Binance and HTX both publish their terms — this page compares them line by line for South Africa. On the numbers both platforms publish, HTX takes this one for most South Africa users: HTX has the longer track record (since 2013 vs 2017); HTX publishes proof-of-reserves attestations. That verdict is mechanical — lower published entry-tier cost and broader published coverage win rows, and ties stay ties. Every figure was re-checked against official pages on July 11, 2026, and the row-level sources are one click away below.
Binance 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 Where a platform does not publish a figure, the row says so instead of guessing, because an unpublished number is a real answer about transparency too.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 South Africa: a cheaper venue that cannot legally take your registration is not cheaper.
| Brand | Published value | Source | Availability | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Binance | Spot maker fee: 0.1% · Spot taker fee: 0.1% | Binance trading fees | accepts South Africa | Open account |
| HTX Top pick for South Africa | Spot maker fee: not published · Spot taker fee: not published | HTX official website | accepts South Africa | Open account |
Each check below names the platform whose published number wins that row outright, using the values re-verified on July 11, 2026. Binance 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 | Binance | HTX |
|---|---|---|
| Spot maker fee | 0.1% | not published |
| Spot taker fee | 0.1% | 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) |
| Listed assets | not published | 700+ cryptos (spot) |
| Proof of reserves | not published | Yes — 1:1 reserves, regular Proof of Reserves reports published |
| Founded | July 2017 | 2013 (as Huobi; rebranded HTX in September 2023) |
| Availability | accepts South Africa | accepts South Africa |
| Official source | Binance trading fees | HTX official website |
