OKX / Binance
Choose by the product you use, then compare the fee and referral conditions below. There is no universal cheapest exchange.
OKX
OKX combines spot, derivatives and options with trading bots and API tools. This offers different ways to place and automate orders. Product and tool availability varies by jurisdiction; automation does not remove trading risk.
Binance
Binance brings together spot, margin and futures with tools such as trading bots, P2P and educational material. These can be useful if you want several trading workflows in one ecosystem. Products and promotions differ by country and account.
| Exchanges | Costs to check | Referral offers |
|---|---|---|
| OKX | The public standard-pair spot table checked on October 21, 2026 shows 0.0800% maker and 0.1000% taker for regular users. This is a public snapshot, not a universal account rate. Use the logged-in trading-fee page and the Fees panel for your exact pair. OKX states that logged-out rates may differ from your account. Maker and taker fees differ, and a limit order can still execute as taker. Buy, Sell and Convert quotes can include spread. Official fee schedule ↗ | Use Mike Xu’s OKX invitation code X45LZTTE. Reward amounts, identity checks, deposit or trading tasks and regional eligibility depend on the offer shown to your account. No fixed cashback rate or reward amount has been verified for this link. Check the invitation page before signing up. Referral offers ↗ |
| Binance | The official regular-user spot table shows 0.100% maker / 0.100% taker, or 0.075% / 0.075% with the 25% BNB fee discount. This requires the applicable BNB setting and sufficient BNB. Pair-specific promotions, VIP tiers and futures have separate rates. The BNB discount is not referral cashback. Official fee schedule ↗ | Mike Xu supplied referral code BNBBABA and alternative JH5SZIO4. These links open bsmkweb.cc, an external redirect domain. Its official ownership and final Binance destination have not been verified. No “super rebate” percentage is confirmed. Verify the destination and account terms independently before entering credentials or depositing; the official referral page is linked below. Referral offers ↗ |
Compare the same product, pair and account tier. Maker/taker fees are only part of the cost: spread, slippage, funding and withdrawals also matter. A lower quoted fee does not guarantee a better execution price.
Spot fees are not futures fees. Referral rewards, token discounts and temporary campaigns are separate benefits; do not assume they can be combined.
