WEEX Trading Fees: Are Spot and Futures Fees the Same?

No. Spot and futures trading fees on WEEX are different: at VIP 0, spot charges 0.10% for both maker and taker orders, while futures charges 0.02% for maker orders and 0.08% for taker orders. 

Both fall as the VIP level rises, and at VIP 8 spot is 0.0048% maker and 0.018% taker, while futures is 0.01% maker and 0.04% taker.

How Do Spot and Futures Fees Compare at VIP 0?

At VIP 0, the entry level, WEEX charges the same 0.10% on spot for both maker and taker orders. On futures, major USDT pairs such as BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, SOL/USDT and DOGE/USDT charge 0.02% for maker orders and 0.08% for taker orders.

The structure is therefore different as well as the level. Spot has no gap between maker and taker at VIP 0, while futures rewards maker orders with a rate that is one quarter of the taker rate. On a trade worth 10,000 USDT, a spot order costs 10 USDT whether it is a maker or a taker, while a futures maker order costs 2 USDT and a futures taker order costs 8 USDT.

How Do Fees Change at Higher VIP Levels?

Both markets get cheaper as the VIP level rises. On futures, the published ladder lowers the taker rate from 0.08% at VIP 0 to 0.075% at VIP 1, 0.05% at VIP 4 and 0.04% at VIP 8, and the maker rate from 0.02% at VIP 0 to 0.016% at VIP 4 and 0.01% at VIP 8.

On spot, the rates fall much further in percentage terms. From 0.10% for both maker and taker at VIP 0, spot drops to 0.0048% maker and 0.018% taker at VIP 8. The rates for every level of each market are listed on the Futures and Spot tabs of the WEEX fee schedule.

What Decides a WEEX VIP Level?

The VIP requirements on the WEEX VIP Program page are listed as “meet any”, so reaching any one of the criteria qualifies a user for a level. The listed criteria are 30-day futures trading volume, WXT balance over one day and asset value over five days.

VIP levels update automatically at 2:00 AM (UTC+8) the next day, and the new perks take effect immediately once the level changes. The exact amount needed for each level is on the VIP Program page, and the highest level has additional conditions, so it should be checked there.

What Else Affects the Fees Paid on WEEX?

The fee schedule is the starting point, and a few other items can change what is actually paid. Futures positions also carry funding fees, which are separate from trading fees and do not apply to spot trading. Selected futures pairs can have special rates, such as zero maker fees under certain conditions and promotions, so the fee schedule should be checked for the specific market being traded.

Credits can reduce the fee on futures orders. A coupon can only be used for transaction fees, while a trial fund can also cover trading fees, funding fees, position losses and part of the opening margin, up to its offset ratio and remaining balance. The deduction order is coupon first, then trial fund, then the user’s own assets, as explained in [the WEEX guide to trial funds and trading fees]({{URL: WEEX trial fund article}}).

Where Can the Current WEEX Fee Rates Be Checked?

The WEEX fee schedule lists the rates for each market, with separate tabs for Futures and Spot, and the VIP Program page shows what each VIP level requires and the perks it unlocks. Rates and requirements can change, so the live pages are the reference for any order.

On a trade, the fee breakdown appears in Order details on the futures trading page, including any coupon discount and trial fund applied. Contract trading carries risk, including liquidation when leverage is used, so fees, leverage and live prices should be checked before placing orders. Nothing in this article is investment advice.
