BitMEX today announced a major upgrade to its spot trading fee structure, reducing spot trading fees by 50% and offering rebates of up to 0.015%. This new model aims to actively reward traders and foster community support, resulting in one of the most competitive fee structures in the industry.
Trading fees are a critical component of a trader's profitability, directly impacting returns on each trade. By radically reducing trading costs, BitMEX aims to maximize trading efficiency and profitability for all users, from beginners to high-net-worth institutional clients.
The new fee structure, effective immediately, introduces several transformative changes:
All spot trading fees reduced by 50%
The standard maker and taker fee rates have both been reduced from 0.1000% to 0.0500%. This adjustment allows all ordinary users to enjoy the highly competitive rates previously only available to top VIP customers.
"Trading is Earning": Introducing Order Rebates
All VIP traders will receive maker rebates for providing liquidity. The program offers rebates of up to -0.0150%, meaning BitMEX is now paying its highest volume market makers to trade on the platform.
Providing real-time support to the trading community
This initiative, launched in response to recent historic market volatility, aims to provide immediate assistance and support to help traders accelerate their recovery and maximize future opportunities.
