Which exchanges actually list the top 40 coins
"More coins listed" is the oldest line in exchange marketing. It is also, for the assets most people actually buy, almost meaningless.
We check which of the 8 exchanges compared on this site carried a dollar spot market for each of the 40 largest crypto assets. The harvest is dated 2026-09-07 and the raw file is downloadable. Here is the count.
| Exchange | Assets listed (of 40) | Headline spot fee |
|---|---|---|
| Binance | 38 | 0.1% / 0.1% |
| Bybit | 38 | 0.1% / 0.1% |
| OKX | 38 | 0.08% / 0.1% |
| Kraken | 38 | 0.16% / 0.26% |
| Bitget | 38 | 0.1% / 0.1% |
| Gate.io | 38 | 0.15% / 0.15% |
| Coinbase | 37 | 0.4% / 0.6% |
| MEXC | 35 | 0.1% / 0.1% |
The spread is 3 assets, not a hundred
Binance lists 38 of the 40. MEXC, the narrowest of the group, lists 35. That is a gap of 3 — and 34 of the 40 assets are listed on every single venue in the set. The average asset here trades on 7.5 of 8 exchanges.
If your shopping list is the top 40 by market cap, listing coverage is not a differentiator. You will find what you want almost anywhere. The catalogue argument only starts to matter far down the long tail, and the long tail is also where listing quality, liquidity and delisting risk get worse — the part the marketing does not mention.
What actually differs: the fee
Fees do not converge the way listings do. Across the same 8 venues, the headline spot taker fee runs from 0.1% (Binance) to 0.6% (Coinbase) — 6 times as much for the same market order. That is a multiple, not a rounding difference, and unlike a listing it costs you on every order you ever place. We put the same numbers in dollars in what eight venues charge on $1,000 to $1,000,000.
The assets that are not everywhere
A handful of assets in the set are genuinely not universal:
- Ethereum — not on MEXC
- TRON — not on Coinbase
- Dogecoin — not on MEXC
- Shiba Inu — not on MEXC
- Polygon — no dollar spot market on any of the compared venues
- Fantom — no dollar spot market on any of the compared venues
If one of these is the reason you are picking a venue, check it before you sign up — that is a real constraint. For everything else, choose on cost.
How to check this yourself
The listing column ships in the open dataset as listed_on, one space-separated field per asset, alongside price, market cap, volume and drawdown. Download coin-snapshot.csv, or read the head-to-head pages under exchange comparisons.
*Listings read from each exchange's own ticker data on 2026-09-07. Fees are headline published rates; volume tiers and token discounts can lower what you pay.*
