Rows marked “Reference” show catalogue width — the size of the listing, not the quality of the exchange — and do not count towards the overall result. The result comes from three substantive criteria: staking rates, average withdrawal fee and network availability.

The table shows the average USDT fee across the same set of networks where both exchanges allow withdrawals and publish a fee. The summary shows the fee on the named network (TRC20 first, then other networks), not the absolute minimum. The cheapest transfer between these exchanges is calculated separately and requires deposits on the receiving side.

The fee is the cheapest network with withdrawals open at each exchange; the networks are named separately below the numbers because they often differ. A dash means “not in our data”, not “unsupported”.

How these two differ

Binance and Gate.io rarely compete head-on: the first is about liquidity and scale, the second about list length and early sales. The Yieldo withdrawal fee database has records for 694 coins at Binance and 2741 at Gate.io, with 499 shared in this sample. This is fee database coverage, not the full trading listings: a missing record does not mean the coin is absent from the exchange.

The second difference is fiat: Gate.io runs a RUB P2P desk after verification, while Binance wound down ruble operations by 31 January 2024. Verification is mandatory on both.

Verified: 17 August 2026

This is not legal advice. Exchanges change their rules without notice — check the terms on the platform itself before funding an account.

A route requires open withdrawals at the sender and deposits at the receiver on the same network and in the same token form. Selection requires a known fee and a withdrawal minimum compatible with 1,000 USDT. The fee shown is the sender withdrawal fee; verify the terms at both exchanges before transferring.

Moving funds between exchanges is an ordinary blockchain transaction: only the sender pays a fee.

  1. Pick a network open on both sides: the cheapest right now is BSC — 0.01 USDT on a $1,000 transfer.
  2. Copy the deposit address on the receiving exchange for that exact network.
  3. Check the minimum withdrawal: on small transfers it matters more than the fee.
  4. Send it and wait for confirmations in the network explorer.

A change means the value moved between samples, not the sample itself: polling records the rate regularly, and without that collapse "changes" would simply equal the number of readings.

Withdrawal Fee Comparison

Each row compares one coin on one shared network; fees are in units of that coin. BTC includes only Bitcoin and the separate SegWit option; BTC representations on BSC, X Layer and other chains are excluded. The network and token form must match the receiving address details. Open withdrawals do not guarantee open deposits.
