Updated:
HTX leads on 1 of 2 criteria against 0 for Bybit — the rest are close enough to call a draw. Which of them matters depends on what you need the exchange for.
HTX has a lower average USDT fee across shared networks with withdrawals open than Bybit. 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.
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

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
An HTX vs Bybit comparison usually opens with fee tables and closes without answering the two questions that decide it: whether you may use each venue at all, and what it costs to move coins between them. Access settles the rest. The HTX user agreement, version dated 18 June 2026, bars residents of the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and every EU member state from all of its services; the Bybit restricted-countries page, updated on 1 September 2026, names the United States, Canada and Hong Kong among others, but does not name the UK or the EU.
Base-tier pricing diverges on spot and almost meets on perpetuals. As of 10 September 2026 Bybit charges VIP 0 spot at 0.1% for maker and taker alike, while HTX Prime 0 charges 0.2% on both sides, or 0.15% when the fee is paid in HTX. On USDT-margined perpetuals both quote 0.02% maker, with taker at 0.055% on Bybit against 0.06% on HTX. Bybit prices like the derivatives venue it grew out of; HTX prices like a broad spot venue that sells the discount through its own token.
Coverage in the Yieldo withdrawal-fee database points the other way — 1157 coins on HTX against 797 on Bybit, 425 present on both and 732 only on the HTX side. That is our coverage, not the full listing of either exchange, and it matters for one reason: a coin you cannot withdraw is a coin you cannot move.
Two blocks here are one-sided. Yieldo holds no Earn or staking data for HTX, so the rate table carries only the Bybit column — a gap on our side, not evidence about the exchange: HTX Earn and staking are named in its own agreement and promoted most weeks, at limited-time rates no honest table would set against a standing one. Funding coverage for HTX is partial here too. What compares cleanly is withdrawal availability: the share of networks closed right now (Bybit 18.9%, HTX 19%) and the freeze count over 30 days, both below.
Which one suits you
- → you live in perpetuals and the terminal — this is the venue that grew out of derivatives, and the coin list is curated rather than long
- → you turn spot positions over often: on 10 September 2026 the base tier is 0.1% per side here against 0.2% at HTX Prime 0
- → you are based in the UK or the EU — the HTX user agreement bars residents of those jurisdictions, while the Bybit restricted list does not name them
- → the coin you need is missing on the other side: 732 coins in our withdrawal database sit only on HTX
- → you follow fresh listings — HTX runs a separate zone for them and adds tokens almost daily
- → you hold HTX and pay trading fees with it: that discount is what narrows the spot gap, to 0.15% per side on 10 September 2026
How to move USDT from Bybit to HTX
What it costs to move $1 000 in USDT over the cheapest route that is actually open right now.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLASMA | Free | 0.001 | open | unavailable for this amount |
| APTOS on HTX: APT | 0.002 | 0.1 | open | open |
| POLYGON on Bybit: MATIC | 0.07 | 0.07 | open | unavailable for this amount |
| BSC on HTX: BEP20 | 0.15 | 0.01 | open | open |
| TON | 0.15 | 0.3 | open | open |
| CELO | 0.5 | 0.05 | open | unavailable for this amount |
| SOL on HTX: SOLANA | 0.5 | 0.3 | open | open |
| ETH on HTX: ERC20 | 0.8 | 0.3 | open | open |
| TRC20 on Bybit: TRX | 1.3 | 0.5 | 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.
There is no bridge between the two: a transfer is an ordinary on-chain withdrawal, and you pay the sending exchange for it. A network only counts when withdrawals are open on the sending side and deposits are open on the receiving side, so the working routes are a subset — usually a strict one — of the 84 networks the pair has in common.
- Prepare the receiving account first. If that is Bybit, complete identity verification before sending — its help center states that Standard verification is mandatory across all products and services, and discovering that after the coins land is the expensive order of events.
- Pick the network from the direction card in the transfer block below; each leg is priced on its own for a $1,000 USDT move (HTX to Bybit: BSC at 0.01 USDT; Bybit to HTX: PLASMA at 0 USDT).
- Copy the deposit address for that exact network. An address issued on one chain will not accept a transfer sent over another, and such transfers cannot always be recovered.
- Check the minimum withdrawal amount. On small transfers the minimum blocks the move more often than the fee makes it expensive.
- Send, then follow confirmations in the explorer for that network before you plan the next step.

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.
