MEXC Fees Explained: Complete Trading, Futures & Withdrawal Fees Guide
Whether you are an experienced cryptocurrency trader or just getting started, understanding trading fees is essential to navigating the market and improving your trading experience. MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, offers a transparent fee structure that helps traders manage costs effectively in both spot and futures markets.
1. Futures Trading Fees
1.1 Trading Fees
In MEXC Futures trading, users may act in two roles:
- Maker: A limit order that does not immediately match with current Maker orders, but is placed in the order book as a pending order waiting to be filled. This adds liquidity to the market.
- Taker: A limit order or market order that directly matches with current Maker orders, removing liquidity from the market.
Currently, the fee rates for MEXC Futures are: 0.000% for Maker orders and 0.020% for Taker orders. If you hold MX tokens and transfer them into your Futures account, they can be used to offset trading fees with a 20% discount. If you hold more than 500 MX, you can receive a 50% discount.
Example: A user opens a short position equivalent to 1 BTC in BTCUSDT Perpetual Futures, with a position value of 100,000 USDT:
- If executed as a Maker order: Fee = 100,000 × 0.000% = 0 USDT
- If executed as a Taker order: Fee = 100,000 × 0.020% = 20 USDT
Note: No fees are charged for unfilled orders or canceled orders
In addition, certain MEXC Perpetual Futures trading pairs will adopt a tiered fee rate structure designed to encourage active trading among users of different levels. As fee rates may vary by region, you can check your Current User Level and the corresponding fee tiers on the Futures Trading page. As your trading volume increases, you will move into higher tiers with more favorable fee rates, while continuing to benefit from MEXC's deep liquidity and strong market depth.
1.2 Funding Rate
The funding rate is a mechanism set by cryptocurrency exchanges to keep the price of perpetual futures aligned with the price of the underlying asset. It applies specifically to perpetuals and functions as a funding exchange between long and short traders. The exchange itself does not collect this fee; instead, the mechanism adjusts the cost or returns of holding positions, encouraging the price of perpetuals to remain close to the underlying asset price.
On MEXC, the funding rate mechanism ensures that the perpetual futures price remains closely anchored to the spot index price, maintaining fairness and market stability.
In general, the rules for funding payments are as follows:
- If the funding rate is positive, long positions pay funding fees while short positions receive funding fees. Conversely, if the funding rate is negative, long positions receive funding fees and short positions pay funding fees.
- Only users holding positions at the funding timestamp are required to pay or receive funding fees. If the position is closed before the funding occurs, there is no need to pay or receive funding fees.
- Because funding fee settlement requires processing time, any orders executed within ±15 seconds of the funding timestamp may not be included in the funding fee settlement. Funding fees are exchanged directly between users, and MEXC Futures does not charge any funding fees.
2. Spot Trading Fees
Similar to futures, MEXC Spot trading also has two roles: Maker and Taker.
- Maker: A limit order that does not immediately match with existing Maker orders, but is placed in the order book as a pending order waiting to be filled. This adds liquidity to the market.
- Taker: A limit order or market order that directly matches with existing Maker orders, removing liquidity from the market.
Currently, the fee rates on MEXC for Spot trading are: 0.0000% for Maker orders and 0.0500% for Taker orders. If you hold MX tokens, you can enjoy a 20% discount on trading fees. If you hold more than 500 MX, you are eligible for a 50% discount.
Example: A user sells 1 BTC in the BTC/USDT Spot market and receives 100,000 USDT:
- If executed as a Maker order: Fee = 100,000 × 0.0% = 0 USDT
- If executed as a Taker order: Fee = 100,000 × 0.05% = 50 USDT
Note: No fees are charged for unfilled orders or canceled orders
3. Four Major Benefits of Understanding Fees
Fees are often overlooked, but they are a critical factor in determining long-term profitability.
- Reduce Costs: Selecting between maker and taker orders strategically, or using MX to offset fees, can meaningfully lower transaction expenses.
- Improve Strategy: Funding rates directly influence the cost of holding positions, helping traders determine whether to maintain positions over time.
- Strengthen Risk Awareness: A clear understanding of fee mechanisms helps traders avoid unnecessary losses from overlooked funding fees.
- Increase Profitability: With the same trading strategy, those who make effective use of fee structures can achieve higher net returns.
