BloFin vs Coinbase International

BloFin or Coinbase International: which to use

BloFin vs Coinbase International is two centralized exchanges with the same order book design and different terms. BloFin charges 2 bp maker and 6 bp taker, lists 495 perp markets and allows up to 150x. You can start trading without ID, with withdrawals capped at 20,000 USDT a day until you verify. Coinbase International charges 2 bp maker and 4 bp taker, lists 131 markets, allows up to 50x and pays funding hourly on every market. It requires ID and a suitability check. Fees, market count, leverage and KYC decide it for most traders.

How each exchange is built

BloFin is a centralized exchange (CEX): you open an account with the company, and the account holds your funds. Coinbase International is built the same way. Both match orders on a central limit order book.

What each charges per trade

BloFin's base tier is 2 bp maker and 6 bp taker, per BloFin's fee page. Coinbase International's base tier is 2 bp maker and 4 bp taker, per Coinbase International's fee page.

The maker rate is the same on both. A limit order that rests on the book pays 2 bp on either exchange. The taker rate differs. A market order pays it to open and again to close, so a round trip is 12 bp on BloFin and 8 bp on Coinbase International in fees alone.

The fee is only part of the cost. Slippage, the price you move by eating through the order book, grows with size. The cost table above adds it to the taker fee at each size from $1k to $5M, and the execution cost page compares trading cost across exchanges.

Markets, leverage and funding

As of 1 October 2026 BloFin lists 495 active perps, 115 of them stocks, commodities, FX or other real-world assets. Coinbase International lists 131, 34 of them real-world assets. If you want a wider choice of markets or more stock and commodity perps on one account, BloFin has more of both.

BloFin allows up to 150x on its highest-leverage market and Coinbase International up to 50x. Most markets on each allow less. BloFin lets you trade futures without ID and with no leverage limit.

Funding is the periodic payment between longs and shorts, and a positive rate means longs pay shorts. Coinbase International pays it every 1 hour on every market. BloFin pays every 1 hour, 4 hours or 8 hours depending on the market, so check a market's interval before you hold a position. An hourly market settles 24 times a day, an 8-hour market three times. The list further down this page shows the markets both exchanges have and each one's funding rate.

Who can use them

BloFin limits trading without ID rather than blocking it. Trading starts without ID, inside limits that verification lifts. Futures need no ID and carry no leverage limit, but withdrawals are capped at 20,000 USDT a day until you verify.

Coinbase International requires KYC: ID and a suitability check. Its perps are for eligible non-US countries and are closed to US and UK retail.

Reading the numbers on this page

Both exchanges publish open interest as one side of open positions, so the open interest row and chart above compare like with like. That is not the case on every pair on arb.sh, where some exchanges publish longs plus shorts.

Neither exchange has a TVL row or chart, as is usual for a centralized exchange. DefiLlama's figure on arb.sh covers bridge deposits or pools for decentralized exchanges, so it has nothing to show here. For size, use the volume and open interest charts above. For markets, see real-world asset perps across exchanges.
