rival’s service list is wide, yet Phemex wins on other things: A derivatives venue founded by people from bank trading desks. A hundred and fifty spot pairs and a hundred and twenty perpetuals, each with its own funding rate. There is savings, copy trading and trading bots. The book is even and the data is served openly, which makes its prices sound to compare with other venues.

Where Phemex is strong

an even book, open data, the funding interval stated per contract.

What HIBT gives you

Next to a derivatives terminal, HIBT answers with something else: HIBT is spot: just under five hundred pairs against USDT and noticeable turnover on the leading coins. Because the book is served a pair at a time, we keep the top hundred and fifty by turnover under watch, walked by a dedicated collector. Size comes with the best quotes, so how much a route can actually fill is visible too.

Where HIBT is strong

sizes at the best quote are open, nearly 500 USDT pairs, a relaxed request pace with no hard limits.

What decides it

Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows

  • Strengths side by side. Phemex: an even book, open data, the funding interval stated per contract; HIBT: sizes at the best quote are open, nearly 500 USDT pairs, a relaxed request pace with no hard limits.
  • Which job. Phemex is as an additional venue in cross-exchange routes and funding, while HIBT is as an extra side in spot and triangular routes.
  • Worth remembering. Phemex: a narrow listing next to the Asian venues. HIBT: the book is served one pair per request, so only the top of the turnover list enters the scanners.

What people ask most

Questions about Phemex

Phemex: Why is Phemex missing from the transfers section? It publishes the list of networks but not the withdrawal fees — its reference has no field for the charge at all. Showing networks without a price would be pointless.

Phemex: What makes Phemex useful for routes? An even order book and fast fills. As a secondary venue it gives you a second price to compare against, rather than another hundred coins with empty books.

Phemex: Does Phemex take part in your spot arbitrage? Yes. The venue serves its order book for every pair in one list, so comparing its prices with other venues is sound.

Questions about HIBT

HIBT: What registrations does HIBT hold? The entity KAIXUAN NETWORK CO., LTD. publishes an MSB registration with FinCEN under 31000298581033, a Canadian FINTRAC registration M22503476 and an Australian AFSL no. 435823. None of that is a universal licence for every service in every country.

HIBT: Why is HIBT missing from funding? The venue does have futures, but we found no open programmatic access to the funding rate, and without it the section is pointless.

HIBT: Does HIBT P2P support the hryvnia? The venue advertises over a hundred currencies and more than seven hundred payment methods but publishes no full list of codes. Verifiable sources confirm the yuan, dollar, Hong Kong dollar, baht and yen; the hryvnia is not among them.

Both at once

When it makes sense to keep accounts on both Phemex and HIBT

You do not have to pick one. Two accounts give you a fallback when the coin or network you need exists only on the other venue. Spot and earn stay on the ecosystem, contracts on the terminal. Moving between them costs pennies on the right network.
