What trading actually costs
At the base tier the three biggest venues charge the same on spot. The gap opens on perpetuals, where Bybit sits between the two — cheaper than Bitget, dearer than Binance.
| Bybit | Binance | Bitget | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spot maker | 0.1% | 0.1% | 0.1% |
| Spot taker | 0.1% | 0.1% | 0.1% |
| Perpetual maker | 0.02% | 0.02% | 0.02% |
| Perpetual taker | 0.055% | 0.05% | 0.06% |
On a $10,000 taker order in a USDT perpetual that is $5.50 on Bybit, $5.00 on Binance and $6.00 on Bitget. Ten such orders a month turn the difference into the price of lunch, not a reason to pick a venue.
Paying fees in MNT takes 25% off spot and 10% off derivatives on Bybit, and it does not apply to inverse contracts, bots, copy trading or API orders. Binance takes 25% off spot when fees are paid in BNB. Bitget has a BGB discount but does not publish the percentage, so we do not quote one.
Withdrawal fees are the number nobody puts in a static table — all three show them only in the withdrawal window, and they move with network load. A fixed figure quoted anywhere else is a guess.

Getting money in, and getting it out
- Verification comes before trading, not afterWithout KYC there is no trading, no Earn and no Buy Crypto — only crypto withdrawals inside a cap. Standard verification raises the daily withdrawal ceiling to 1,000,000 USDT. Guides that still say you can trade anonymously are describing 2022.
- P2P is the wide doorMore than 80 fiat currencies trade on Bybit’s P2P desk, which is usually the route that works when cards are declined. Bank transfers are credited in up to 3 business days.
- Fiat withdrawals are the weak spotMoney can leave as fiat only in BRL and ARS. Everywhere else the exit is P2P or an on-chain transfer — worth knowing before the first deposit, not after.
- Names have to matchThe account that funds the exchange has to belong to the verified person. Deposits from a friend’s account, a company card or a shared wallet are the single most common reason money sits in limbo.
February 2025, and what the reserves show now
On 21 February 2025 attackers compromised the signing interface of a single Ethereum cold wallet and took $1.46 billion — the largest theft in the industry’s history. Two things deserve to be separated: the loss was real, and the exchange stayed solvent. Every withdrawal request was processed within 12 hours.
The reserve gap was closed in about 72 hours with bridge loans, large deposits and OTC purchases, and an independent audit confirmed the shortfall was gone. What matters now is the attestation rather than the apology: the proof of reserves published on 27 May 2026, audited by Hacken using a Merkle tree, covered more than $16.5 billion and showed USDT at 106%, BTC at 108%, ETH at 104% and USDC at 164% of customer balances. Anything above 100% means client assets were fully backed on the snapshot date.

Where this does not work
Our own registry closes the sign-up link in 64 countries, and the check runs at the moment of the click rather than when the page is built — a reader in a restricted country gets an explanation instead of a dead form. United States, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and China (Mainland) are closed outright. Users in the European Economic Area are served by a separate company, Bybit EU GmbH, under its own licence, with its own product list.
How this page is kept honest
Every figure here carries the date it was checked and the page it came from. Numbers we cannot verify at the source — withdrawal fees, current Earn rates, the size of the insurance fund — are left out rather than estimated, and a figure that expires blocks the build until someone checks it again.
