Which one should you pick?
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.

Pick Bybit if
You want the widest choice of altcoin perps, copy trading and a mobile app, and accept KYC and custody.
The biggest menu of the series: 846 USDT and USDC perpetuals, up to 150x on BTC, 0.055% taker, copy trading and mobile apps. It is a centralised exchange: identity verified, balances held by Bybit. The referral pays new users up to 25 USDT, but EEA residents, France included, are being moved to Bybit EU.
