MEXC Cashback Guide 2026: How to Earn 50% Trading Fee Cashback
Trading fees are easy to overlook when looking at a single trade. For an active trader executing millions of dollars in monthly volume, however, even a small taker fee can become a significant recurring expense.
That is where cashback changes the calculation.
Through our partnership with MEXC, TetherBack gives traders 50% trading fee cashback. You continue trading normally on MEXC, while half of the trading fees covered by the cashback structure are returned to you.
The cashback is split into two parts:
-
25% is automatically credited to your MEXC account
-
25% is claimable through your TetherBack dashboard
-
Total cashback: 50%
For traders using the 0% maker and 0.010% taker rate covered in this guide, this can reduce the effective taker-side trading cost to 0.005% after cashback.
This MEXC cashback guide explains how the partnership works, how much you could save at different trading volumes, and how to create a TetherBack account, register with MEXC, connect your MEXC UID, and start earning cashback.
What Is MEXC?
MEXC is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange offering a broad range of crypto trading products.
Its trading ecosystem includes:
-
Spot trading
-
Futures trading
-
Perpetual contracts
-
Copy trading
-
Advanced order types
-
Mobile and web trading
-
API trading
-
A large selection of cryptocurrency markets
MEXC has become particularly relevant to active traders because of its futures markets and extensive selection of trading pairs.
Trading fees can vary by product, trading pair, account type, region, promotional campaign, and trading method. MEXC also applies a separate fee structure to API Futures trading, so API traders should check the applicable rate directly before calculating their costs.
For the TetherBack cashback structure covered in this guide, we are using the confirmed rate of:
| Order Type | MEXC Trading Fee |
|---|---|
| Maker | 0% |
| Taker | 0.010% |
What Is TetherBack?
TetherBack is a crypto trading fee cashback platform designed to help traders reduce the amount they effectively spend on trading fees.
Instead of changing exchanges, changing strategies, or reducing your trading activity, TetherBack allows you to earn cashback while continuing to trade normally on a supported partner exchange.
For MEXC traders, our partnership provides:
-
50% total trading fee cashback
-
25% automatically credited to your MEXC account
-
25% claimable through your TetherBack dashboard
-
UID-based account connection
-
No need to transfer trading funds to TetherBack
-
No need to execute trades through TetherBack
Your trades remain on MEXC. TetherBack provides the cashback layer around your existing trading activity.
How the MEXC-TetherBack Cashback Partnership Works
The process is straightforward.
You first create a TetherBack account and access MEXC using the partner registration link available through TetherBack.
Once your MEXC account is created, you copy your MEXC UID and connect it inside your TetherBack dashboard.
After the account is connected, you simply trade normally.
The cashback generated from your trading fees is divided into two equal parts:
| Cashback Component | Rate |
|---|---|
| Automatically credited to MEXC | 25% |
| Claimable through TetherBack | 25% |
| Total Cashback | 50% |
This means that for every $100 in trading fees, you receive:
-
$25 automatically through MEXC
-
$25 through TetherBack
-
$50 total cashback
Your final effective trading cost is therefore $50 instead of $100.
MEXC Maker and Taker Fees Explained
Before calculating cashback, it is important to understand the difference between maker and taker orders.
Maker Orders
A maker order adds liquidity to the order book rather than immediately matching an existing order.
This commonly occurs when:
-
You place a limit order
-
The order does not execute immediately
-
The order remains on the order book
-
Another trader later fills the order
For the fee structure covered in this guide, the MEXC maker rate is:
0%
This means there is no trading fee to rebate when an order is executed entirely at a 0% maker rate.
Taker Orders
A taker order removes existing liquidity from the order book.
This commonly occurs when:
-
You place a market order
-
Your order executes immediately
-
A limit order immediately matches an existing order
For the fee structure covered in this guide, the MEXC taker rate is:
0.010%
Because taker orders generate a trading fee, this is where the 50% TetherBack cashback can create meaningful savings for active traders.
How Much Does a 0.010% Taker Fee Cost?
