OKX Fees Explained (2026): Which of OKX Three Fee Schedules Is Your Account Secretly On?
OKX charges Regular-tier accounts on its global schedule 0.08% maker and 0.10% taker on spot and 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker on futures, while EEA accounts without a derivatives account and all US accounts start at 0.20% maker and 0.35% taker, according to OKX's fee pages retrieved on 9 September 2026.
Key Takeaways
- OKX's global Regular tier is 0.08% maker and 0.10% taker on spot and 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker on futures.
- EEA accounts without a derivatives account and all US accounts start at 0.20% maker and 0.35% taker, so the same order can cost 1.00 USD or 3.50 USD depending on which schedule your account sits on.
- Holding OKB does not reduce OKX trading fees, and neither does a referral code, per OKX's Trading Fee Rules FAQ updated 9 September 2026.
- Convert and express Buy and Sell charge no separate fee but build the cost into the quoted spread, and every on-chain withdrawal pays a network fee that ranged from 0.0022 USDT on X Layer to 1.5 USDT on Tron.
- On a 1,000 USD spot taker order OKX charges 1.00 USD against 0.50 USD on MEXC, or 0.40 USD with the MX deduction.
- MEXC does not serve the United States, the United Kingdom or the EEA, so readers there should treat the MEXC figures as reference only.
Why Three Sites Quote Three Different OKX Fees, and All Are Right
Search for OKX fees and you will find 0.10%, 0.20% and 0.35% all quoted as the standard spot taker rate, on three different pages.
All three are correct for somebody.
OKX runs a global schedule, an EEA schedule with two tables, and a US schedule, and its own fee FAQ says the rates a logged-out visitor sees are published reference figures that can differ from the tier on your account.
Fees are the line traders check least and pay most often, because a rate that looks like a rounding error is multiplied by every fill for a year.
This guide verifies every number against OKX's fee schedule and help center as of 9 September 2026, then puts a 1,000 USD order through each schedule and, for readers who can use it, against MEXC.
OKX Trading Fees by Market on the Global Schedule
The global schedule applies to accounts that are not served by OKX's EEA or US entities, and it is the schedule most third-party guides quote without saying so.
Market | Maker (Regular) | Taker (Regular) | Best VIP maker | Best VIP taker | Other charges and rules |
Spot, standard pairs | 0.08% | 0.10% | Rebate of 0.0050% at VIP 9 | 0.0150% at VIP 9 | Fee is charged in the crypto you receive; zero-fee pairs are excluded from tier volume |
Perpetual and expiry futures | 0.02% | 0.05% | Rebate of 0.0050% at VIP 9 | 0.0150% at VIP 9 | Expiry settlement fee 0.01%; liquidation charged at your taker rate; funding is paid between traders |
Options | 0.02% in OKX's worked example | 0.03% in OKX's worked example | Set on the Options tab | Set on the Options tab | Fee capped at 7% of the option premium; no exercise fee on day options |
Spreads | Half the order-book rate for your tier | Half the order-book rate for your tier | Half the VIP rate | Half the VIP rate | Applies per instrument |
Convert and express Buy and Sell | No separate fee | No separate fee | No separate fee | No separate fee | Cost sits in the quoted spread |
P2P | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% | P2P volume does not count toward your fee tier |
Data verified as of 9 September 2026 against OKX's fee schedule (Spot and Futures tabs) and OKX's help center "Trading Fee Rules FAQ" (updated 9 September 2026). Options rates are the figures used in OKX's worked example; the Options tab of the live schedule is the authoritative source for each tier.
Spot Fees: 0.08% Maker and 0.10% Taker at the Regular Tier
OKX takes the spot fee out of the trade itself, in the crypto you bought when you buy and from the proceeds when you sell.
OKX's own example makes the arithmetic concrete: a market buy of 1 BTC as a taker costs 0.1% of 1 BTC, so 0.999 BTC lands in the account, while a limit sell of 1 BTC at 100,000 USDT as a maker costs 0.08% of 100,000 USDT, or 80 USDT.
The Spot tab of the fee schedule has four sub-tabs, Standard, Stablecoins, TRY pairs and Special fee pairs, so a stablecoin or lira pair is not necessarily on the standard rate.
