Mahe, Seychelles, October 21, 2025 — BitMEX , one of the world’s most secure cryptocurrency derivatives exchanges, today announced a major upgrade to its spot trading fee structure, reducing spot trading fees by 50% and offering rebates of up to 0.015%. Following the recent market crash, this new model aims to actively reward traders and foster community support, resulting in one of the most competitive fee structures in the industry.

Trading fees are a critical component of a trader's profitability, directly impacting returns on each trade. By radically reducing trading costs, BitMEX aims to maximize trading efficiency and profitability for all users, from beginners to high-net-worth institutional clients.

The new fee structure, effective immediately, introduces several transformative changes:

• All spot trading fees have been reduced by 50%, with both the standard maker and taker fees dropping from 0.1000% to 0.0500% . This adjustment allows all regular users to enjoy highly competitive rates previously reserved for top VIP clients.
• "Trade and Earn": Introducing Maker Rebates: All VIP traders will receive maker rebates for providing liquidity. The program offers rebates of up to -0.0150% , meaning BitMEX now pays its highest-volume market makers to trade on the platform.
• Providing immediate support to the trading community: This initiative, launched in response to recent historic market volatility, aims to provide immediate assistance and support to help traders accelerate their recovery and maximize future opportunities.
