Averages over the recorded days of the 30 days to 2026-10-10, from our own recordings of both feeds. Spread = average quoted spread in basis points; top-20 depth = mid-side total notional over the top 20 price levels. The busiest shared pairs first; open a pair for every venue that lists it.
How the comparison is measured
The comparison uses one method for both venues: every trade and every order-book update of each feed is recorded at the venue's full book depth, then rolled up per UTC day. Spread is the average quoted spread in basis points; depth is the mid-side total notional over the top 20 price levels. Because both sides run through the same pipeline, the rows are directly comparable.
The numbers describe market structure, not a recommendation. Liquidity differs by pair and by time of day — the cross-venue analyzer shows the live picture, and the tick files behind every figure are in the Data Shop for your own measurement.

Why buy Binance USDT-M and Gate.io Future data here
Four things every page on this site is built on — and the reason the numbers above exist at all.
We record everything
The complete public feed of each venue as it was published: every Level-2 snapshot and update at the venue's full book depth, every trade with its aggressor side, every quote, funding, mark-price and liquidation event — for every instrument the venue lists, every UTC day since we added the venue. Nothing sampled, no top-N cut, no on-demand capture.
Institutional grade
Captured co-located at the venue with the exchange timestamp and our receive timestamp in integer nanoseconds, an event-id chain that makes any gap visible, and one normalized schema across 35+ venues — the same capture our own high-frequency trading engine and enterprise feeds run on.