OKX's fee FAQ names PYUSD/USDT, USDC/USDT, RLUSD/USDT and USDG/USDT as spot pairs that do not count toward your 30-day volume, and its EEA fee page states that filling orders on a zero-fee pair never moves an account up a tier.
If zero-fee pairs are the bulk of what you trade, it helps to know which exchanges are zero on every line rather than on a short list of pairs.
Futures Fees: 0.02% Maker and 0.05% Taker, Charged on the Full Position
Futures fees are calculated on the value of the position, not on the margin you post.
OKX's example: 100 BTCUSDT contracts worth 1 BTC at 20,000 USDT, opened with 10x leverage and 2,000 USDT of margin, costs 0.05% of 20,000 USDT, which is 10 USDT as a taker and 4 USDT as a maker.
There is no difference between opening and closing fees, so a round trip pays the rate twice.
Three charges sit beside the trading fee on futures.
A forced liquidation is charged at the taker rate of your current tier, an expiry settlement fee of 0.01% applies to every tier on dated contracts, and funding is settled between long and short traders every 8, 4, 2 or 1 hours depending on the contract, with OKX taking no cut of it.
Adjusting leverage or adding and removing isolated margin costs nothing on its own.
For where 0.05% sits against other venues, see the lowest futures fees across exchanges.
Options and Spreads
An options fee is the lower of two numbers: your fee rate applied to the contracts' notional, or 7% of the option premium on the same contracts.
The worked example in OKX's fee FAQ uses 0.02% maker and 0.03% taker, and the same 7% cap applies to exercise and liquidation fees on options.
Day options carry no exercise fee, and options combo trades placed through RFQ can receive up to 50% off.
Spreads are priced at 50% of each instrument's classic order-book rate for your tier.
Three Schedules, One Login: Global, EEA and US
OKX publishes different Regular-tier rates for different entities, and the difference on a spot taker order is 3.5 times.
Schedule | Who is on it | Regular spot maker | Regular spot taker | What moves the rate |
Global | Accounts outside the EEA and the United States | 0.08% | 0.10% | VIP 1 starts at 100,000 USD of assets or 1,000,000 USD of 30-day spot volume |
EEA, derivatives (X-Perps) account opened | EEA accounts that have opened X-Perps | 0.08% | 0.10% | Tiers measured in EUR, with VIP 1 at 100,001 EUR of assets or 1,000,001 EUR of volume |
EEA, no derivatives account | EEA accounts that have not opened X-Perps | 0.20% | 0.35% | Opening a derivatives account moves the account to the first EEA table |
United States, from 1 February 2026 | US customers, served by OKX INC. | 0.20% | 0.35% | Fee groups by trading pair; VIP 1 starts at 100,001 USD of assets or 30-day volume |
Data verified as of 9 September 2026 against OKX's global fee schedule, OKX's help center page "What are the spot trading fees, and how is my fee tier set?" for EEA users (updated 3 September 2026), and OKX's announcement "Updates to U.S. Fee Framework 2026" (published 8 January 2026, effective 1 February 2026).
EEA: Two Tables, and the Account Setting That Switches Between Them
OKX's EEA fee page publishes two spot tables side by side, and which one applies is set by whether the account has opened a derivatives (X-Perps) account.
With a derivatives account open, the Regular tier is 0.0800% maker and 0.1000% taker, with VIP 1 at 100,001 EUR of assets or 1,000,001 EUR of 30-day volume.
Without one, the Regular tier is 0.200% maker and 0.350% taker, and the ladder only reaches 0.030% maker and 0.055% taker at VIP 9, against a rebate of 0.0075% and a 0.0175% taker at VIP 9 on the first table.
The 24-hour crypto withdrawal limit column is identical on both tables, from 10,000,000 USD at Regular to 80,000,000 USD at VIP 8 and above.
The page also states that a referral code does not replace the fee schedule or the tier rules, so signing up with one does not by itself put the account on a different rate.
United States: Fee Groups and a 0.35% Starting Taker Rate
Since 1 February 2026, OKX US has priced spot pairs in three fee groups plus a zero-fee list.
Group 1 covers the top pairs, including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA and SUI against USD and USDT, Group 2 covers a long list of mid-tier pairs, Group 3 is everything else, and DAI-USDT, PYUSD-USDT, USDC-USDT and USDG-USDT trade at zero.
At the Regular tier every group charges 0.200% maker and 0.350% taker, and VIP 1 begins at 100,001 USD of assets or 30-day volume.
