What Are Negative Maker Fees on Bybit USDT Perpetual Futures?
Bybit offers negative maker fees on USDT perpetual futures trading for traders who meet specific conditions. This system provides rebates instead of charging fees to makers who supply liquidity to the market through limit orders.
Negative fees are part of the exchange’s incentive policy to attract liquidity providers, benefiting traders who contribute to creating an active trading ecosystem.
Maker Fee Structure by VIP Level
Bybit’s USDT perpetual futures maker fees vary by VIP level:
Regular Users and VIP 1-2
- Regular users: 0.01% (positive fee)
- VIP 1: 0.006% (positive fee)
- VIP 2: 0.004% (positive fee)
Negative Fees Start from VIP 3
- VIP 3: -0.0025% (negative fee begins)
- VIP 4: -0.0025%
- VIP 5: -0.0025%
Starting from VIP 3 level, you receive a 0.0025% rebate on your trading amount when maker orders are executed. For example, if a maker order worth 10,000 USDT is filled, you receive 0.25 USDT.
VIP Level Requirements
Trading Volume Requirements VIP levels are determined by combined spot and derivatives trading volume over the last 30 days:
- VIP 1: $1 million or more
- VIP 2: $5 million or more
- VIP 3: $10 million or more
- VIP 4: $20 million or more
- VIP 5: $40 million or more
Asset Holdings Requirements (Alternative Path) If trading volume is insufficient, VIP levels can also be achieved through asset holdings:
- VIP 1: $50,000 or more
- VIP 2: $100,000 or more
- VIP 3: $250,000 or more
Meeting either condition qualifies you for the corresponding VIP level.
Strategies for Utilizing Negative Fees
Use Limit Orders Since negative fees only apply to maker orders, you must use limit orders instead of market orders. Place buy limit orders below the current price and sell limit orders above to wait for execution.
Enable Post-Only Option To prevent accidentally becoming a taker, activate the Post-Only option. With this enabled, orders that would execute immediately are automatically canceled, ensuring you always receive maker fees.
Provide Two-Way Liquidity Maximize fee revenue by placing limit orders on both buy and sell sides to capitalize on market volatility.
Additional Fee Reduction Methods
Utilize Referral Programs Signing up through a Bybit referral link can provide additional fee discounts. Some referral programs offer cashback on a percentage of trading fees.
Hold BIT Tokens Holding BIT, Bybit’s platform token, may provide additional fee discount benefits in certain cases.
Important Considerations
Negative fee benefits may be adjusted according to Bybit’s policy changes, and maintaining VIP level requires continuous trading volume or asset holdings. Additionally, maker orders are not always filled, so strategy adjustments based on market conditions are necessary.
Cryptocurrency futures trading carries high risk of capital loss due to high volatility and leverage, making thorough education and risk management essential.
