Who should choose Bitget

Bitget fits traders who want a broad menu on the spot side and access to tokenized stocks, since it lists 496 spot coins and 3,211 stock tokens. It also allows max leverage up to 125x, the higher of the two, which suits people who want that headroom on futures. Spot fees run 0.1% maker and 0.1% taker. KYC is required, and it has its own native token, BGB. It does not hold a MiCA licence.

Who should choose Bybit

Bybit suits traders focused on derivatives. It carries 576 futures coins across 710 contracts, more than Bitget on both counts, and it adds options on 8 coins, which Bitget does not offer. Its futures taker fee of 0.055% is slightly lower, and it also offers lending. Max leverage reaches 100x. KYC is required. It does not hold a MiCA licence; customers in the EU sign up with Bybit EU instead, a separate platform with a MiCA licence.

Verdict

Pick Bitget for a wider spot selection, tokenized stocks and higher leverage. Pick Bybit if your focus is futures depth, options and a slightly lower futures taker fee, with a MiCA-licensed platform for EU customers.
