KuCoin and HTX both publish their terms — this page compares them line by line for Singapore. Neither platform publishes enough overlapping numbers for a mechanical verdict in Singapore, so this page puts the terms they do publish side by side, each linked to its source. Every figure was re-checked against official pages on July 11, 2026, and the row-level sources are one click away below.

Open KuCoinKuCoin vs HTX: published terms
KuCoin and its counterpart are lined up on the same published rows below — entry-tier costs, verification, coverage, and local availability — with the winning cell decided by the published number alone, re-checked on July 11, 2026. Where a platform does not publish a figure, the row says so instead of guessing, because an unpublished number is a real answer about transparency too. Use the availability row first if you are signing up from Singapore: a cheaper venue that cannot legally take your registration is not cheaper.
| Brand | Published value | Source | Availability | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KuCoin | Spot maker fee: 0.1% · Spot taker fee: 0.1% | KuCoin VIP levels and fees | accepts Singapore | Open account |
 HTX | Spot maker fee: not published · Spot taker fee: not published | HTX official website | accepts Singapore | Open account |
Row-by-row verdict
Each check below names the platform whose published number wins that row outright, using the values re-verified on July 11, 2026. KuCoin and its rival keep their source links in the last row, so any cell can be audited in one click before you commit funds — and if a provider stops publishing a value, the row flips to "not published" on the next re-check rather than staying frozen.
| Check | KuCoin | HTX |
|---|---|---|
| Spot maker fee | 0.1% | not published |
| Spot taker fee | 0.1% | not published |
| Futures maker fee | 0.02% | not published |
| Futures taker fee | 0.06% | not published |
| Withdrawal fee example | 0.00009 BTC flat on native Bitcoin network (min withdrawal 0.00018 BTC); USDT TRC20 = 1.5 USDT flat | not published |
| Deposit methods | not published | Credit card, bank transfer, P2P trading |
| KYC requirements | not published | KYC required for fiat purchases and trading access; unverified/L1 users capped at 5 BTC per 24h withdrawals (Advanced KYC: 3,000 BTC/24h) |
| Availability | accepts Singapore | accepts Singapore |
| Official source | KuCoin VIP levels and fees | HTX official website |
Using KuCoin or HTX from Singapore
Signing up from Singapore puts KuCoin and HTX under a local rulebook, and it is not what the fee table alone tells you. Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) oversees retail crypto as a payment service. Payment Services Act licensing: crypto exchanges are licensed payment service providers under the digital payment token service category, typically holding a Major Payment Institution licence. How money actually reaches the order book here: FAST (Fast and Secure Transfers) is the instant Singapore-dollar interbank transfer rail used for exchange deposits. PayNow is the consumer-facing proxy-addressing overlay on FAST, letting users pay via mobile number, NRIC or business number. On tax treatment in this market: IRAS generally treats individuals' gains from buying and selling financial instruments, including digital tokens, as non-taxable personal investments; there is no capital gains tax.
