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.

Access and verification

These terms change more often than the numbers above: every fact carries a check date and a source link.

Criteria MEXC OKX
Verification (KYC) Tiered Required
MEXC

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 .

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.