The basic calculation is:
Trading Volume × 0.010% = Trading Fee
Here is what that looks like at different trading volumes:
| Trading Volume | Taker Fee | Trading Fee |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | 0.010% | $1 |
| $50,000 | 0.010% | $5 |
| $100,000 | 0.010% | $10 |
| $500,000 | 0.010% | $50 |
| $1,000,000 | 0.010% | $100 |
At first glance, a $10 fee on $100,000 of trading volume may not seem significant.
The picture changes when that volume is repeated every day.
How 50% MEXC Cashback Changes Your Trading Cost
Through TetherBack, 50% of the trading fee covered by the cashback arrangement is returned.
For a taker fee of 0.010%, receiving 50% back produces an effective cost of:
0.005%
The MEXC fee itself remains 0.010%. The 0.005% figure represents the effective cost after receiving the full 50% cashback.
| Trading Volume | Fee at 0.010% | 50% Cashback | Final Effective Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $1 | $0.50 | $0.50 |
| $50,000 | $5 | $2.50 | $2.50 |
| $100,000 | $10 | $5 | $5 |
| $500,000 | $50 | $25 | $25 |
| $1,000,000 | $100 | $50 | $50 |
The higher your fee-generating trading volume, the larger the dollar value of your cashback.
MEXC Monthly Cashback Calculator
Consider a trader averaging taker-side trading volume across 22 trading days per month.
Using:
-
0% maker fee
-
0.010% taker fee
-
50% TetherBack cashback
-
22 trading days
The estimated monthly costs would be:
| Daily Taker Volume | Monthly Volume | Fees at 0.010% | Cashback at 50% | Final Effective Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $1,100,000 | $110 | $55 | $55 |
| $100,000 | $2,200,000 | $220 | $110 | $110 |
| $200,000 | $4,400,000 | $440 | $220 | $220 |
| $500,000 | $11,000,000 | $1,100 | $550 | $550 |
| $1,000,000 | $22,000,000 | $2,200 | $1,100 | $1,100 |
A trader averaging $500,000 in daily taker volume over 22 trading days would generate approximately $1,100 in trading fees at a 0.010% taker rate.
With 50% cashback:
-
Total trading fees: $1,100
-
Automatically credited through MEXC at 25%: $275
-
Claimable through TetherBack at 25%: $275
-
Total cashback: $550
-
Final effective trading cost: $550
Over a full year at the same volume, that would represent approximately $6,600 in cashback, assuming the same trading volume, fee rate, and cashback structure remained in place.
Why Cashback Matters More for Active Traders
The value of trading fee cashback increases with trading activity.
A trader making one or two trades per month may generate relatively little in fees.
An active futures trader may generate substantially more because positions are opened and closed frequently.
Cashback can therefore be particularly useful for:
-
Futures traders
-
Scalpers
-
Day traders
-
High-volume traders
-
Copy traders
-
Traders frequently using taker orders
The key advantage is that you do not need to increase your trading volume to earn cashback.
If you are already generating trading fees, cashback simply allows you to recover part of an existing cost.
25% MEXC Cashback + 25% TetherBack Cashback
One important part of the MEXC cashback structure is understanding where the 50% goes.
It is not paid as one single transaction.
First 25%: Automatically Credited to MEXC
The first 25% is automatically credited to your MEXC account.
There is no separate TetherBack claim required for this portion.
Second 25%: Claim Through TetherBack
The remaining 25% is available through your TetherBack dashboard.
This gives you:
25% + 25% = 50% total cashback
For example, if you generate $400 in trading fees:
| Cashback | Amount |
|---|---|
| 25% credited through MEXC | $100 |
| 25% claimable through TetherBack | $100 |
| Total Cashback | $200 |
| Final Effective Trading Cost | $200 |

Is MEXC Cashback Worth It?
For an active trader already using MEXC, cashback can provide a straightforward way to reduce a recurring expense.
Consider two traders generating the same volume.
Trader A: Without 50% Cashback
Monthly taker volume: $5,000,000
Fee at 0.010%: $500
Final trading fee cost: $500
Trader B: With 50% TetherBack Cashback
Monthly taker volume: $5,000,000
Fee at 0.010%: $500
Cashback: $250
Final effective trading cost: $250
Both traders:
-
Used MEXC
-
Generated the same trading volume
-
Paid the same exchange trading fee
-
Used the same hypothetical trading strategy
The difference is that the second trader recovered $250 through cashback.
That is the core purpose of TetherBack.
