BingX Alternatives: 5 Exchanges Compared on Fees and MiCA Status (2026)

The best BingX alternatives in 2026: OKX, Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin and Gate compared on spot and futures fees, maximum leverage and EU MiCA authorisation from the ESMA register.

By the TradeReviewed research team. Facts from official exchange help pages and the ESMA MiCA register (October 2026), linked below. Not financial advice.

Quick answer

  • OKX is the closest BingX alternative: lower spot maker fee (0.08%), same futures fees (0.02% / 0.05%) and a MiCA licence via OKX Europe (Malta).
  • Bybit and KuCoin also hold MiCA authorisations through Austrian entities; Bitget and MEXC are not in the ESMA register.
  • If you leave BingX only because of copy trading, compare profit share rules first: BingX, OKX and Bitget all run copy trading.
  • BingX itself is MiCA authorised since 13 October 2026 (BingX EU, FMA Austria), so for EU users the switch is a choice, not a must.

Fees and leverage side by side

Standard (VIP 0) rates from each official fee page. Futures fees and leverage apply to global accounts; EU entities can offer less.
