VIP rate adjustment FAQ
Q1: What does the VIP fee adjustment involve, and how will it affect users?
OKX has optimized the relationship between VIP levels and trading volume/position size, with the goal of improving the fairness of the fee structure and further encouraging participation from highly active users.
The actual impact varies depending on individual circumstances. For example, this adjustment lowers the futures transaction threshold for VIP 1 from 50 million USDT to 10 million USDT, allowing more users to access VIP fee benefits more easily.
For further details, please refer to the following announcement: Updates to Global Fee Framework.
Q2: Has the platform removed any VIP levels or reduced fee discounts?
This is an optimization upgrade of the VIP system, and no existing VIP levels have been removed.
The key changes include:
Lowering the entry threshold for VIP 1, enabling more users to enjoy VIP benefits.
Expanding the VIP structure to 9; if a user’s trading volume remains unchanged, their VIP level will generally be upgraded by one level.
Standardizing and optimizing the fee ranges across all VIP levels.

Q3: What is the reason for this fee adjustment?
This adjustment aims to optimize the overall fee structure and establish a clearer and more reasonable user tiering system, better aligning fee benefits with different trading volumes and user activity levels.

Q6: Will this adjustment affect my current VIP level? Will my level be recalculated or automatically migrated?
As part of this adjustment, the entry requirements and corresponding fee benefits for each VIP level have been updated. After the adjustment takes effect, if your trading volume remains unchanged, your VIP level will be automatically upgraded by one level (for example, from VIP 5 to VIP 6), and the new fee rates will apply automatically.
Q7: Is this adjustment permanent? Will there be further adjustments in the future?
This adjustment is part of our ongoing optimization efforts. If there are any further changes in the future, they will be announced in advance through official platform announcements. Please refer to the latest announcements for the most up-to-date information.
Q8: Is the VIP level automatically matched based on the current trading volume, or do users need to apply?
Once you meet the asset or trading volume requirements for a specific VIP level, the system will automatically update your fee tier each day between 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM (UTC+8). No manual application is required. Trading volume is calculated based on your cumulative trading volume over the past 30 days within the relevant business line.
Q9: I currently hold long-term futures positions. Will this fee adjustment affect my position costs?
After the VIP fee rate adjustment takes effect, your existing positions will be automatically updated to reflect the new fee rates. The system will apply the changes dynamically, and no manual action is required. We recommend that you closely follow the official announcement for the effective date and the latest rate standards.
Q10: Do the new VIP fee rates also apply to API users?
Yes, API users are also eligible for and subject to the updated VIP fee structure.
