Our Verdict
Neither exchange leads: across 6 criteria, Bitget and Bybit differ by less than measurement noise. Pick by the job you need done, not by an overall score.

On USDT withdrawal fees Bybit is cheaper than Bitget. That shows up on frequent withdrawals, where the gap compounds.

The average USDT fee is computed across all of the exchange's networks; the line under the page heading shows a different figure — the cheapest available network. Hence the two numbers differ: one answers "how much on average", the other "how much if you pick the best route".
Which one for which job
An overall score decides little: the two exchanges win on different axes. Here is which ones, with the number next to each.
How these two differ
Bitget and Bybit arrived at the same place by different roads. Bitget made its name on copy trading — the trader leaderboard and auto-follow sit at the centre of the product. Bybit grew out of derivatives and bets on its own terminal. Today both do much the same things, and the difference is emphasis rather than feature set.
In the data the lists are comparable: 2562 coins on Bitget against 796 on Bybit, with 539 shared. The withdrawal-reliability gap is more telling: 18.3% of networks closed against 19.1%.
Which one suits you
- → copy trading is your main instrument
- → you need a RUB P2P desk
- → you want auto-follow with public trader stats
- → you trade yourself and value the terminal
- → you withdraw often and watch closed-network share
- → you need book depth on major pairs
How to move funds
Moving funds between exchanges is an ordinary blockchain transaction: only the sender pays a fee.
- Pick a network open on both sides: the cheapest right now is PLASMA — 0 USDT on a $1,000 transfer.
- Copy the deposit address on the receiving exchange for that exact network — a transfer sent to the wrong one cannot always be recovered.
- Check the minimum withdrawal: on small transfers it matters more than the fee.
- Send it and wait for confirmations in the network explorer.
Access and verification
These terms change more often than the numbers above: every fact carries a check date and a source link.
| Criteria | Bitget | Bybit |
|---|---|---|
| Users from Russia | Works | Works |
| Verification (KYC) | Required | Required |
| RUB top-up via P2P | Yes | Yes |
| RUB card top-up | — | — |
The platform accepts registrations from Russia and its RUB P2P desk works.
Since 1 January 2024 Level 1 verification is mandatory for deposits, trading, withdrawals and P2P.
The platform still serves users from Russia and its RUB P2P desk works. Cards of sanctioned banks have been removed from the payment methods at times — the list of available banks shifts, so check it inside P2P before trading.
Since 8 May 2023 at least Level 1 verification is mandatory across all products: without it only closing positions and withdrawing remain available.
This is not legal advice. Exchanges change their rules without notice — check the terms on the platform itself before funding an account.

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.
