(Fee Discount Method 3) Spot Trading via Futures
As shown in the [OKX Fee Types], the trading fees for futures are up to 75% lower than those for spot trading.
- For limit orders, futures fees are a full 75% cheaper than spot trading.
- For market orders, you can trade at approximately 50% lower fees.
Using futures does not necessarily mean you must apply leverage. By setting the leverage to 1x, you can trade in almost the same way as spot trading—without liquidation risk—while enjoying much lower fees.
However, the selection of coins available on the futures market is more limited than on the spot market. If the coin you want isn’t listed for futures, you’ll need to use spot trading.
But if the coin *is* available on OKX’s futures market, then using futures trading with 1x leverage is a great way to reduce your trading fees.
OKX Fee Types
On OKX, fees vary depending on the trading method. Fees are applied differently for spot trading, futures trading, and asset transfers, so checking in advance can make managing your assets much easier.
Spot Fees
Spot fees refer to the fees paid to the exchange when executing spot trades. For example, buying Bitcoin with USDT or selling Ethereum—actual transactions involving immediate asset transfers—are considered spot trades.
| Type | Limit Order | Market Order |
|---|---|---|
| Spot Trading Fees | 0.08% of trade amount | 0.1% of trade amount |
- Check your discounted rate at [Spot Fee Discount Calculator].
Futures Fees
Futures fees are charged when trading futures contracts on the exchange. Futures trading involves buying and selling contracts based on the future price of an asset, rather than exchanging the actual asset immediately.
| Type | Limit Order | Market Order |
|---|---|---|
| Futures Trading Fees | 0.02% of trade amount | 0.05% of trade amount |
| Futures Funding Fee | While holding a position: Position size × Funding rate (varies based on market conditions) | |
- The futures funding fee is a cost incurred while maintaining a position. Depending on market supply and demand, it may be paid or received.
Asset Transfer Fees
OKX asset transfer fees refer to fees that apply when depositing, withdrawing, or swapping assets. There are three types: deposit, withdrawal, and swap fees.
| Type | Fee |
|---|---|
| Deposit Fee | None |
| Withdrawal Fee | None (only network fees apply) |
| Swap Fee | 0.1% |
- OKX deposit and withdrawal fees are charged when transferring assets to or from other exchanges.
- Swap fees apply when exchanging one coin for another directly on OKX without using the trading interface.
Types of OKX Futures Fees
Previously, we briefly mentioned futures fees in the [OKX Fee Types] section, but in order to trade futures safely and efficiently, it’s important to understand the fee structure more thoroughly.
So in this section, we’ll provide a more detailed overview of the different types of OKX futures fees.
Futures Trading Fees
Futures trading fees are charges incurred when executing futures trades.
| Category | Limit Order | Market Order |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Futures Trading Fee | 0.02% of trade amount | 0.05% of trade amount |
| (With Referral Code) Futures Trading Fee |
0.016% of trade amount | 0.04% of trade amount |
Futures Leverage Fees
What Are Leverage Fees?
Futures trading is different from spot trading in that it allows the use of leverage. Leverage trading lets you invest with a position size larger than your principal. For example, with $1,000 in capital, you could open a $10,000 position using 10x leverage.
In this case, trading fees are charged based on the total trade amount (position size), not your initial margin. As a result, the higher the leverage you use, the greater your fee burden becomes.
This characteristic is often casually referred to as a “leverage fee,” but in reality, it simply reflects the increased trading fees caused by a larger leveraged position. It does not mean that an additional fee is charged separately based on the leverage multiplier.
Futures Leverage Fee Table
Depending on the leverage multiplier, you can compare the effective fee rate relative to your actual capital (not the total leveraged trade amount).
| Leverage | Limit Order Fee | Market Order Fee | (Referral) Limit Fee | (Referral) Market Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1x | 0.02% | 0.05% | 0.016% | 0.04% |
| 2x | 0.04% | 0.10% | 0.032% | 0.08% |
| 5x | 0.1% | 0.25% | 0.08% | 0.2% |
| 10x | 0.2% | 0.50% | 0.16% | 0.4% |
| 20x | 0.4% | 1% | 0.32% | 0.8% |
| 50x | 1% | 2.5% | 0.8% | 2.0% |
| 100x | 2% | 5% | 1.6% | 4.0% |
| 125x | 2.5% | 6.25% | 2.0% | 5.0% |
- Futures trading offers leverage of up to 125x, but the maximum available leverage may vary depending on the coin.
- The fee rates shown in the table are rounded for convenience, so actual fees may differ slightly.
OKX Futures Funding Fees
What Are Funding Fees?
Funding fees in futures trading are charges paid or received when holding a specific coin position.
The funding fee works by balancing demand between long and short positions—traders either pay or receive fees depending on the position ratio. This mechanism helps reduce price gaps between the futures and spot markets, encouraging equilibrium.
Funding Fee & Settlement Times
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Futures Funding Fee | Position size × Funding rate |
| Settlement Times | 3 times daily, every 8 hours (9:00 AM, 1:00 PM, 5:00 PM) |
Funding Rate
The OKX funding fee is calculated by multiplying the funding rate by the position size.
Therefore, the fee amount depends on the specific funding rate applied to the contract. This rate is not fixed and constantly changes based on the ratio of buyers and sellers in the market.
- If short positions dominate, the funding rate becomes negative, and shorts pay the fee to longs.
- Conversely, if demand for long positions increases, the rate turns positive, and longs pay shorts.
Funding fees are not charged by the exchange itself—they are exchanged between traders.
This mechanism naturally helps narrow the price difference between futures and spot markets based on the long/short demand balance.
- Funding fees are only settled during scheduled settlement times. The rate may be shown outside those times but will not be applied until the next settlement.
