Understanding OKX Fee Tiers
OKX categorizes users into two primary groups: Regular Users and Professional Users. Professional users are further classified into 8 VIP tiers based on:
- 30-day trading volume (spot, contracts, options)
- Asset holdings (30-day average or daily snapshot, whichever is higher)

Fee Calculation Methods
Spot & Margin Trading
Formula: Fee = Rate × Trade Volume (in traded currency)
Example:
Buying 1 BTC at $20,000 as taker (0.1% fee): 0.1% × 1 BTC = 0.001 BTC fee
Contract Trading
USDT Contracts: Fee = Rate × (Contracts × Multiplier × Face Value × Price)
Coin-Margined Contracts: Fee = Rate × (Contracts × Multiplier × Face Value / Price)
Spread Trading
All legs receive 50% discount on standard fees
