Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What should beginners look for when choosing an exchange?

Five key dimensions: ① Security (audited, insurance fund, security track record); ② Compliance (local licenses, KYC requirements); ③ Liquidity and depth (high volume, thick order books, low slippage); ④ Fee rates (spot/futures fees and whether platform tokens reduce them); ⑤ User experience (app quality, deposit options). For Chinese-speaking users, Binance and OKX are the two mainstream choices.

Binance or OKX — which should I choose?

Binance is the world’s largest exchange by volume, with the widest coin coverage, complete ecosystem, and the most thorough beginner tutorials and support. OKX stands out in copy trading, trading bots, and its built-in Web3 wallet. In short: pick Binance for one-stop convenience and breadth; pick OKX if you value copy trading/bots/Web3 wallet features. You can also register on both and compare real experience. See the Binance vs OKX comparison.

Do exchanges require KYC?

Yes. Compliant exchanges require KYC (identity verification) before deposits and trading — this is required by anti-money-laundering regulation. You’ll submit ID (passport/ID card) and complete facial recognition in the app. Always use your own real identity — never buy or borrow someone else’s account or you risk account freezes and fund loss.

What are spot and futures trading?

Spot trading buys and sells real cryptocurrency directly — the coins are yours, suitable for beginners. Futures trading is margin trading that uses leverage to amplify both gains and losses (possible liquidation) — higher risk, for experienced traders. Beginners should start with spot, understand the market first, then consider futures — and never use more capital than you can afford to lose.

Which has lower fees, Binance or OKX?

Both have similar base rates (spot ~0.1%), with reduction options: ① use a referral code at registration for rebates; ② pay fees with platform tokens (BNB/OKB); ③ raise VIP tier or trading volume. See the rebate comparison guide for details. Which is more cost-effective depends on your trading habits and platform token holdings.

Is it safe to keep assets on an exchange? How do I protect them?

Short-term trading on an exchange is convenient, but carries platform risk (hacks, insolvency, freezes). To protect: ① Enable 2FA and use a strong password; ② Use only official apps/websites and beware phishing; ③ Move large, long-term holdings to a self-custody wallet (especially hardware); ④ Check account activity regularly and freeze immediately if you spot anomalies.
