Our Verdict
Bitget leads on 3 of 6 criteria against 2 for OKX — 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, OKX is ahead of Bitget. If passive income is the priority, the edge is on its side.
On USDT withdrawal fees OKX is cheaper than Bitget. That shows up on frequent withdrawals, where the gap compounds.
Scorecard
| Criteria | Bitget | OKX | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staking Coverage (coins) | 387 | 171 | Bitget |
| Best Rates (top-10 coins) | 1 | 8 | OKX |
| Avg USDT Fee | 0.36 | 0.14 | OKX |
| Funding Coverage (coins) | 541 | 378 | Bitget |
| Network Availability | 81.7% | 83.8% | Draw |
| Withdrawal Coins | 2563 | 425 | Bitget |
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 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. Their coin lists are closer than you would expect: 2563 against 425, with 306 shared.
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
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 | OKX |
|---|---|---|
| Users from Russia | Works | With limits |
| Verification (KYC) | Required | Required |
| RUB top-up via P2P | Yes | No |
| 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 ruble was removed from the P2P desk on 29 August 2023; Russian accounts themselves were not closed and crypto trading and withdrawals keep working. We could not find an announcement in the help centre — the fact is known from business media citing the exchange.
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.

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.