The groups only diverge from VIP 7, where Group 1 pays a 0.0020% maker rebate and a 0.0250% taker while Group 3 pays a 0.0100% rebate and a 0.0400% taker.
OKX says the groups and rates may be reviewed every three months, and its US licence disclosure names OKX INC. as the entity serving US customers, registered as a money services business with FinCEN and licensed as a money transmitter in the states listed on that page under NMLS 1767779.
How the OKX VIP Ladder Works
There are two routes to every VIP tier: total account assets, or 30-day trading volume in the relevant market, and meeting either one is enough.
The highest tier you qualify for in any product applies to all products, so in OKX's own example a trader with VIP 2 spot volume, VIP 3 futures volume, VIP 1 options volume and VIP 4 assets is charged VIP 4 rates everywhere.
Assets are snapshotted daily at 16:00 UTC across trading, funding and financial accounts, with borrowed assets excluded, and a tier change takes effect between 20:00 and 22:00 UTC.
Sub-accounts share the main account's tier, with the combined volume and assets of all accounts deciding it.
Spot tier | Assets (USD) | 30-day spot volume (USD) | Maker | Taker | 24h crypto withdrawal limit (USD) |
Regular | Below 100,000 | Below 1,000,000 | 0.0800% | 0.1000% | 10,000,000 |
VIP 1 | From 100,000 | From 1,000,000 | 0.0675% | 0.0800% | 20,000,000 |
VIP 2 | From 200,000 | From 5,000,000 | 0.0600% | 0.0700% | 24,000,000 |
VIP 3 | From 2,000,000 | From 10,000,000 | 0.0550% | 0.0650% | 32,000,000 |
VIP 4 | From 5,000,000 | From 20,000,000 | 0.0300% | 0.0450% | 40,000,000 |
VIP 5 | From 20,000,000 | From 100,000,000 | 0.0250% | 0.0350% | 48,000,000 |
VIP 6 | From 50,000,000 | From 200,000,000 | 0.0000% | 0.0300% | 60,000,000 |
VIP 7 | From 100,000,000 | From 500,000,000 | Rebate of 0.0020% | 0.0250% | 72,000,000 |
VIP 8 | From 250,000,000 | From 1,000,000,000 | Rebate of 0.0050% | 0.0200% | 80,000,000 |
VIP 9 | From 500,000,000 | From 5,000,000,000 | Rebate of 0.0050% | 0.0150% | 80,000,000 |
Data verified as of 9 September 2026 against the Spot tab of OKX's global fee schedule.
Futures tier | Assets (USD) | 30-day futures volume (USD) | Maker | Taker | 24h crypto withdrawal limit (USD) |
Regular | Below 100,000 | Below 5,000,000 | 0.0200% | 0.0500% | 10,000,000 |
VIP 1 | From 100,000 | From 5,000,000 | 0.0160% | 0.0450% | 20,000,000 |

VIP 7 | From 100,000,000 | From 1,500,000,000 | Rebate of 0.0020% | 0.0200% | 72,000,000 |
VIP 8 | From 250,000,000 | From 2,000,000,000 | Rebate of 0.0050% | 0.0200% | 80,000,000 |
VIP 9 | From 500,000,000 | From 20,000,000,000 | Rebate of 0.0050% | 0.0150% | 80,000,000 |
Data verified as of 9 September 2026 against the Futures tab of OKX's global fee schedule.
From VIP 7 the maker rate turns negative, which means OKX pays a rebate on resting orders: OKX's example is a 0.002% rebate that returns 2 USDT on a 100,000 USDT limit buy of 1 BTC.
The 24-hour crypto withdrawal limit in the last column is a fee-tier figure, not a KYC figure, and OKX's identity verification guide says so in as many words.
What Does Not Lower Your OKX Fee
Four things that reduce fees on other exchanges do nothing on OKX, according to its own pages.
Holding OKB does not offset trading fees, and OKX's FAQ states plainly that OKB is charged under the same standard rules as any other currency.
A referral code does not change the maker or taker rate on your orders.
Volume on zero-fee pairs and on P2P does not count toward the 30-day figure that sets your tier.
Volume earned inside a promotional campaign follows that campaign's own terms rather than the standard ladder.
