BitMart Fees Explained: Spot, Futures and the 50% That Comes Back
BitMart's real spot and futures schedule, why the 50% cashback is the highest of any partner but futures-only, and what that means if you trade its long tail of altcoins.
- BitMart charges 0.10% maker and taker on spot, and 0.020% maker with 0.060% taker on USDT perpetuals, on the base tier.
- Trade Reclaim returns 50% of every BitMart futures fee, the highest cashback rate of any partner exchange.
- That 50% applies to futures only. BitMart spot trades earn no cashback.
- A futures trader moving 5M USDT a month in taker orders pays about 36,000 USDT a year, and gets 18,000 back at 50%.
- With 1,700+ listed tokens, a lot of BitMart volume is altcoin taker fills, exactly where a high cashback rate pays off most.
BitMart pays the highest cashback rate of any exchange we partner with, 50% of your futures fees, and it lists more tokens than almost anyone, so its order book is full of altcoin taker fills. That combination is the story here. Run your own number first, then read what BitMart charges and where the 50% does and doesn't apply.
What BitMart actually charges
BitMart charges 0.10% maker and 0.10% taker on spot, and 0.020% maker with 0.060% taker on USDT perpetual futures, on the base tier.
Spot is a flat 0.10% per side, standard for the market. Futures runs 0.020% maker and 0.060% taker, with that 0.060% taker a shade above the tightest venues. BitMart's pull is breadth: more than 1,700 listed tokens, which means a lot of trading happens in thinner altcoin books where you take liquidity rather than post it. The rates come from BitMart's own fee schedule, and we track the rate that drives your cashback on the BitMart fees page.
Perpetual traders also pay funding every 8 hours, a pass-through payment between longs and shorts that no discount touches. It belongs in your math but is not a fee BitMart keeps.
What a year of BitMart futures costs
At 5M USDT of monthly volume, taker fees on BitMart futures run about 36,000 USDT a year, and 50% cashback returns 18,000 of it.
A 20,000 to 30,000 USDT position counts twice, once on open and once on close, so one round trip moves about 60,000 USDT of notional. At 2 to 3 trades a day that is roughly 5M USDT a month, 60M a year. Multiply by the 0.060% futures taker rate and you get 36,000 USDT. At BitMart's 50% cashback that is 18,000 USDT back, the largest share any partner returns.
Your number depends on your size, your pace, and how often you take liquidity, which on a long-tail altcoin book is often. The cashback calculator takes those and shows what your year costs and what half of it looks like coming back.
The levers that cut your BitMart bill
Three levers move what you pay on BitMart futures: 50% cashback, VIP tiers, and order type. Spot is where cashback does not reach.
Cashback is the headline lever and the biggest in the market: Trade Reclaim returns 50% of every BitMart futures fee, from your first trade, with no volume requirement. The current rate and setup are on the BitMart cashback page. BitMart's futures VIP program of 6 tiers then cuts the base rate through 30-day volume, though VIP 1 starts high at 50M USDT, so most traders lean on cashback and order type instead.
The catch to know: cashback is futures-only. BitMart spot trades, and the 0.10% you pay on them, earn nothing back, and the BMX token mainly helps spot VIP qualification rather than cutting futures rates. If the 50% is why you are here, trade USDT-margined perpetuals, where every fee counts.
| Fee type | Standard | With 50% back |
|---|---|---|
| Spot maker | 0.10% | 0.10% |
| Spot taker | 0.10% | 0.10% |
| Futures maker | 0.020% | 0.010% |
| Futures taker | 0.060% | 0.030% |
Cashback applies to futures only; spot earns none. Base tier, before VIP discounts. The full breakdown is on the BitMart page.
How the 50% cashback works
Trade Reclaim returns 50% of what BitMart charges you on futures, in USDT, withdrawable anytime from 20 USDT.
Run a month as an example: 1,000 USDT in futures taker fees means 500 USDT back. The money is BitMart's affiliate commission. BitMart pays a share of your fees to the partner that referred you, and because that share is generous, Trade Reclaim can return a full 50% of your futures fees to you out of it. Nothing about your own schedule changes. Setup is one field: sign up through the affiliate link, drop your UID into Trade Reclaim, and from then on the affiliate dashboard recognizes your futures trades. No API keys, no passwords, no access to your BitMart account, ever. The full mechanics are on the how it works page.
Cashback and VIP do not compete. Climb to a lower futures rate and the 50% simply applies to the smaller fee you now pay.
Is BitMart cashback really 50%, and on everything?
The 50% is real and the highest we offer, but it is futures-only. Spot trades earn no cashback.
It is worth being precise, because the rate is unusually high. Trade Reclaim returns 50% of your BitMart futures fees, more than the 30% most exchanges return, and it comes from BitMart's affiliate commission rather than your balance, so nothing changes about how you trade. What it does not cover is spot: the 0.10% you pay buying or selling on the spot market earns nothing back. There is also no welcome bonus through Trade Reclaim on BitMart, just the cashback, which for an active futures trader is where the real money is anyway.
Are BitMart fees competitive in 2026?
For futures, yes; the 50% cashback makes BitMart's effective rates among the lowest anywhere. For spot, it is average, because cashback does not apply there.
On raw rates BitMart is middle of the pack: 0.10% spot and 0.020%/0.060% futures. The cashback is what moves it. With 50% back, futures land at 0.010% maker and 0.030% taker, genuinely among the cheapest effective rates in the market, while spot stays at 0.10% because no cashback applies. If you trade perpetuals across BitMart's long list of tokens, that is a strong deal. How it compares across the platforms we track is in the exchange fee comparison, and the mechanics behind fee cashback are in the cashback guide.

How do I lower BitMart fees?
On futures, stack three things: post maker orders, climb BitMart's futures VIP tiers through volume, and connect your UID to Trade Reclaim for 50% back on every futures fee.
Does BitMart have a welcome bonus?
Not through Trade Reclaim. BitMart runs its own on-platform promotions like trading competitions and airdrops, separate from cashback. The Trade Reclaim side is the 50% futures cashback, paid on every trade.
Is BitMart legit?
BitMart has operated since 2017 and is one of the larger global exchanges, with millions of users and 1,700+ listed tokens. Like any venue it carries platform risk, so we cover what it charges and how to lower it. Trade Reclaim never holds your coins and reads only your public UID.
Trade Reclaim Research tracks fee schedules, VIP tiers and token discounts across all 10 partner exchanges. Every number is checked against the exchange's official fee schedule before it goes live, and re-checked when an exchange changes its terms. The goal is simple: show traders their real net cost, not the headline rate.
Trade Reclaim earns from exchange referrals and shares most of it back to you as cashback. Education, not financial advice.
