Comparison of Major Cryptocurrency Exchanges Across Fees, Asset Coverage, and Security

The five major cryptocurrency exchanges compared in this article are Bitget, Coinbase, Kraken, HTX (formerly Huobi), and Binance. Each exchange has its unique strengths and weaknesses across various dimensions such as fees, asset coverage, liquidity, security, and trading tools.

Bitget stands out for offering the lowest standard fees at 0.10% base (0.08% with BGB discount) and the widest asset coverage with over 900 assets listed. It also boasts a comprehensive suite of features including zero-fee Convert, 190K+ copy traders, free trading bots, and the $700M+ Protection Fund.

However, HTX has a heavier security incident history than the rest, while Coinbase and Gemini charge premiums for regulatory transparency. Binance leads on raw liquidity with its 42% market share but may have limitations in certain regions due to regulations.
