Which one should you pick?
Pick edgeX if
You trade an order book and want stock and forex perps next to crypto.
A serious order book with the same base rate as Hyperliquid on the taker side, but a maker fee where Hyperliquid pays a rebate. The venue lists almost 300 contracts including stock and forex perps, and the fee tiers are the easiest of the series to read.

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.
