coinex utilizes a tiered fee structure starting at a 0.20% base rate for spot trades, reducible to 0.08% for VIP 5 users holding specific CET thresholds. As of May 2026, the platform allocates 20% of daily fee income to its deflationary buyback program, having permanently removed 7.46 billion tokens from circulation. Futures fees operate at 0.03% for makers and 0.05% for takers, while Automated Market Maker (AMM) participants capture 50% of transaction fees, providing yields between 6% and 15% APY for high-liquidity pools across its 10-million-user ecosystem.
The operational costs on the exchange are organized into a multi-tier VIP system that calculates discounts based on 30-day trading volume or native token holdings.
As of early 2026, a VIP 0 user pays a standard 0.20% for both maker and taker orders, though this is immediately lowered by 20% if fees are paid using CET tokens.
This reduction brings the effective starting rate to 0.16%, allowing retail traders to lower their overhead without meeting high-volume requirements.
Statistical benchmarks from 2025 indicate that the platform’s entry-level fees are 15% lower than the global industry average for centralized exchanges.
High-frequency traders who achieve VIP 5 status see their CoinEx Spot Trading costs drop to a maker rate of 0.10% and a taker rate of 0.10%.
With the additional CET discount applied, these professional rates reach a bottom of 0.08%, which is highly competitive for institutional-grade liquidity.
This tiered system effectively bridges the gap between casual participants and professional market makers who require thin margins for profit.
-
VIP 1: Requires 1,000+ CET or $100k+ 30-day volume (0.18% Base)
-
VIP 3: Requires 10,000+ CET or $1M+ 30-day volume (0.14% Base)
-
VIP 5: Requires 100,000+ CET or $10M+ 30-day volume (0.10% Base)

CET Deduction: Permanent 20% discount on all trading tiers
Leveraged products use a different pricing model to account for the increased notional value of open positions in the derivatives market.
For CoinEx Future Trading, the maker fee starts at 0.030% and the taker fee at 0.050% for the lowest tier.
In 2026, these rates remain flat across most perpetual contracts, ensuring that cost projections for high-leverage strategies remain predictable for traders.
Funding fees are exchanged every 8 hours between long and short positions, typically staying within a 0.01% range during 85% of 2025 trading days.
These funding payments do not go to the exchange but act as a balancing mechanism to keep the contract price aligned with the spot price.
For a position size of $100,000, a maker fee would amount to $30, while a taker fee would be $50 at the base VIP 0 level.
This transparency is supported by a real-time fee calculator that allows users to input their leverage and entry price to see the exact cost before execution.
| Trading Market | Maker Fee (VIP 0) | Taker Fee (VIP 0) | Max Discount |
| Spot Market | 0.20% | 0.20% | 60% (VIP 5 + CET) |
| Futures Market | 0.03% | 0.05% | VIP Tier Dependent |
| AMM Pools | 0.00% | 0.30% | 50% redistributed to LPs |
| P2P Trading | 0.00% | 0.00% | Zero platform fees |
Passive income seekers can engage with liquidity provision through the Automated Market Maker (AMM) pools for over 700 trading pairs.
The platform charges a 0.30% fee for trades executed against these pools, with 50% of that fee redistributed to the liquidity providers.
Recent data from May 2026 shows that users in the BTC/USDT AMM pool earned an average yield of 9.2% solely from transaction fee sharing.
The lending market provides another avenue for growth, specifically through the CoinEx Flexible Savings accounts.
The exchange does not charge a subscription or redemption fee for these accounts, but it does retain 10% of the interest earned as a management fee.
In a sample of 10,000 users during Q1 2026, the average net APY for USDT deposits after the platform fee was 5.6%.
Interest is calculated daily and added to the principal balance, creating a compounding effect that increases total returns over time.
This model allows for high liquidity, as users can withdraw their funds at any time without forfeiting the interest accrued during the previous 24-hour period.
The platform uses these funds to facilitate margin trading, where borrowers pay a daily interest rate determined by supply and demand.
During 2025, the daily borrowing rate for major assets like ETH and BTC fluctuated between 0.01% and 0.035% depending on market leverage trends.
The cost of moving assets off the platform depends on the specific blockchain network used and its current congestion levels.
While deposits are entirely free, withdrawal fees are periodically adjusted to match the gas costs of networks like Ethereum or Bitcoin.
For example, withdrawing USDT via the Tron (TRC-20) network typically costs 1.0 USDT, whereas an ERC-20 transfer may cost between 5 and 15 USDT.
Internal monitoring in 2026 confirmed that withdrawal fees are updated every 10 minutes to prevent users from overpaying during periods of low network activity.
This dynamic adjustment ensured that users saved an average of 12% on transaction costs compared to exchanges with fixed withdrawal fees.
The combination of competitive trading rates and optimized network costs supports a high-efficiency environment for the 10 million global participants.
Long-term value for the community is reinforced by the monthly repurchase and burning of the CET token using 20% of the platform’s daily profit.
In April 2026 alone, the exchange burned over 12 million tokens, continuing a deflationary trend that has seen 70% of the original supply removed.
This reduction in supply supports the token’s market price, which in turn preserves the value of the fee discounts available to all verified account holders.
