Toobit
PhemexIn short: the difference
How Toobit differs from Phemex
Toobit is an exchange with a strong futures side. On the market since 2022, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own TBT token.
Phemex is a venue built for leveraged trading. On the market since 2019, jurisdiction: Samoa.
What Toobit gives you
The terminal is strong on contracts, but Toobit has its own ground: Derivatives come first here: over seven hundred perpetual contracts against USDT, with five hundred-plus spot pairs beside them. There is P2P, copy trading, Earn yield products and the TBT token. Its distinctive trait is how much the exit price depends on the network: the gap between cheap and dear is larger than at any other venue we cover.
Where Toobit is strong
700+ perpetuals, P2P in dozens of currencies, a notably cheap network if you pick right.
What Phemex gives you
Next to a derivatives terminal, Phemex answers with something else: 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 decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Age. Phemex has run since 2019, Toobit since 2022 — a gap of 3 years. It guarantees nothing on its own, but the older venue has been through more market cycles.
- Jurisdiction. Toobit sits in Seychelles, Phemex in Samoa. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native token. TBT on Toobit cuts fees and opens launches; Phemex has no such lever.
- Strengths side by side. Toobit: 700+ perpetuals, P2P in dozens of currencies, a notably cheap network if you pick right; Phemex: an even book, open data, the funding interval stated per contract.
- Which job. Toobit is for derivatives trading and for anyone who picks the network by price, while Phemex is as an additional venue in cross-exchange routes and funding.
- Worth remembering. Toobit: coins bought on P2P become withdrawable the next day — plan around it. Phemex: a narrow listing next to the Asian venues.

What people ask most
Questions about Toobit
Toobit: What is the maximum leverage on Toobit? Up to 200x on selected crypto futures and up to 500x on gold within TradFi. In August 2026 the venue cut the maximum across 36 contracts at once to 50x, 25x, 20x and 10x, so the figure has to be read per instrument.
Toobit: Which network is cheapest for USDT withdrawals? Neither Ethereum nor TRON: the BNB-based and Optimism networks come out cheapest, and the gap reaches hundreds of times. Exact values are in the table at the top of this page.
Toobit: Is spot trading on Toobit really free? On ordinary spot pairs, yes — the fee has been zero at every tier since 26 June 2026. Assessment-zone pairs run on a separate grid, though: 0.075% maker and 0.10% taker at tier zero.
Questions about Phemex
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.
Phemex: Does Phemex have its own token? No. Instead there is the Premium subscription with reduced fees, so the discount does not depend on an asset price.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both Toobit and Phemex
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. Keeping both pays off on funding: the rate on the same pair diverges between venues, and that gap is exactly what a delta-neutral pair earns.