The Two Layers Most Fee Guides Skip
The maker and taker table is the first layer of what an OKX trade costs, and it is the only layer most guides add up.
Layer Two: The Spread on Convert and Express Buy and Sell
Convert and the express Buy and Sell flow quote a single all-in price instead of a separate fee.
OKX's FAQ explains that the price quoted to buy an asset and the price quoted to sell the same asset at the same moment are not the same, and that this difference is the spread rather than a hidden fee.
It is a cost all the same.
The cleanest way to measure it is to open the Convert quote and the order book for the same pair side by side and compare the Convert price with the mid-point of the best bid and best ask.
On the order book the fee is a visible line item, so the spread you pay there is the market's, not the product's.
Layer Three: Network Fees on Withdrawal
Every on-chain withdrawal from OKX carries a network fee that depends on the coin and the chain, and OKX's withdrawal fee page was stamped 09/09/2026 11:01:30 when we captured it.
OKX's deposit and withdrawal fee page states that deposits carry no network fee, that the withdrawal fee is charged once per transaction regardless of amount, and that it includes a small portion for platform maintenance plus a buffer for congestion, so it can differ from the live on-chain gas cost.
The same coin can cost hundreds of times more on one network than another.
USDT network | Minimum withdrawal (USDT) | Network fee (USDT) |
Tron (TRC20) | 9.3 | 1.5 |
Ethereum (ERC20) | 1.4 | 0.4 |
Solana | 1.3 | 0.29 |
The Open Network (TON) | 1.1 | 0.026 |
Unichain (USDT0) | 1.1 | 0.016 |
Optimism | 1.1 | 0.014 |
Polygon (USDT0) | 1.1 | 0.01 |
Arbitrum One (USDT0) | 1.1 | 0.0035 |
X Layer (USDT0) | 0.013 | 0.0022 |
Avalanche C-Chain | 1.1 | 0.0018 |
Data verified as of 9 September 2026 against the Crypto withdrawal tab of OKX's fee schedule (page timestamp 09/09/2026 11:01:30). Network fees move with congestion; the withdrawal page shows the live figure before you confirm.
The Tron route, which many traders pick out of habit, was the most expensive USDT network on the list at 1.5 USDT, about 680 times the 0.0022 USDT charged on X Layer.
The pattern holds for other coins: BTC cost 0.000015 BTC on the Bitcoin network but 0.0000037 BTC on Solana, ETH cost 0.000077 ETH on Ethereum but 0.0000031 ETH on Arbitrum One, and USDC cost 0.74 USDC on Ethereum but 0.023 USDC on Polygon.
Withdrawals to other OKX users are internal transfers, credited in real time with no fee and no blockchain confirmation.
A cheap network only saves money if the destination supports that exact asset on that exact chain, so check the deposit side first.

What 1,000 USD Actually Costs on OKX, and on MEXC
Before the comparison, one line on eligibility: MEXC does not serve residents of the United States, the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, so the EEA and US rows below show OKX's regional pricing only and are not an invitation to switch.
MEXC's standard schedule is 0.0000% maker and 0.0500% taker on spot, and 0.010% maker and 0.040% taker on standard futures contracts, with BTCUSDT perpetuals on a special rate of 0.000% maker and 0.020% taker, per MEXC's official fee page.
The MX deduction takes the MEXC spot taker rate to 0.0400%.
Order, 1,000 USD fill | OKX fee | MEXC standard fee | Gap on this order |
Spot taker, global Regular | 1.00 USD | 0.50 USD (0.40 USD with MX deduction) | 0.50 USD |
Spot maker, global Regular | 0.80 USD | 0.00 USD | 0.80 USD |
BTCUSDT perpetual taker, open and close | 1.00 USD | 0.20 USD (0.80 USD on standard contracts) | 0.80 USD |
BTCUSDT perpetual maker, open and close | 0.40 USD | 0.00 USD (0.20 USD on standard contracts) | 0.40 USD |
Spot taker, EEA account without a derivatives account | 3.50 USD | MEXC not available in the EEA | Not comparable |
Spot taker, US Regular tier | 3.50 USD | MEXC not available in the US | Not comparable |
Data verified as of 9 September 2026 against OKX's fee schedule, OKX's EEA spot fee page (updated 3 September 2026), OKX's U.S. Fee Framework 2026 announcement, and MEXC's official fee page. Spreads and network fees are additional on both platforms.
