MEXC Fees Explained: Complete Trading, Futures & Withdrawal Fees Guide

1. Futures Trading Fees

1.1 Trading Fees

• Maker: A limit order that does not immediately match with current Maker orders, but is placed in the order book as a pending order waiting to be filled. This adds liquidity to the market.
• Taker: A limit order or market order that directly matches with current Maker orders, removing liquidity from the market.

• If executed as a Maker order: Fee = 100,000 × 0.01% = 10 USDT
• If executed as a Taker order: Fee = 100,000 × 0.04% = 40 USDT

1.2 Funding Rate

• If the funding rate is positive, long positions pay funding fees while short positions receive funding fees. Conversely, if the funding rate is negative, long positions receive funding fees and short positions pay funding fees.
• Only users holding positions at the funding timestamp are required to pay or receive funding fees. If the position is closed before the funding occurs, there is no need to pay or receive funding fees.
• Because funding fee settlement requires processing time, any orders executed within ±15 seconds of the funding timestamp may not be included in the funding fee settlement. Funding fees are exchanged directly between users, and MEXC Futures does not charge any funding fees.

2. Spot Trading Fees

• Maker: A limit order that does not immediately match with existing Maker orders, but is placed in the order book as a pending order waiting to be filled. This adds liquidity to the market.
• Taker: A limit order or market order that directly matches with existing Maker orders, removing liquidity from the market.

• If executed as a Maker order: Fee = 100,000 × 0% = 0 USDT
• If executed as a Taker order: Fee = 100,000 × 0.05% = 50 USDT

3. Four Major Benefits of Understanding Fees

• Reduce Costs: Selecting between maker and taker orders strategically, or using MX to offset fees, can meaningfully lower transaction expenses.
• Improve Strategy: Funding rates directly influence the cost of holding positions, helping traders determine whether to maintain positions over time.
• Strengthen Risk Awareness: A clear understanding of fee mechanisms helps traders avoid unnecessary losses from overlooked funding fees.
• Increase Profitability: With the same trading strategy, those who make effective use of fee structures can achieve higher net returns.
