Result based on available data

MEXC

3 of 3 criteria are comparable

MEXC leads on 2 of 3 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.

On staking rates, across the coins both exchanges actually list, MEXC is ahead of Bybit. 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 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.

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

These two exchanges solve different problems, and the "which is better" argument almost always comes down to what you trade. Bybit grew out of derivatives: a deep book on major pairs, a mature terminal, copy trading. The Yieldo withdrawal fee database has records for 797 coins at Bybit and 9646 at MEXC, with 702 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.

If you come for a specific freshly listed altcoin, the odds are clearly better on MEXC. If you trade BTC, ETH and a dozen major alts, listing breadth buys you nothing — execution and withdrawal reliability do.

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 Bybit if

→ you trade perpetuals and care about the book, not the length of the coin list
→ you are fine verifying once and never hitting a cap again
→ you withdraw often: 18.8% of networks are closed now against 17.7% on MEXC

Open Bybit

Pick MEXC if

→ you would rather not verify for small amounts
→ you buy small-cap alts that Bybit simply does not list

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 Bybit and MEXC goes straight over the blockchain — there is no intermediary rail, you only pay the sender's network fee.

Pick a network that is open on both sides. The cheapest right now is PLASMA at 0 USDT on a $1,000 transfer.
Copy the deposit address on the receiving exchange for that exact network: a TRC-20 address will not accept a BEP-20 transfer, and such transfers cannot always be recovered.
Check the minimum withdrawal amount — on small transfers it matters more than the fee itself.
Send the withdrawal and follow the 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.

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.

FAQ

Which is cheaper to withdraw from — Bybit or MEXC?

It depends on the network, not on the exchange. The fee table above shows both columns for popular coins; for a transfer between the two exchanges the cheapest rail is PLASMA — 0 USDT on $1,000.

Do Bybit and MEXC require KYC?

Which exchange lists more coins?

The Yieldo withdrawal fee database has records for 797 coins at Bybit and 9646 at MEXC, with 702 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.

How do I move funds from Bybit to MEXC?

Over a shared network where the sender allows withdrawals and the receiver accepts deposits. This pair shares 96 networks; the cheapest right now is PLASMA. Check the route status in the table above before sending — a network can be paused for maintenance.

Which one is more reliable for withdrawals?

By the share of networks closed for withdrawal right now: Bybit 18.8%, MEXC 17.7%. That is not a verdict on the exchange as a whole, but a measurable fact: more closed networks means a higher chance your route is unavailable.

Can I fund the account in rubles?

Both venues run a RUB P2P desk. The set of banks and payment methods shifts — check it inside P2P before trading.

What to choose

MEXC leads on 2 of 3 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.
