Result based on available data

MEXC

3 of 3 criteria are comparable

MEXC leads on 2 of 3 criteria against 0 for Binance — the rest are close enough to call a draw. Which of them matters depends on what you need the exchange for.

On staking rates, across the coins both exchanges actually list, MEXC is ahead of Binance. If passive income is the priority, the edge is on its side.

MEXC has a lower average USDT fee across shared networks with withdrawals open than Binance. The result may differ on an individual network.

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

For a Russian-speaking user, Binance versus MEXC comes down not to fees but to ruble rails. Binance closed them: RUB deposits stopped on 15 November 2023, RUB support on P2P ended on 31 January 2024, and the ruble spot pairs were delisted. Crypto trading and crypto withdrawals still work, but rubles can no longer be brought in directly. MEXC still runs a RUB P2P desk.

Everything else is still two different weight classes with different strengths. Binance has liquidity and book depth nobody matches. The Yieldo withdrawal fee database has records for 694 coins at Binance and 9646 at MEXC, with 569 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.

Do not plan a deposit around an assumed no-KYC withdrawal allowance. MEXC publishes 80 BTC/day for Primary KYC and 200 BTC/day for Advanced KYC. Unverified access depends on the region and account restrictions; verification may be required before withdrawal. An approved withdrawal appeal leaves withdrawal and position-closing permissions only. MEXC KYC FAQ.

Which one suits you

Pick Binance if

→ you need the deepest liquidity on major pairs
→ you fund in crypto rather than in rubles
→ you trade size, where slippage costs more than fees

Open Binance

Pick MEXC if

→ you need a RUB P2P desk — Binance closed one on 31 January 2024

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.

The transfer runs over the blockchain: the sender pays the fee and the receiving side does not charge for the deposit.

Pick a network open on both sides — right now BSC costs 0.01 USDT on $1,000.
Copy the deposit address on the same network.
Check the minimum withdrawal amount.
Send it and wait for network confirmations.

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.

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.
