What the numbers say
Where the gap between Phemex and Zoomex is widest
The USDT withdrawal cost is absent from open data for both Phemex and Zoomex. 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.
