How we collected this data
- All fees are the base-tier rates for new accounts with no VIP status or token holdings, unless noted otherwise.
- Futures fees are for USDT-margined perpetual contracts, the most commonly traded product.
- Withdrawal fees are for BTC on the Bitcoin network. Many exchanges offer cheaper withdrawals via Layer 2 or other chains.
- Data was manually verified from each exchange's official fee schedule pages on 2026-03-22.
- Discounts reflect publicly advertised programs (native token discounts, referral rebates). Actual rates may vary by region.
