Referral terms vary by region and account state.

The published numbers split this one: Bybit undercuts OKX on spot taker fees (0.1% vs 0.35%); the platform is cheaper on the maker side (0.1% vs 0.2%); OKX has the longer track record (since 2013 vs 2018). Neither side sweeps the table for Ireland, so the right pick depends on which row matters most to you. Every figure was re-checked against official pages on July 31, 2026, and the row-level sources are one click away below.

Open Bybit

Bybit and its counterpart are lined up on the same published rows below — entry-tier costs, verification, coverage, and local availability — with the winning cell decided by the published number alone, re-checked on July 31, 2026. Where a platform does not publish a figure, the row says so instead of guessing, because an unpublished number is a real answer about transparency too. Use the availability row first if you are signing up from Ireland: a cheaper venue that cannot legally take your registration is not cheaper.

Each check below names the platform whose published number wins that row outright, using the values re-verified on July 31, 2026. Bybit and its rival keep their source links in the last row, so any cell can be audited in one click before you commit funds — and if a provider stops publishing a value, the row flips to "not published" on the next re-check rather than staying frozen.

Using Bybit or OKX from Ireland

Signing up from Ireland puts Bybit and OKX under a local rulebook, and it is not what the fee table alone tells you. Central Bank of Ireland — designated national competent authority (NCA) for the authorisation and supervision of crypto-asset firms under MiCAR. MiCA Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland; authorisation is required for a CASP to operate in the EU. How money actually reaches the order book here: SEPA euro bank transfers — Ireland is a euro-area SEPA participant, so exchange deposits and withdrawals in euro run over SEPA credit transfers. SEPA Instant Credit Transfer (SCT Inst) offers near-real-time euro crediting, so funded exchanges can receive Irish bank deposits within seconds rather than business days. On tax treatment in this market: Irish Revenue applies no special crypto tax rules: for individuals, gains on disposal of crypto-assets are treated under Capital Gains Tax like other assets, with the standard annual personal exemption.
