Volume Tier Discounts

Many exchanges use a tiered model where your recent trading volume determines your maker and taker rates. Higher volume often leads to lower taker fees.

This approach rewards frequent trading and can materially change cost structure for market makers, arbitrage desks, and systematic strategies.

A small rate change can produce a large dollar effect.

Even a drop from 0.10 percent to 0.08 percent matters when a desk turns over significant capital every month. Over time, fee improvements compound and can become part of a strategy edge.

Before chasing the next tier, compare the extra trading required to reach it with the savings you expect to realize afterward. Volume for the sake of discounts alone can backfire.
