Bybit vs OKX
Two derivatives-first venues with near-identical pricing.
Bybit
A derivatives-first exchange that grew into a full-service platform.
OKX
A trading platform and a self-custody wallet in one product.
Fees here are close enough that they should not decide it. The real split is copy trading and derivatives ergonomics on one side, wallet integration and disclosure cadence on the other.
