Questions
Is dYdX or Gate cheaper to trade?
Opening and closing $10,000 of BTC with market orders costs $20.60 on dYdX and $15.01 on Gate right now, taker fee and order-book slippage together, so Gate is cheaper. Taker fees: 0.05% and 0.075%.
Which has more markets, dYdX or Gate?
dYdX lists 57 active markets and Gate 1080; 57 assets trade on both.
Does dYdX or Gate require KYC?
dYdX: No ID, a web3 wallet is enough; dydx.trade blocks the US, Canada, the UK and sanctioned places (close-only, then blocked after 7 days). Gate: KYC before the futures account opens; unverified accounts can only withdraw and close positions.
Can you arbitrage funding between dYdX and Gate?
Not profitably right now: none of the 57 assets on both paid more in funding over the last 7 days than a round trip on both costs.
Which is bigger, dYdX or Gate?
24-hour volume: dYdX $54.6M, Gate $21.25B. Open interest as each reports it: $55.5M and $12.40B. Gate reports open interest as longs plus shorts, both sides of every position; dYdX reports one side. For the same positions Gate's figure reads about twice as large. TVL: $68.5M and none published.
