The scores are close: FxPro rates 3.9/5 and MEXC rates 3.6/5. FxPro has a marginal edge in our scoring, but the difference is small enough that your specific priorities — fees, platforms, or regulatory jurisdiction — should guide the final choice.
FxPro lists a spread from 1.2. Current spread data is not available for MEXC. Check both exchanges' full fee schedules, including maker/taker rates, for up-to-date pricing.
MEXC has no minimum deposit, while FxPro requires at least $100. This makes MEXC more accessible for traders looking to start with a smaller crypto investment.
FxPro holds top-tier regulation (FCA, FSCA, CySEC), providing stronger investor protections. MEXC may be regulated but does not hold top-tier status in our data. Verify regulatory status on each regulator's public register before depositing funds.
For beginners, two factors stand out: MEXC has no minimum deposit, removing the capital barrier entirely, and FxPro provides negative balance protection, capping losses at your deposit amount. Also compare demo account availability and educational resources before deciding.
FxPro offers up to 2:1 on perpetual or margin products, versus MEXC's 200:1 cap. Margin and futures trading carry higher risk than spot crypto; confirm product availability and jurisdiction-specific limits on each exchange's website.
MEXC charges $0.1 per trade, lower than FxPro's $7 per trade. Lower commissions benefit active traders who execute many trades per day. Crypto fees are typically quoted as maker/taker rates rather than fixed per-trade commissions; check each exchange's fee schedule for volume-based discounts.
FxPro supports MetaTrader 5, cTrader, MetaTrader 4, Proprietary Web/Mobile, while MEXC supports MEXC. FxPro has exclusive access to MetaTrader 5 and cTrader and MetaTrader 4 and Proprietary Web/Mobile. MEXC has exclusive access to MEXC.
MEXC offers staking while FxPro does not according to our data. Staking lets you earn passive yield on your crypto holdings directly through the exchange. Check MEXC's supported coins, lock-up terms, and estimated yields before committing.
MEXC lists 500+ coins while FxPro does not meet this threshold in our data. For traders who want access to many altcoins, MEXC has the broader selection. Confirm specific coin availability for your region on each exchange's website.
