BloFin Fees Explained: Maker, Taker and What You Get Back
What BloFin charges on spot and futures, where the VIP ladder actually kicks in, and which of the 3 levers you can pull from day one.
- BloFin charges a flat 0.10% on spot for both maker and taker, and 0.02% maker with 0.06% taker on perpetual futures at the standard tier.
- A futures trader moving 5M USDT a month in taker orders pays about 36,000 USDT a year; filling as maker cuts that to 12,000.
- VIP tiers lower both sides, but only start moving from roughly 5M USDT in 30-day volume or 6 figure balances.
- Trade Reclaim pays back 30% of every BloFin trading fee, from the first trade, on top of any VIP tier.
- Funding payments on perpetuals cannot be discounted by anyone. Trading fees can, and they are the bigger lever for most styles.
A single BloFin futures trade feels small: 36 USDT in taker fees on a 60,000 USDT round trip. Run 2 or 3 of those a day for a year and the bill quietly clears 5 figures. Most traders never add it up. Run your own number first, then read what you can do about it.
What BloFin actually charges
BloFin charges a flat 0.10% on spot for both maker and taker, and 0.02% maker with 0.06% taker on perpetual futures at the standard tier.
Spot is the simple part: maker or taker, the rate is the same 0.10%. Futures is where the maker-taker split matters, because the 0.06% taker rate is 3 times the 0.02% maker rate. That gap is the single biggest thing you control on BloFin before any discount. The numbers come from the official BloFin fee schedule, and we track every tier on our BloFin fees page.
Perpetual traders also pay funding every 8 hours. Funding is a payment between longs and shorts that BloFin passes through, not a fee the exchange keeps. It belongs in your cost math, but no discount program touches it.
What a year of BloFin trading costs
At 5M USDT of monthly volume, taker fees on BloFin futures run about 36,000 USDT a year.
The math is short. 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 0.06% futures taker rate and you get 36,000 USDT. The same year filled as maker costs 12,000, because the maker rate is a third of the taker rate.
Your number depends on your size, your pace, and how much you take versus post. The cashback calculator takes those and shows what your year costs, and what 30% of it looks like coming back.
The 3 levers that cut your BloFin bill
Three levers move what you pay on BloFin: cashback on every trade, order type, and VIP tiers.
Lever 1 is cashback. Trade Reclaim returns 30% of every trading fee you pay on BloFin, from your first trade, with no volume requirement. It is the only lever that works at every account size, and it stacks with the other two. The current rate and setup steps are on the BloFin cashback page.
Lever 2 is order type. Filling as maker instead of taker cuts the futures rate from 0.06% to 0.02%, two thirds off for strategies that survive resting orders. Lever 3 is the VIP ladder: from roughly 5M USDT in 30-day volume or 6 figure balances, both maker and taker rates step down. All three combine. None of them excludes another.
| Fee type | Standard | With 30% back |
|---|---|---|
| Spot maker | 0.10% | 0.07% |
| Spot taker | 0.10% | 0.07% |
| Futures maker | 0.02% | 0.014% |
| Futures taker | 0.06% | 0.042% |
Standard tier, before any VIP discount. The full VIP ladder is on the BloFin page.
How the 30% cashback works
Trade Reclaim returns 30% of what BloFin charges you, in USDT, withdrawable anytime from 20 USDT.
Run a month as an example: 3,000 USDT in fees means 900 USDT back. The money is BloFin's affiliate commission. BloFin pays a share of your fees to the partner that referred you, and Trade Reclaim returns 30% of your 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 trades. No API keys, no passwords, no access to your BloFin account, ever. The full mechanics are on the how it works page.
VIP and cashback do not compete. Climb a tier and the 30% simply applies to the smaller fee you now pay.
Do BloFin VIP tiers beat cashback?
Below serious volume, cashback moves your bill more than tier hunting. Above it, you take both.
BloFin VIP tiers ask for sustained 30-day volume or large balances before rates improve, and most accounts never reach the levels where the discount is meaningful. A trader below those thresholds gets little from the ladder, while 30% cashback applies from the first trade. Once your volume qualifies, the question disappears: the tier lowers the rate, the cashback returns 30% of what remains. There is no scenario where using one blocks the other.
Are BloFin fees competitive in 2026?
On maker and spot, yes. The futures taker rate runs high, which is exactly where 30% back does the most work.
With cashback, the standard rates land at 0.07% on spot, 0.014% futures maker, and 0.042% futures taker. The taker number is still the one to watch, so maker discipline plus cashback is the combination that pays on BloFin. How it compares across the 10 platforms we track is in the exchange fee comparison, and the mechanics behind fee cashback are in the cashback guide.

Frequently asked questions
What are BloFin trading fees for regular users?
Spot trades cost a flat 0.10% for both maker and taker. Perpetual futures cost 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker. These are the standard rates before any VIP tier or cashback.
What is the BloFin spot fee?
0.10% on both sides of every spot trade, maker or taker, at the standard tier. VIP tiers can lower it, but only from sustained volume or large balances.
How do I get lower fees on BloFin without VIP status?
Two ways work from the first trade: fill orders as maker, which cuts the futures rate from 0.06% to 0.02%, and connect your UID to Trade Reclaim, which returns 30% of every fee you pay regardless of volume.
Does BloFin have a fee discount token?
No. BloFin has no native token that lowers trading fees, so the discount paths are VIP tiers, which need volume or balance, and cashback, which applies from the first trade. That makes cashback the main lever most BloFin traders can actually pull.
Does BloFin charge withdrawal fees?
Yes, per coin and per network, priced around the network cost. For active traders they are noise next to trading fees: a year of futures taker fees at 5M monthly volume costs about 36,000 USDT, while a withdrawal costs a few USDT.
