How can I reduce trading fees?
To help you trade more efficiently, OKX offers several ways to reduce trading fees. Below are some effective options:
Increase your assets or trading volume
If you're a high-frequency trader or an institutional user, you may qualify for VIP status by meeting certain asset or trading volume requirements. You can apply for VIP status if you meet either of the following conditions:
Maintain account assets of 100,000 USD or more, or
Reach a total trading volume of 1,000,000 USD or more in the past 30 days.
After upgrading to VIP status, you can enjoy lower, preferential fee rates. For detailed VIP levels and fee standards, please refer to the trading fees page.
Become an affiliate and earn fee rebates
You can apply to become an OKX affiliate and earn fee rebates by successfully inviting 10 valid new users. Invited users who are flagged by risk controls don’t count as valid.
To qualify, the invited users must meet the following requirement:
The trading volume of any single order must be at least 50 USDT.
Invited users can reach the required trading volume through spot, perpetual swaps, futures, margin, or options trading. P2P trading doesn’t count toward the trading volume.

Using limit orders
To improve market liquidity, limit orders are charged lower fees than market orders. When trading, you may consider using limit orders, which are placed at a specified price and don’t execute immediately.