A single order is small change, so here is the same arithmetic over a year.
A trader who takes 10,000 USD of spot liquidity a month pays OKX 120 USD a year at the global Regular tier, against 60 USD on MEXC, or 48 USD with the MX deduction.
A trader who opens and closes 100,000 USD of perpetual positions a month as a taker pays OKX 1,200 USD a year, against 240 USD on MEXC's BTCUSDT special rate or 960 USD on standard contracts.
The same trader running the EEA schedule without a derivatives account, or the US schedule, pays 420 USD a year on the spot leg alone.
One caveat belongs next to that chart.
MEXC prices futures orders placed through its API on a separate schedule of 0.060% maker and 0.080% taker since 1 June 2026, which is above OKX's 0.020% and 0.050%, so a bot that fills 100,000 USD a month as a taker pays about 1,920 USD a year on MEXC and 1,200 USD on OKX.
OKX's fee FAQ lists no separate schedule for API orders.
If you place orders by hand and can use MEXC, the maker line is the one to look at.
OKX Fees vs Bybit, Bitget and MEXC on the Same Order
OKX's 0.08% spot maker is the lowest base-tier maker rate among the three competitor venues in this table, and its 0.05% perpetual taker is the lowest of the three as well.
Exchange, base tier | Spot maker | Spot taker | Perpetual maker | Perpetual taker |
OKX, global Regular | 0.08% | 0.10% | 0.02% | 0.0500% |
Bybit, VIP 0 | 0.10% | 0.10% | 0.02% | 0.0550% |
Bitget, standard | 0.10% | 0.10% | 0.02% | 0.0600% |
MEXC, standard | 0.00% | 0.0500% (0.0400% with MX deduction) | 0.010% (0.000% on BTCUSDT) | 0.040% (0.010% on BTCUSDT) |
Data verified as of 9 September 2026 against OKX's fee schedule, Bybit's help center page "Bybit Trading Fee Structure", Bitget's help center page "Bitget Trading Fees FAQ" (updated 20 August 2026), and MEXC's official fee page. Base tiers only; VIP tiers, token discounts and regional schedules change these rates.
Base rates are only the start of the comparison, since Bybit and Bitget both discount fees paid in their own tokens while OKX does not, and every venue's ladder rewards volume differently.
The full twelve-venue picture, including which exchanges hide their schedule behind a login, is in our 12-exchange fee comparison.

Three OKX Fee Numbers Still Circulating That the Schedule No Longer Supports
Older guides and some review pages still repeat three claims that OKX's current pages contradict.
The first is an OKB fee discount: OKX's FAQ, updated 9 September 2026, says the platform currently offers no feature that lets you offset trading fees by holding OKB.
The second is a Regular rate of 0.14% maker and 0.23% taker that some review pages still show for US accounts, while the schedule OKX published for 1 February 2026 starts at 0.200% and 0.350%.
The third is a "daily trading limit" of 80,000,000 USD, a figure that is the 24-hour crypto withdrawal limit at VIP 8 and VIP 9, while OKX's FAQ states that order-book trading is not priced or capped by a daily allowance and that order limits come from per-instrument risk rules instead.
Any guide still quoting withdrawal limits in BTC, such as 10 BTC or 500 BTC a day, is describing a system OKX no longer publishes, since the current limit is set in USD by fee tier.
The MEXC View
We publish MEXC Learn, so we have an interest in where you trade, and every OKX number above was checked against OKX's own pages before we wrote a word of comparison.
OKX is a well-priced exchange for the trader its schedule is built for.
Its 0.08% spot maker undercuts most base tiers, its ladder can be climbed on assets alone without trading a single extra order, and from VIP 7 it pays makers to trade, which MEXC does not do at any tier.
OKX also sells products MEXC does not offer at all: options, spreads, RFQ block trades and portfolio margin, and it serves the United States and the EEA through local entities where MEXC is not available.
For API and bot traders, OKX's 0.020% and 0.050% futures rates beat MEXC's separate API schedule of 0.060% and 0.080%, and we would rather say that plainly than bury it.
Where MEXC wins is the fills most retail traders actually make: spot limit orders at 0.0000% maker, spot market orders at 0.0500% or 0.0400% with MX, and BTCUSDT perpetuals at 0.000% maker and 0.010% taker.
