Final discount depends on the official signup offer shown by OKX.
OKX maker fee is the fee charged when your order adds liquidity to the order book. It typically applies to limit orders that do not fill immediately. OKX publicly separates maker and taker rates for both Spot and Futures on its official fee page, so each market should be estimated independently.
Spot Maker Fee = Trade Value × Spot Maker Rate. Futures Maker Fee = Position Value × Futures Maker Rate. Savings vs taker = Taker Fee − Maker Fee. For high-frequency traders, multiply by monthly trade count to see the real impact on P&L.
OKX lists Spot and Futures tiers on separate tables. Spot maker for Regular is around 0.080%, while USDT/USDC perpetual maker for Regular is around 0.020%. Futures maker is usually cheaper per notional, which is why limit-order strategies on OKX Futures feel so competitive.
A single trade difference looks small — a few basis points. But across hundreds of trades per month, the gap becomes significant. Grid strategies and market making rely heavily on maker execution, which is why serious OKX users prefer limit-style entries.
OKX states that user tier depends on assets under management and 30-day trading volume, updated daily. Higher tiers get significantly lower maker rates — at the top VIP tiers the maker rate can even turn negative (rebate).
| User Tier | Maker (%) | Taker (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 0.080% | 0.100% |
| VIP 1 | 0.045% | 0.060% |
| VIP 2 | 0.040% | 0.050% |
| VIP 3 | 0.030% | 0.040% |
| VIP 4 | 0.020% | 0.030% |
| VIP 5 | 0.010% | 0.020% |
| VIP 6 | 0.005% | 0.015% |
| VIP 7 | -0.005% | 0.010% |
| VIP 8 | -0.010% | 0.008% |
OKX maker fee is the fee charged when your order adds liquidity to the order book. OKX publicly separates maker and taker rates on its official fee page.
Not always. A limit order is charged as maker only if it rests on the order book and adds liquidity instead of matching instantly.
Generally yes. OKX official fee materials separate maker and taker rates, and futures fee examples illustrate lower maker costs than taker costs.
OKX states that fee tiers depend on assets under management and 30-day trading volume, with daily updates.
You can enter a referral code during OKX signup if the registration flow supports it. OKX official referral materials confirm that users can create and share referral codes, but the final offer shown during signup may vary by region and campaign.
We could not verify an official OKX page that specifically confirms code 26021839 guarantees a fixed 20% fee discount for all users on the exchange. The safer claim is that users should enter the code during signup and confirm the exact benefit shown on the official OKX registration page.
