Simple, flat fees
BitCore uses the same maker/taker model as leading exchanges, with one flat rate for every account — no volume tiers.
USDⓈ-M Futures fees
Perpetual contracts margined and settled in USDT. Maker orders add liquidity; taker orders remove it.
| Order type | Fee |
|---|---|
| Maker (limit order) | 0.0200% |
| Taker (market order) | 0.0500% |
Liquidations are charged the taker fee (0.0500%).
Spot trading fees
Buying and selling crypto on the spot market. All trades use the same maker/taker structure.
| Order type | Fee |
|---|---|
| Maker (limit order) | 0.1000% |
| Taker (market order) | 0.1000% |
Spot buys and sells are charged 0.1000%, taken from the amount you receive.
Funding rate
Perpetual futures use a funding mechanism to keep contract prices anchored to the spot index.
Funding is exchanged between long and short position holders every 8 hours (00:00, 08:00, 16:00 UTC). Only positions held at the funding moment pay or receive funding.
- Positive funding rate: longs pay shorts
- Negative funding rate: shorts pay longs
- Range: typically ±0.01% to ±0.05% per 8h period
- Capped at: ±0.75% (extreme market conditions)
BitCore tracks live funding rates from global aggregators. The estimated next funding payment is shown on every position row in your trading panel.
