Conclusion: spot and futures fees, and the 20% MX discount
| Category | Maker | Taker | MX payment discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spot | 0.0000% | 0.0000%–0.0500% | 20% off |
| Futures | 0.000%–0.040% | 0.000%–0.100% | 20% off |
Low fees are only one factor in choosing an exchange. Crypto trading carries price-movement risk, and leveraged futures trading can amplify losses.
Spot fees: 0% maker, 0–0.05% taker, and pair-level examples
Spot trading fees are 0.0000% maker and 0.0000%–0.0500% taker, with a 20% discount when you opt to pay fees in MX (the MX deduction).
| Pair | Maker | Taker |
|---|---|---|
| MX/USDT | 0% | 0.05% |
| BTC/USDT | 0% | 0.05% |
| ETH/USDT | 0% | 0.05% |
| XRP/USDT | 0% (no fee) | 0% (no fee) |
※ The full pair-level listing runs to 191 pages, and rates differ by pair. The table above shows representative examples.
Futures fees: 0–0.04% maker, 0–0.1% taker, and the special-fee-rate note
Futures trading fees are 0.000%–0.040% maker and 0.000%–0.100% taker, also with a 20% discount via the MX deduction. Our exchange page lists futures leverage of up to 500x depending on the instrument (checked 3 September 2026). Leveraged trading amplifies losses as well as gains, so margin and money management deserve care.
The official fee page notes: 'The displayed fee rates apply to the majority of trading pairs for you. Your actual fee rate may differ. A special fee rate refers to a case where the actual rate applied to you differs from the standard base rate. The fees shown on this page are for general users and may not apply to institutional investors, market makers, projects, or API accounts.' There is no public table of VIP-tier rates; these are shown after login or through official communications.

Ways to reduce fees
- Placing maker orders (resting an order on the book rather than taking liquidity) makes the maker rate more likely to apply, on both spot and futures
- Paying fees in the MX token gives a 20% discount
- Choosing a lower-fee network such as TRC20 or BEP20 for transfers and withdrawals can reduce withdrawal costs (double-check the network is supported before selecting it)
- Special fee rates for institutional investors, market makers, and API accounts may differ from the rates shown on the public page
