Crypto copy trading platform: which venues carry copy trading, and the fee your copied trades pay

What venues publish for this type

How to judge a copy-trading venue

1. Start with the venue's own entry tier. Copied orders are charged at your fee tier, not the trader's, and a new account is in the highest band by definition. Bitget and OKX publish 0.1% and 0.1000% taker; Bybit publishes nothing readable.
2. Work out the turnover, not just the rate. A strategy that turns your balance over many times a month multiplies the entry-tier fee by that turnover. The fee matters in proportion to activity you do not control.
3. Read what the leaderboard is. A leaderboard records trades already taken. It is not a forecast, and no figure on this site states what a copied strategy will return.
4. Confirm the feature exists on your account. Copy trading is not offered identically in every market, and a venue's US entity frequently carries a narrower feature set than its international one.

Of the venues read here, Bitget, OKX and Bybit all run copy trading as a built-in feature rather than through a third party. Their published entry tiers differ: Bitget's spot table opens at 0.1% maker and 0.1% taker, OKX's Regular user row is 0.0800% maker and 0.1000% taker, and Bybit's fee table could not be read at all because its help-centre article renders the rates from JavaScript.

That last point matters more for copy trading than for manual trading, because you cannot preview the cost of trades you did not choose.

A copy-trading feature places real orders in your account, and those orders are charged at your own fee tier, not the trader's.

A strategy that turns over your balance many times a month multiplies the entry-tier fee by that turnover, which is why the difference between 0.1% and 1.2% stops being academic. New accounts sit in the bottom band by definition, so the rate that applies to copied volume is the highest rate the venue charges, at precisely the moment you have least control over how much volume there is.

Copy trading routes orders; it does not promise a result. Past performance shown on a leaderboard is the platform's own record of trades already taken and is not a forecast of anything.

No figure on this site states or implies what a copied strategy will return, because no such figure can be published honestly. Copying a trader is a decision to put capital at risk on someone else's timing, and losses can exceed what a leaderboard's headline would suggest.

This site serves readers in the United States and Australia. Copy trading is not offered identically in every market, and a venue's global feature set is frequently narrower on its US entity than on its international one; the venue's own terms decide what your account can use.

Crypto Exchange Compare HQ earns a share of trading fees generated through its links, disclosed as rel=sponsored on every one, and lists venues by published fee rather than by what they pay. Nothing here is investment advice.

Common questions

Which venues offer crypto copy trading?

Among those read for this index, Bitget, OKX and Bybit each run copy trading natively. Bitget and OKX publish entry-tier fees of 0.1% and 0.1000% taker; Bybit's table could not be read from its own page.

Do I pay extra for copy trading?

You pay your own venue trading fee on every copied order, at your own tier, plus whatever profit share the feature itself sets. The venue fee applies regardless.

Does a leaderboard predict returns?

No. It records trades already taken. Nothing on this site publishes or implies an expected return from copying a trader.

Is copy trading available on a US account?

Not always, and not always on the same terms as an international account. The venue's own terms for your jurisdiction decide it.
