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 Singapore, 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.

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 Where a platform does not publish a figure, the row says so instead of guessing, because an unpublished number is a real answer about transparency too.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 Singapore: 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 Singapore

Signing up from Singapore puts Bybit and OKX under a local rulebook, and it is not what the fee table alone tells you. Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) oversees retail crypto as a payment service. Payment Services Act licensing: crypto exchanges are licensed payment service providers under the digital payment token service category, typically holding a Major Payment Institution licence. How money actually reaches the order book here: FAST (Fast and Secure Transfers) is the instant Singapore-dollar interbank transfer rail used for exchange deposits. PayNow is the consumer-facing proxy-addressing overlay on FAST, letting users pay via mobile number, NRIC or business number. On tax treatment in this market: IRAS generally treats individuals' gains from buying and selling financial instruments, including digital tokens, as non-taxable personal investments; there is no capital gains tax.

Which is better: Bybit or OKX?
