MEXC vs Tapbit: On Which Pairs Does Tapbit's 0% Spot Fee Beat MEXC?
Only on five spot pairs: Tapbit charges 0% on BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL and DOGE against USDT, below MEXC's 0.05% taker.
Everywhere else MEXC costs less, and a mixed month of spot and BTC futures comes to 40 USDT on MEXC against 80 USDT on Tapbit.
Key Takeaways
- For anyone trading beyond five pairs or trading perpetuals, MEXC is our pick: a mixed month of spot and BTC futures costs 40 USDT on MEXC against 80 USDT on Tapbit.
- Tapbit charges 0% to makers and takers on BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL and DOGE against USDT, per its official fee page, which beats MEXC's 0.05% spot taker on those pairs.
- Every other Tapbit spot pair costs 0.1%, and its perpetuals cost 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker, against 0% maker on all MEXC spot pairs and 0.02% taker on BTCUSDT.
- CoinGecko scored Tapbit 6 out of 10 on September 25, 2026 against 9 for MEXC, while recording more spot volume and a tighter average spread for Tapbit.
- CoinGecko listed about 16,900 USD in exchange reserves for Tapbit that day, against roughly 618 million USD for MEXC.
- Tapbit Capital, Inc. and MEXC Global LTD both appear in a February 2025 Seychelles FSA annex of companies that did not apply for a licence by its deadline.
A 0% fee headline is only as useful as the list of pairs it covers.
At Tapbit that list has five names, and the rest of the exchange prices like much of the market.
This Tapbit vs MEXC comparison splits a trading month by pair, so each platform's cheaper side shows up in the numbers.
What Does a Mixed Month of Trading Cost on Tapbit and MEXC?
80 USDT on Tapbit against 40 USDT on MEXC, for 20,000 USDT of market orders on Tapbit's five zero-fee pairs, 20,000 USDT on other pairs and 100,000 USDT of BTC perpetual orders.
Tapbit wins the first bucket outright, and MEXC wins the other two.
Most traders do not stay inside five pairs, so the useful question is where the rest of their volume lands.
MEXC charges makers 0% on every spot pair and takers 0.05%, and its BTCUSDT perpetual costs 0% and 0.02%.
Those rates sit on the MEXC fee page, read on September 10, 2026.
Tapbit's official fee page, read on September 25, 2026, lists 0% on the five pairs, 0.1% on every other spot pair and 0.02% and 0.06% on perpetuals.
On the five zero-fee pairs, 20,000 USDT of market orders costs nothing on Tapbit and 10 USDT on MEXC, or 8 USDT when the fee is paid in MX.
On other pairs the same 20,000 USDT costs 20 USDT on Tapbit and 10 USDT on MEXC.
BTC perpetual orders worth 100,000 USDT at market cost 60 USDT on Tapbit and 20 USDT on MEXC's BTCUSDT line.
Limit orders on the five pairs cost nothing on either exchange, so the gap there only appears for market orders.
Automated futures trading is the exception, since MEXC bills API orders at 0.06% maker and 0.08% taker, which would put the BTC bucket at 80 USDT, above Tapbit's 60.
The MEXC View
Because this page is ours, Tapbit's real advantages are stated before our own case.
On its five zero-fee pairs Tapbit's market orders are free where ours cost 0.05%, and CoinGecko recorded more spot volume and a tighter average spread for Tapbit than for MEXC on September 25, 2026.
Our case covers everything outside those five pairs: 0% maker on every spot market, a BTC futures taker a third of Tapbit's, a Trust Score of 9 against 6, and about 618 million USD in tracked reserves.
We concede the regulator column, where both exchanges carry Seychelles records that the trust section lays out side by side.
Every dimension beyond fees gets its own score in our MEXC review.
Which Tapbit Pairs Trade Free, and Which Do Not?
Five: BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL and DOGE, each against USDT, trade at 0% for makers and takers on Tapbit's current fee page, last updated December 4, 2025.
Every other spot pair costs 0.1% on both sides, and perpetuals cost 0.02% and 0.06%.
Earlier reviews described the zero-fee pairs as a promotional campaign, but the fee page now presents them as part of the standing schedule.
On CoinGecko's tracked markets that day, the five pairs made up about 55% of Tapbit's reported spot volume.
HYPE/USDT alone accounted for about 21%, and it is not on the zero-fee list.
Because MEXC makers already pay 0% on every spot pair, Tapbit's edge applies to market orders on those five pairs.
Zero-fee offers at other exchanges are checked one by one in our zero-fee exchanges comparison.

Why volume rankings rarely agree is the subject of our exchange volume rankings.
What Do the Trust Checks Show for Tapbit and MEXC?
Tapbit held a 6 out of 10 Trust Score and MEXC a 9 on September 25, 2026, and a single Seychelles regulator annex from February 2025 names the companies behind both exchanges, as set out below.
Its incident log was empty for both of them.
The Seychelles FSA's February 14, 2025 press release lists Tapbit Capital, Inc. and MEXC Global LTD among companies with a Seychelles nexus that did not submit a complete licence application by December 31, 2024, both under its dissolved-companies heading.
The release says any listed company still in operation is operating illegally under the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2024.
For MEXC, the FSA then announced enforcement against MX Global Ltd, which it identifies as the platform's current operator, in a May 26, 2026 press release.
Dubai's VARA fined that operator on June 22, 2026, citing service to local customers without a licence and gaps in identity checks, according to its notice of fines.
On Tapbit's side, the one registration CoinGecko shows is a Canadian money services business entry, which it classes as an anti-money-laundering framework only.
Alongside the roughly 618 million USD that CoinGecko lists for it, MEXC publishes its reserve audit reports.
Who Should Choose MEXC, and Who Should Choose Tapbit?
MEXC suits traders who spread volume across more than a handful of pairs, anyone trading perpetuals by hand, and readers who want tracked reserves behind the exchange they use.
Tapbit fits a narrow case: market-order spot traders who stay on BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL and DOGE, and who accept its Trust Score and reserve figures.
One BTCUSDT perpetual trade on MEXC shows the 0.02% taker line on your own statement.
Our Tapbit alternatives guide ranks six destinations for traders leaving Tapbit.
A cheaper fee line does not change the rule for US, UK and Australian readers: use a platform licensed where you live.
For EU and EEA residents, the MiCA line in the notice below matters more than any fee figure here.

Risk Warning and Regional Notice
Perpetual futures and leverage amplify both gains and losses, and positions can be liquidated for the full margin amount.
At 500x, a move of roughly 0.2% against a position can trigger liquidation, so high tiers suit only experienced traders with strict risk controls.
This article is informational for readers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, where the platforms discussed may not be available or authorised.
In the EU and EEA, MEXC is not authorized under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
The Dutch regulator AFM has placed MEXC on its register of non-compliant entities, which ESMA republishes, and readers in those regions should factor this status into any decision.
In a May 26, 2026 press release, the Seychelles Financial Services Authority said the company it identifies as operating the MEXC platform does not hold a licence under its Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2024, that it is initiating enforcement measures, and that the public should exercise caution when dealing with the platform.
In a June 22, 2026 notice of fines, Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority said the entity operating as MEXC had served customers in Dubai without a licence from 2022 to April 2026 and onboarded users without meeting UAE know-your-customer requirements, and that it cooperated, complied with cease-and-desist orders and intends to seek a licence.
Nothing here is investment advice, and fees, leverage tiers, and availability change, so confirm current terms on each platform's official pages before trading.
