Which one should you pick?
Pick ApeX Omni if
You already know you will stake APEX or trade enough volume to reach the VIP tiers.
A large multi-chain book: 100x leverage, more than a hundred perpetual contracts, and a VIP ladder that can take fees to zero. The catch is that the base rate (5 bps) is the second highest of the series, and the affiliate share is only visible once connected.

Pick Extended if
Fee level is your deciding criterion and you want crypto and RWA markets on the same account.
The cheapest taker fee in the series at 0.025%, on a venue built by an ex-Revolut team that settles entirely on Arc, the L1 developed by Circle. Deposits are accepted from seven EVM chains in USDC, ETH or cirBTC, which removes the usual bridging detour.
