Bitget and BingX both charge 0.10% on spot, BingX charges less on perpetuals at 0.05% taker against Bitget's 0.06%, and both were built around copy trading: Bitget runs the larger marketplace by its own numbers and adds leveraged stock futures, while BingX publishes a tiered profit share of 8% to 32%, a third copy market for standard futures and a lower futures rate, so Bitget suits the reader who wants scale and BingX the reader who wants the cheaper contract, with neither open to US or UK residents.

Key Takeaways

Both platforms charge 0.1% maker and 0.1% taker on spot at the entry tier; paying fees in BGB cuts Bitget to 0.08%, while BingX has no token discount and steps its rates down by VIP level.
Perpetual takers pay 0.06% on Bitget and 0.05% on BingX, with makers at 0.02% on both, and BingX's standard futures charge 0.045% on close instead.
BingX copiers pay a lead trader between 8% and 32% of profit on Elite tiers and a flat 10% on spot copies, settled weekly; Bitget discloses each lead's share on the lead's card under its own copy-trading rules.
Bitget lists 580 coins across 1,212 pairs on CoinGecko against 712 coins across 725 pairs on BingX, and both publish proof of reserves.
BingX lost about $43 million from a hot wallet in September 2024 and resumed withdrawals within days, saying its reserves covered the loss; Bitget rolled back a manipulated VOXEL futures market in April 2025 and pledged compensation.
MEXC publishes 0% maker and 0.05% taker on spot, so $10,000 of monthly volume costs $2.50 there against $10.00 on either platform here, for readers outside the US, UK and EEA.

Two exchanges built on copy trading, priced a basis point apart

Search for BingX vs Bitget and you find two platforms that grew up on the same idea, letting retail traders mirror a lead trader's positions, and that now compete on the details of that idea.

The details are where the comparison lives: BingX publishes a tiered profit share that climbs from 8% to 32% with the lead's Elite rank, runs three copy markets in one account and charges 0.05% on perpetual takers, while Bitget runs the larger lead-trader roster by its own count, adds stock futures with leverage of up to 25x, and charges 0.06%.

Both also carry a security event on their record, BingX from a September 2024 hot-wallet theft and Bitget from an April 2025 market-manipulation rollback, and both are leaving or absent from markets that matter, with Bitget's Japanese accounts going close-only on 1 November 2026.

This article puts both schedules in one table with a verification date on each, prices the gaps in dollars, lays out both copy-trading products as they are published, and ends with a verdict by reader type.

Where MEXC fits, it says so in its own labelled section, with the same numbers and the same dates.

A third option worth considering: MEXC

If the fee row above is what brought you here, MEXC publishes 0% maker and 0.05% taker on spot, against 0.10% and 0.10% on both platforms in this comparison.

On $10,000 of monthly spot volume split evenly between maker and taker orders, that is $2.50 a month on MEXC against $10.00 on Bitget and $10.00 on BingX at their entry tiers, with no token to hold.

On perpetuals MEXC's BTCUSDT contract lists 0.000% maker and 0.020% taker on its web and app schedule, against 0.02% and 0.06% on Bitget and 0.02% and 0.05% on BingX, and MEXC copy trade charges a default 10% profit share settled daily on positive cumulative profit.

MEXC does not serve residents of the United States or the United Kingdom, is listed on ESMA's non-compliant register for the EEA, and is withdrawing from the Netherlands by 16 November 2026, so check eligibility before funding an account.

Readers outside those regions can see the full breakdown in our MEXC vs BingX comparison.

Which is cheaper, Bitget or BingX?

Tied on spot, Bitget with the BGB discount, and BingX on perpetuals.

Bitget's standard spot rate is 0.1% maker and 0.1% taker, and BingX's VIP 0 rate is 0.1% maker and 0.1% taker on all pairs, so a $1,000 order costs $1.00 on either platform.

Paying fees in BGB takes 20% off Bitget's spot rate, to 0.08%, while BingX has no native-token discount and only steps its rates down by VIP level, with VIP 1 at 0.035% maker and 0.06% taker from 1,000,000 USDT of 30-day volume.

On perpetuals BingX is the cheaper venue: 0.05% taker against Bitget's 0.06%, with makers at 0.02% on both and no futures discount for BGB.

