Bitunix Fees Explained: How Much Do You Really Pay When Trading?
Trading fees are one of the most important costs to understand before actively trading cryptocurrency. While they may seem small on individual trades, they accumulate quickly over hundreds or even thousands of orders.
Whether you're trading Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or other cryptocurrencies on Bitunix, understanding how trading fees work can help you better manage your overall trading costs.
At TetherBack, we help traders reduce their effective trading costs by returning 60% of Bitunix trading fees through our cashback partnership.
In this guide, we'll explain Bitunix maker and taker fees, how trading fees are calculated, and how cashback helps lower your effective trading costs.
What Are Bitunix Trading Fees?
Trading fees are the charges paid whenever a trade is executed on Bitunix.
These fees apply across various trading products, including:
-
Spot trading
-
Futures trading
-
Copy trading
-
API trading
Every executed order generates a trading fee based on:
-
Order size
-
Fee rate
-
Order type (maker or taker)
The larger your trading volume, the larger your total trading fees become.
Bitunix Trading Fees
Bitunix currently displays the following trading fees:
| Fee Type | Trading Fee |
|---|---|
| Maker Fee | 0.008% |
| Taker Fee | 0.024% |
These are the standard trading fees before any cashback is applied.
Understanding the difference between maker and taker orders is important because each carries a different fee.
What Is a Maker Fee?
A maker fee applies when your order adds liquidity to the order book.
Common examples include:
-
Limit orders
-
Orders waiting to be filled
-
Passive entries
Maker orders help build liquidity in the market, which is why they typically have lower fees.
Examples of Maker Orders
-
Placing a limit buy below the current market price
-
Placing a limit sell above the current market price
-
Waiting for another trader to fill your order
What Is a Taker Fee?
A taker fee applies when your order immediately matches an existing order.
Examples include:
-
Market orders
-
Immediate limit order executions
-
Orders that instantly remove liquidity
Since taker orders consume liquidity, they generally have higher fees than maker orders.
Bitunix Trading Fee Examples
Maker Orders
| Trading Volume | Maker Fee | Trading Fee |
|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | 0.008% | $4 |
| $100,000 | 0.008% | $8 |
| $500,000 | 0.008% | $40 |
| $1,000,000 | 0.008% | $80 |
Taker Orders
| Trading Volume | Taker Fee | Trading Fee |
|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | 0.024% | $12 |
| $100,000 | 0.024% | $24 |
| $500,000 | 0.024% | $120 |
| $1,000,000 | 0.024% | $240 |
Although these costs appear relatively small, they become much more significant as trading volume increases.
How Trading Fees Are Calculated
The basic calculation is straightforward:
Trading Fee = Trade Size × Trading Fee Rate
For example:
Example 1
Trade Size:
$100,000
Maker Fee:
0.008%
Trading Fee:
$8
Example 2
Trade Size:
$100,000
Taker Fee:
0.024%
Trading Fee:
$24
The fee is charged when your order is executed.
For futures traders, fees are generally paid when opening and closing positions.
Why Trading Fees Matter
Trading fees affect every trader regardless of whether the trade is profitable.
You pay fees when you:
-
Open positions
-
Close positions
-
Buy crypto
-
Sell crypto
-
Trade futures
-
Trade spot
-
Use copy trading
-
Trade through APIs
For traders executing hundreds of trades each month, fees can become one of the largest ongoing expenses.
Reducing those costs helps improve long-term profitability.
