Bybit USDT Perpetual Futures Maker Fee Structure
Bybit is one of the leading global cryptocurrency derivatives exchanges, operating a unique fee policy for USDT perpetual futures trading. Notably, by utilizing maker orders, traders can receive rebates rather than paying fees, attracting significant interest from traders worldwide.
Maker orders refer to limit orders that provide liquidity to the order book. Unlike taker orders that execute immediately at market price, maker orders wait in the order book until matched with another user’s order.
How to Receive Negative Maker Fees
Understanding the VIP Level System
Bybit’s fee structure varies according to VIP levels. Starting from regular users (VIP 0), VIP levels increase based on trading volume and asset holdings, with higher VIP levels offering more favorable fee conditions.
For USDT perpetual futures, maker fees turn negative starting from VIP 1 level. This means that instead of paying fees when executing maker orders, traders actually receive rebates.
Limit Order Utilization Strategies
To receive negative fees, you must use limit orders. When placing orders, confirm the following:
- Utilize Post-Only Option: Selecting this option ensures your order is added to the order book rather than executing immediately
- Set Appropriate Prices: Set buy limit prices slightly below current market price or sell limit prices above
- Use Order Modifications: Adjust limit prices according to market conditions to increase execution probability
Achieving and Maintaining VIP Levels
Trading Volume Enhancement Strategies
The key to VIP level advancement is 30-day trading volume. To maintain stable trading volume:
- Establish and consistently execute daily trading plans
- Consider automated trading through bot trading
- Diversify across multiple trading pairs to manage risk
BYB Token Holding Benefits
Holding BYB, Bybit’s native token, relaxes VIP level achievement requirements. Holding a certain amount of BYB lowers trading volume requirements, making it easier to reach higher VIP levels.
Actual Profit Calculation Examples
Maker fee rebates are proportional to trading amounts. For example, when maker rebate rates apply at VIP 1 level, rebates corresponding to that percentage are credited to your account with each trade execution. This can become a significant additional revenue stream, especially for high-volume traders.
Rebates are automatically reflected in your account immediately after trading and can be verified in trading history. Accumulated rebates can be used as additional trading capital or withdrawn.
Precautions and Risk Management
Focusing solely on negative fee benefits and engaging in excessive trading is dangerous. Fee rebates are merely additional benefits; fundamental trading strategies and risk management must take priority.
Additionally, VIP levels are updated daily based on 30-day trading volume, so levels may drop if trading volume decreases. Continuous trading activity is necessary, and loss risks due to market volatility must always be considered.
Cryptocurrency trading carries risk of principal loss due to high volatility, requiring careful investment decisions.