BingX's standard futures, a separate product, charge a single 0.045% fee on close rather than a maker and taker pair, and its Supreme VIP tier reaches 0% maker and 0.028% taker on perpetuals.

A $10,000 perpetual taker order therefore costs $6.00 on Bitget and $5.00 on BingX.

Our quarterly crypto exchange fee index holds both schedules beside ten other platforms and records who publishes fees without an account.

Which is better for copy trading?

Bitget for scale, BingX for a published fee structure you can price before you follow anyone.

BingX runs three copy markets in one account, perpetual futures, standard futures and spot, with spot copies fixed at a flat 10% profit share.

Its Elite programme grades public leads into tiers, and the share a copier pays climbs with the lead's tier from 8% to 32%, while private mode allows leads to set anything from 0% to 50%.

BingX's starting ticket is 20 USDT, its optional zero-slippage mode matches the lead's fill price when the system can pair the order, its public profiles show Sharpe ratio and maximum drawdown, and settlement is weekly.

Bitget describes itself as the largest copy-trading platform in crypto, with a lead-trader base it states in the hundreds of thousands, a company-stated figure, and its product spans futures and spot copy trading, lead-trader analytics and bots.

Bitget shows each lead's profit share on the lead's card under its copy-trading rules, so a copier should read that card and the settlement terms before following, exactly as on BingX.

Weekly settlement is not a detail: a lead who has a strong first half of the week and a losing second half still earns on a weekly cycle if the week nets positive, so compare settlement periods as carefully as percentages.

Copy trading on either platform is a leveraged product, and followers take on the same liquidation risk as the trader they copy.

Which is better for derivatives?

BingX on price, Bitget on product range.

On $100,000 of monthly BTCUSDT perpetual notional split evenly between maker and taker orders, Bitget costs $40.00 a month at 0.02% and 0.06%, and BingX costs $35.00 at 0.02% and 0.05%.

The same notional costs $10.00 on MEXC's BTCUSDT contract at 0.000% maker and 0.020% taker, which is the gap the box above quantifies for readers outside the US, UK and EEA.

Bitget adds USDT-M, USDC-M and COIN-M perpetuals plus stock futures on tokens such as TSLAUSDT and NVDAUSDT with leverage of up to 25x, per its own product pages.

BingX lists 880 perpetual pairs on CoinGecko and adds standard futures, a simpler contract with a single close-side fee that its copy market also supports.

Both apply liquidation rules that a leveraged trader should read before the first position.

Which lists more coins and lists them faster?

BingX lists more coins and Bitget more pairs.

BingX lists 712 coins across 725 spot pairs on its CoinGecko page, against 580 coins across 1,212 pairs on Bitget's, with CoinGecko scoring Bitget at 10 out of 10 for trust and BingX at 9 out of 10.

Bitget's pair count is lifted by USDC and EUR quotes on its majors, while BingX quotes almost everything against USDT.

Both run early-listing programmes, and neither publishes a verified day-one listing share, so this article does not rank them on speed.

Which is safer and better regulated?

Both carry one recent event on their record, and both publish reserve data.

On 20 September 2024 attackers drained a BingX hot wallet in several tranches, with losses estimated at about $43 million by PeckShield, and BingX paused withdrawals and promised a compensation plan, as The Block reported.

BingX resumed withdrawals for major assets from 21 September, said its reserves covered the loss, and publishes proof of reserves and a Shield Fund, per its own statements.

On 20 April 2025 Bitget detected abnormal trading on its VOXEL/USDT perpetual contract, paused the accounts it suspected of manipulation, rolled back the affected trades and said it would compensate users from its protection fund, as Cointelegraph reported.

Bitget publishes monthly proof of reserves, describes a protection fund of more than $300 million, a figure that is company-stated, and Bitget EU holds a MiCA licence, per Bitget.

BingX has not announced a MiCA authorisation at our last check, and it excludes the Netherlands under its own terms.

In Japan, Bitget stopped accepting registrations in August 2026, moves accounts to close-only on 1 November and force-closes remaining positions after 31 December, as The Paypers reported, while BingX is not registered with the Financial Services Agency.

