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.

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
HTX vs OKX is a choice between two house styles, not a ranking. HTX runs a broad listing book and keeps a long tail of tokens withdrawable; OKX keeps a shorter curated list and spends its effort on licensing and product depth. The HTX counter 1157 and the OKX counter 477 sit side by side in the overlap block on this page, and both describe the Yieldo withdrawal-fee base rather than either venue's full listing.
Price is the structural part, and easy to verify. At the entry tier on 10 September 2026, OKX charged 0.0800% maker and 0.1000% taker on spot for a Regular user, while HTX charged 0.2000% on both sides at Prime0. On USDT-margined perpetuals the two nearly meet: 0.0200% and 0.0500% against 0.0200% and 0.0600%. Both discount from there, along different rails — HTX takes 25% off spot fees if you let it charge them in its platform token, while OKX states plainly that it offers no OKB fee-offset feature at all.
Earn is the one block this page will not compare. Yieldo holds no HTX Earn rows while the OKX catalogue is mapped, and that is a gap in our database, not in HTX, whose own user agreement names Earn and staking products among its services. Funding is only partly comparable for the same reason, and the settlement interval is set per contract on both sides — 8, 4 or 1 hour at HTX, 8, 4, 2 or 1 at OKX — so a rate means nothing next to another until both are normalised to the same period.
Jurisdiction is the hardest divergence and the one to check first. The HTX user agreement bars every EU member state, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, mainland China and the United States from all services. OKX runs the other way in Europe: OKX Europe holds a MiCA licence from the Malta Financial Services Authority, passported across the EEA, while its own restricted list covers the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, India and Malaysia among others, and restricts its fiat payment services for Russia. Both documents say the lists change without notice.
Which one suits you
- → the token you actually withdraw sits in the long tail: the coins carried only by HTX 886 are counted in the overlap block on this page
- → you are outside the EU, the UK, Singapore and Hong Kong, all of which its user agreement closes off entirely
- → you would rather verify in steps: the first level opens deposits and withdrawals, the higher ones raise the daily caps
- → you trade spot often enough for the entry tier to matter: 0.0800% and 0.1000% against 0.2000% on both sides at HTX, as of the verification date
- → you want Earn products next to the trading balance — the OKX catalogue is mapped on Yieldo and the HTX side has no rows at all
- → you live in the EEA: OKX operates there on a passported MiCA licence, while the HTX user agreement bars every EU member state
How to move USDT from HTX to OKX

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 USDT from HTX to OKX is a plain on-chain withdrawal: there is no intermediary rail, and you pay only the sender's network fee. A network counts as a working route only when HTX has withdrawals open on it and OKX has deposits open — the pair shares 49 such networks right now, and the transfer block prices each of them.
- Read the HTX to OKX card in the transfer block on this page: it names the cheapest network APTOS that has withdrawals open on HTX and deposits open on OKX. The cheapest rail shifts as promos and maintenance come and go, so read it fresh instead of from memory.
- Check the price before you send. The sender fee on a $1,000 USDT transfer is priced in the same block, and the exact figure 0.1 is on that card.
- Copy the OKX deposit address for that exact network. An address issued for one network will not accept a transfer sent over another, and such transfers cannot always be recovered.
- Check the HTX minimum withdrawal and the OKX minimum deposit: on small transfers they get in the way more often than the fee.
- Send, then follow the confirmations. Routes do go down for maintenance, and the reliability block on this page counts the withdrawal freezes of the last 30 days: the HTX figure 0 sits beside the OKX one 1 in the same row. The reverse direction, OKX to HTX, is priced separately on its own card.

This compares Yieldo withdrawal fee records, not the full trading listings. A missing record does not mean the exchange lacks the coin, its markets or Earn products.

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.
