Kucoin vs Bitrue | Who Has Best Trading & Lowest Fees?

When it comes to trading fees, both exchanges offer competitive trading fees but let's compare them in detail to see which one comes out on top.

Let's start with Kucoin. This exchange charges a spot maker fee of 0.1% and a spot taker fee of 0.1%. For futures trading, the maker fee is 0.02% and the taker fee is 0.06%. These fees are already quite low, but Kucoin offers even lower fees for traders who exceed a monthly trade volume of 50 Bitcoins or hold at least 1000 KCS tokens.

Now, let's take a look at Bitrue which has a more complicated fee structure which differs based on which trading pair is used. For those buy buy and sell using BTC, ETH or USDT, they will pay a maker and taker fee of 0.098%. This is basically the same spot fee as Kucoin. However, trading pairs besides the ones we just mentioned, the fee jumps up to 0.28% for makers and takers. In terms of futures fees, those are also 0.098% which is quite a bit higher than what Kucoin offers.

Another difference is that Bitrue does not offer any rebates or discounts for higher trading volumes. The only discount they offer is a 30% discount for traders who use their native BTR token as a trading pair. Overall, while both exchanges offer competitive trading fees, Kucoin has the fee advantage over Bitrue for spot and futures.

Kucoin and Bitrue are both popular cryptocurrency exchanges that attract users from all over the world. When it comes to depositing fiat currencies, however, the two platforms differ greatly.

Kucoin offers support for depositing fiat currencies for 28 different fiat currencies such as EUR, AUD, CHF, GBP, RUB, and SEK. Almost all fiat deposit options on Kucoin are with Visa and Mastercard, and they charge a high 3.8% deposit fee for deposits with these payment methods. Kucoin does however also offer bank deposits with low fees (1 EUR) as is the case for EUR deposits.

In contrast, Bitrue does not support the deposit of fiat currencies. The only deposit methods available are via crypto deposits or buying crypto with a card, which incurs an expensive 3.5% fee or a $10 fee, whichever is higher.

Overall, we are not very impressed with the fiat deposit options of either Kucoin or Bitrue. While Kucoin does offer options for a wide range of fiat currencies, the fees to deposit are so high that it becomes prohibitive for many users. And similar on Bitrue, buying crypto with a card on the exchange is too expensive and simply not worth it unless users literally don't have any other options.

When it comes to withdrawing your funds, Kucoin and Bitrue differ once again in terms of available options. Let's start with Kucoin. This exchange only allows fiat withdrawals in EUR via SEPA which comes with a fee of 5 EUR. In terms of fiat withdrawals, Bitcoin withdrawals have a fee of 0.001 BTC while Solana withdrawals incur a fee of 0.005 SOL and USDT withdrawals require a fee of 5 USDT plus a percentage of the withdrawal amount.

On the other hand, Bitrue doesn't offer fiat withdrawals at all. Instead, users can only withdraw cryptocurrencies with differing fees depending on which coin is being withdrawn. For Ethereum, that fee of 0.01 ETH and for Bitcoih, it is 0.0026 BTC. For those that withdraw USDT, that requires a fee of $2.6 while Solana withdrawals have a fee of 0.00025 SOL.

Kucoin and Bitrue are two popular cryptocurrency exchanges that have similar features but also have some notable differences. Both exchanges have large user bases and have Android and IOS apps for easy access. In terms of available cryptocurrencies, both exchanges offer over 700 cryptocurrencies.

When it comes to signing up and KYC requirements, both exchanges require KYC verification only for fiat deposits and higher limits. Besides that, both exchanges allow users to signup, deposit cryptocurrencies and begin trading without going through a KYC process.

In terms of product and services, they both offer a similar set of products with the slight differences being that Kucoin also offers a web 3 wallet, an NFT marketplace and some other features not available on Bitrue.

In terms of trading fees, Kucoin offers lower fees for high volume traders and holders of 1000 KCS tokens, while Bitrue offers a discount of 30% for traders who use their BTR token. When it comes to depositing fiat currency deposits and withdrawals, Kucoin offers more options in both cases while Bitrue doesn't support fiat deposits at all.
