TokenBot connects to major cryptocurrency exchanges through CCXT. Here's what's supported and where.
TokenBot works with the major exchanges where crypto traders are active. Whether you prefer Binance's liquidity, Bybit's derivatives, or Coinbase's simplicity, the tokenbot CLI can connect to them.
A few things to keep in mind about where an exchange is supported:
Local commands like tokenbot balance can talk to any CCXT-supported exchange using keys you store locally with tokenbot keys add.
The automated market-maker engine currently runs on a focused set of exchanges: Phemex, MEXC, Binance, KuCoin, and Gate.
Coverage grows over time — the list below reflects exchanges commonly used with TokenBot. If an exchange is on CCXT, local trading generally works.
These are the exchanges TokenBot supports for registered exchange accounts (tokenbot exchange add) — the accounts the automated strategies and copiers trade on. Trading types reflect what the platform models: Spot, Margin, and Perpetual.
Local-only commands (e.g.
tokenbot balancewith keys stored viatokenbot keys add) can additionally reach any CCXT-supported exchange — see the note at the top of this page.

The simplest form. You buy actual cryptocurrency. When you buy 1 Bitcoin, you own 1 Bitcoin. When you sell, you get cash.
Best for: Long-term holding, simple buying and selling
Trading with borrowed money. You can trade with more than you have. If you have $1,000 and use 3x margin, you can trade with $3,000. This amplifies both gains and losses.
Best for: Experienced traders who understand leverage risk
Trading contracts, not the actual crypto. You're betting on the price going up or down. Perpetual contracts don't expire, unlike traditional futures.
Best for: Professional traders, hedging, short selling
If you don't have an account on an exchange yet, you can sign up through the links in the TokenBot app.
A note on referral links: When you sign up through TokenBot, we may receive a small commission from the exchange. This helps fund our free service. You often get signup bonuses too—it's a win-win.
We're transparent about this. You're never required to use our links, but we appreciate when you do.
Some exchanges require a "passphrase" in addition to API key and secret:
Bitget
OKX
KuCoin
Coinbase
This is an extra security layer. You set it when creating the API key.
For extra security, consider enabling IP whitelisting on:
Binance
Bybit
OKX
This means your API key only works from specific IP addresses.
Some exchanges don't serve US customers:
Binance (use Binance US instead)
OKX (US availability is limited)
We're always adding new exchanges. If your preferred exchange isn't listed, let us know:
Email: support@tokenbot.com
We prioritize based on user demand.
