BX BitMEX VS CD CoinDCX
Both exchanges offer Spot. The differences below come from our individual reviews of BitMEX and CoinDCX.
| BitMEX | CoinDCX | |
|---|---|---|
| Founded | 2014 | 2018 |
| Regions | Historically available worldwide outside the US and a short list of other restricted jurisdictions. As of September 2026 the exchange is winding down entirely and is not accepting new registrations anywhere. | Built primarily for Indian residents, with KYC via PAN and Aadhaar or passport, and INR on-ramps through partner banking rails. Also accepts international users with passport-based KYC, though INR deposit/withdrawal rails are India-specific. Not available in the United States. |
| Products | Spot, Perpetual futures, Dated futures | Spot, Margin, Futures, Lending |
| Maker fee | Moot given the September 2026 shutdown; historically a tiered volume-based schedule with maker rebates on major perpetual contracts. | Verify current tier: CoinDCX runs separate volume-based maker/taker schedules for spot, margin, and futures (spot INR pairs have ranged roughly 0.03%-0.50%, INR-margined futures nearer 0.02%), so confirm the live rate for the specific product and market before trading |
| Taker fee | Moot given the September 2026 shutdown; historically around 0.075% at the base tier on flagship perpetual contracts, lower with volume. | Same pattern applies: verify the current tier for your specific product, since CoinDCX's taker rates differ meaningfully across spot, margin, and futures rather than following one flat schedule |
BitMEX pros
- Invented the modern perpetual futures contract, the product type most derivatives exchanges reviewed on this site now offer
- Zero customer funds lost to hacks across more than 11 years of operation
- Deep historical liquidity on BTC and ETH perpetuals while the platform was active
- 24/7 multilingual support with a genuine (if inconsistent) track record of resolving disputes
CoinDCX pros
- India's largest crypto exchange by registered users, with FIU-IND registration under India's anti-money-laundering framework
- Broad product range under one account: spot, margin (up to several times leverage), futures, and a lending product, plus 500+ listed assets
- Coinbase holds a minority stake in CoinDCX's parent entity following a deal cleared by India's competition regulator in December 2025, a notable vote of confidence from a major international exchange
- Accepts international users via passport-based KYC, not strictly limited to Indian residents the way some domestic-only platforms are
