Which crypto exchange has the lowest fees?

MEXC has the lowest standard spot fees — 0% maker / 0.05% taker — which undercuts the standard 0.10%/0.10% tier that Binance, Bybit, Bitget, and KuCoin all charge by default.

* Per CoinGecko trust score / rank.

MEXC — lowest fees on spot, MEXC

A couple of caveats worth noting:

• MEXC, Bybit, and KuCoin all don't serve US-based users; Binance has its own US restrictions too.
• All of these are 10 bps on taker, so the difference only really matters if you're placing limit orders (0% vs 0.10% on the maker side) or trading at volume where 0.05% compounds.
• Fees drop further on each exchange with volume-based VIP tiers and when paying in the platform's own token — that's exchange-specific, so worth checking before committing if you're a high-frequency trader.

For comparison, the standard at the biggest venues:

Binance — 0.10%/0.10%, highest trust score and deepest liquidity, Binance

Bybit — 0.10%/0.10%, Bybit

KuCoin — 0.10%/0.10%, KuCoin

If you tell me your region and whether you mainly do spot, futures, or API trading, I can narrow down which one is actually best for your situation — fees alone aren't the whole picture.
