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.
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.
Everything for one coin
Rate, withdrawal and funding per coin at once: Bitget on the left, OKX on the right.

This pair has no data for that coin.
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
Bitget and OKX sit on different rungs: OKX is one of the largest venues with its own on-chain ecosystem, while Bitget is notably younger and known first for copy trading. The Yieldo withdrawal fee database has records for 4885 coins at Bitget and 477 at OKX, with 308 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 practical difference for a Russian-speaking user is fiat. Bitget runs a RUB P2P desk; OKX removed the ruble from P2P on 29 August 2023. If you do not need rubles, the difference comes down to ecosystem: OKX has the Web3 wallet and aggregator, Bitget the trader leaderboard.
Which one suits you
- → you need a RUB P2P desk
- → copy trading appeals to you
- → the core pair set is enough without an on-chain layer
- → you want the Web3 wallet and DEX aggregator in one account
- → venue scale matters
- → you fund in crypto
Access and verification
These terms change more often than the numbers above: every fact carries a check date and a source link.
| Criteria | Bitget | OKX |
|---|---|---|
| Verification (KYC) | BitgetRequired | OKXRequired |
Since 1 September 2023 Level 1 verification is mandatory for new accounts; users registered earlier were given until 1 October 2023. After that an unverified account keeps withdrawals, order cancellation, subscription redemption and position closing — opening new trades is blocked.
Verification is required for trading and withdrawals.
This is not legal advice. Exchanges change their rules without notice — check the terms on the platform itself before funding an account.
How to move USDT from Bitget to OKX
What it costs to move $1 000 in USDT over the cheapest route that is actually open right now.
| Network | Bitget fee | OKX fee | Bitget → OKX | OKX → Bitget |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLASMA | 0.012 | 0.0000054 | open | open |
| APTOS | 0.03 | Free | open | unavailable for this amount |
| AVAX on Bitget: AVAXC-CHAIN on OKX: AVALANCHE C-CHAIN | 0.04 | 0.017 | open | open |
| POLYGON | 0.07 | 0.008 | open | open |
| ARBITRUM on Bitget: ARBITRUMONE on OKX: ARBITRUM ONE | 0.1 | 0.0034 | open | open |
| TON on OKX: THE OPEN NETWORK (TON) | 0.15 | 0.022 | open | open |
| SOL on OKX: SOLANA | 0.5 | 0.3 | open | open |
| TRC20 | 1.5 | 1.5 | open | open |
| ETH on both: ERC20 | 2 | 0.29 | open | open |
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.
- Pick a network open on both sides: the cheapest right now is PLASMA — 0.01 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.

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.
