Which one suits you?
- Choose Delta Exchange if you want an India-first account funded in INR, BTC/ETH options next to futures, and a simpler onboarding path.
- Choose Binance if you want the widest choice of coins, the deepest order books and the tightest spreads on small caps.
- Many traders use both: Delta for INR access and options, Binance for altcoin futures. Funding rates also differ between them, which matters if you hold positions for days.
Fees in rupees: a quick example
A ₹1,00,000 position opened and closed with market orders pays the taker fee twice: 2 × 0.05% = ₹100, plus 18% GST on that fee = ₹118 in total on Delta. Using limit orders (maker) halves the fee. Funding is extra and depends on how long you hold; see the live Delta funding table and Binance funding history.