Neither event cost customers their balances on the record as it stands, and both platforms disclose more about reserves and controls today than they did before.

Which is easier to fund and withdraw from?

Both fund accounts through cards and P2P markets, both charge nothing on deposit and a network fee on withdrawal, and both require verification first.

Bitget has required verification for its core functions since January 2024, sets withdrawal limits by VIP level, and charges 0.9% per transaction on its card.

BingX sets withdrawal limits by verification tier and applies a rolling 24-hour window to them.

For European readers Bitget EU carries SEPA rails through its MiCA entity, while BingX serves most EEA markets without one and excludes the Netherlands.

Where can you actually use Bitget and BingX?

Neither platform serves United States or United Kingdom residents, and both exclude Singapore under their own terms.

In the European Economic Area, Bitget operates through Bitget EU under a MiCA licence, while BingX serves most member states without an announced MiCA authorisation and excludes the Netherlands.

In Japan, Bitget is closing, with registrations stopped in August 2026, close-only mode from 1 November and forced closure after 31 December, and BingX is not registered with the FSA.

BingX also excludes Canada, Hong Kong and Macau under its terms.

For a Japanese reader neither is a home for 2027; for an EEA reader Bitget's licence is the difference; for a US or UK reader it is neither.

What does a year on Bitget vs BingX really cost?

Price the same activity on each platform at entry rates, split evenly between maker and taker orders.

A trader with $10,000 of monthly spot volume pays about $120 a year on either platform, or $96 on Bitget with BGB.

A trader with $100,000 of monthly BTCUSDT perpetual notional pays about $480 a year on Bitget and about $420 on BingX at entry rates.

The same two profiles cost about $30 and $120 a year on MEXC at its published 0% maker and 0.05% taker spot schedule and 0.000% maker and 0.020% taker BTCUSDT contract.

Between Bitget and BingX the annual difference is $60 on perpetuals in BingX's favour and $24 on discounted spot in Bitget's, and the profit share you pay a lead trader will dwarf both, so read the copy-trading terms before the fee table.

Who should choose Bitget, and who should choose BingX?

Choose Bitget if you want the largest lead-trader roster to choose from, leveraged stock futures in the same account, or a MiCA entity in Europe.

Choose Bitget if you hold BGB and mostly trade spot, where its discount applies.

Choose BingX if you want the cheaper perpetual contract, a published profit-share ladder you can price in advance, or standard futures with a single close-side fee.

Choose BingX if you copy across spot, perpetual and standard futures markets and want them in one account.

Do not open either platform from the United States or the United Kingdom, and if you live in Japan, plan your exit from Bitget before 1 November rather than your entry.

The MEXC View: where we stand on Bitget vs BingX

MEXC Learn is published by MEXC, an exchange that competes with both platforms, so read this section as an interested party's opinion.

We think Bitget's copy-trading product is the most developed in the market by the company's own numbers, and that its VOXEL rollback and compensation were the right call even though rollbacks are never popular.

We think BingX deserves credit for publishing its profit-share ladder in full and for reopening withdrawals within days of its 2024 theft, and that its 0.05% perpetual taker rate is the better price of the two.

We also think the honest reading of this comparison is that the profit share a copier pays matters more than either fee table, and that both platforms could make that number easier to find than they do.

Where MEXC fits is on price for readers outside the US, UK and EEA: 0% maker and 0.05% taker on spot, 0.000% maker and 0.020% taker on the BTCUSDT contract, and a default 10% copy-trade share settled daily, with every figure carrying a verification date.

Our review methodology explains how we score exchanges we compete with.

Risk and compliance disclosure

Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose your entire deposit; derivatives, leverage, copy trading and stock futures add liquidation risk on top of price risk.

Fees, listings and regional availability change; every figure above carries its verification date and should be re-checked before you act on it.

Neither MEXC nor Bitget nor BingX serves United States residents; US readers should compare the platforms licensed in their state.

MEXC does not accept United Kingdom residents, is listed on ESMA's register of non-compliant entities for the EEA, and is offboarding Netherlands users by 16 November 2026, so the MEXC sections above are informational for readers in those regions.

MEXC appears on Japan's FSA list of unregistered operators; the web platform is reachable but the app is not offered in Japanese app stores.