On the 1,000 USD test that is a 0.50 USD to 0.80 USD gap per spot order and a 0.60 USD gap per perpetual round trip, before any VIP tier on either side.
If OKX's product depth is what you need, our list of OKX alternatives compared on verified numbers shows where each venue gives ground.
Our methodology for every number in this article, including retrieval dates and what we do when a page is behind a login, is explained in how we verify exchange data.
Who Should Pay OKX's Fees, and Who Shouldn't
OKX's schedule makes sense if you trade options or spreads, run API strategies that fill as a taker, hold enough assets to reach a VIP tier without volume, or need the EEA or US entity because you live there.
It makes less sense if your orders are mostly manual spot limit orders, since 0.08% maker against 0.0000% is the widest gap in the whole comparison, or if you take liquidity on BTCUSDT perpetuals, where 0.050% against 0.010% is 5 times the cost.
Traders in the EEA who keep an OKX account should check whether a derivatives account is open before comparing anything, because that setting alone moves the spot taker rate between 0.35% and 0.10%.
Traders in the United States are on OKX US's fee-group framework and cannot use MEXC, so their comparison is between OKX US and other US venues, not this article's MEXC rows.
Everyone else can put their own last month of fills through the two schedules and see which one costs less.
Frequently Asked Questions About OKX Fees
What are OKX's trading fees for spot and futures?
On the global schedule, Regular-tier accounts pay 0.08% maker and 0.10% taker on spot and 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker on perpetual and expiry futures.
EEA accounts without a derivatives account and US accounts start at 0.20% maker and 0.35% taker on spot.
Does OKX charge a fee on Convert or express Buy and Sell?
No separate fee is charged; both products quote a single all-in price with the spread built into it.
OKX's FAQ describes that spread as a cost of the route rather than a hidden fee.
Are OKX fees different in Europe and the United States?
Yes: the EEA schedule has two tables set by whether a derivatives (X-Perps) account is open, and the US schedule prices pairs in fee groups from 1 February 2026.
Both regional schedules start at 0.20% maker and 0.35% taker for accounts without a derivatives account.
Does holding OKB reduce OKX trading fees?
No, according to OKX's Trading Fee Rules FAQ updated 9 September 2026.
OKB is charged under the same standard fee rules as any other currency.
How much is the OKX withdrawal fee for USDT and BTC?
On 9 September 2026, USDT cost 1.5 USDT on Tron, 0.4 USDT on Ethereum, 0.29 USDT on Solana and 0.0022 USDT on X Layer, while BTC cost 0.000015 BTC on the Bitcoin network.
The live figure is shown on the withdrawal page before you confirm.
Does OKX charge a deposit fee?
No, OKX's help center states there are no network fees for crypto deposits, since the withdrawing party pays the fee.
Deposits below the minimum shown on the deposit page may not be credited automatically and can require support and extra fees.
How do I lower my OKX fees?
Use limit orders that rest on the book to pay the maker rate, and reach a VIP tier through either assets or 30-day volume.
Holding OKB, using a referral code, or trading zero-fee pairs and P2P does not move your tier.
Does OKX charge liquidation or funding fees?
A forced liquidation is charged at the taker rate of your tier, and an expiry settlement fee of 0.01% applies to dated futures.
Funding is paid between long and short traders, with no cut taken by OKX.
How do OKX fees compare with other exchanges?
At the base tier OKX's 0.08% spot maker beats Bybit and Bitget's 0.10%, while MEXC charges 0.0000% maker and 0.0500% taker on spot.
On perpetuals OKX's 0.05% taker sits below Bybit's 0.055% and Bitget's 0.06% and above MEXC's 0.040%, or 0.010% on BTCUSDT.
Risk and Compliance Disclosure
All fee rates in this article were retrieved from OKX, Bybit, Bitget and MEXC official pages on 9 September 2026 and can change without notice, so confirm the rate shown on your own account before trading.
Futures, options and margin products carry the risk of losing more than your initial margin, and fees on leveraged positions are charged on the full position value.
MEXC is not available to residents of the United States, the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, and availability elsewhere is subject to MEXC's Terms of Service.
OKX serves some jurisdictions through separate local entities with their own terms, fee schedules and product ranges.
Nothing here is investment, legal or tax advice.
If you place manual orders and can use MEXC, put last month's fills through both schedules and see the difference for yourself.
