Understanding Your Spot Trading Fees


Spot trading on BTSE involves two main types of fees:


Maker Fee: When you place an order that doesn't fill immediately (like a limit order), and it gets added to the order book, you're a "Maker." You're essentially "making" the market by adding liquidity.


Taker Fee: When you place an order that fills immediately (like a market order), taking away from the orders already in the order book, you're a "Taker."


What are spot trading fees?


Spot trading fees are the charges you pay when you complete a trade on the spot market.


How do spot trading fees work?


When you make a trade, the fees are taken from the currency you receive. So, if you buy BTC using USDT, your fee is charged in BTC. But, if you sell BTC for USDT, then the fee is in USDT.


Can I get a discount on spot trading fees?


Yes, you can! If you're an active trader with us, you can enjoy discounted fees, depending on your VIP level. You’ll qualify for lower fees by trading a lot on spot or futures and holding specific amounts of BTSE Token.


Check out the table below for the exact details.

Re-evaluation: VIP levels are updated daily, relying on the preceding 30-day trading volume.

Checking Your VIP Level: Your current VIP status is accessible on the Account Profile Page.

Discounts: VIP level benefits and other promotional offers don't combine. If both are available, the larger discount prevails.

Volume Conversion: All trading volumes are measured in USDT. Other currency volumes are translated to USDT based on the prevailing spot rate.

Policy Reminder: BTSE doesn't permit users to self-refer through multiple accounts.
