KuCoin or Bitunix?
KuCoin and Bitunix are compared here on what matters when you choose where to trade: base trading fees, how many coins each lists, how quickly they add new ones, perpetual prices and funding on the coins both list, and safety signals such as proof of reserves and restricted regions. Live numbers update from the exchanges' public market data; fees and policies were checked against each exchange's own pages.
KuCoin lists 1,065 coins and Bitunix 1,125. 777 coins trade on both, 288 only on KuCoin and 348 only on Bitunix. In the last 30 days KuCoin added 5 new coins and Bitunix 0.
Fees above are base-tier rates before VIP levels and token discounts; KuCoin offers 3 discount options and Bitunix offers 2 discount options. Availability depends on where you live, so check the restricted regions before signing up.
