What Trading Fees Discount Does HIT Provide?
HitBTC traders are able to reduce their trading fees by up to 45% by holding a certain amount of HIT tokens on their accounts. Refer to the Trading Fee Tier to learn about HIT holdings and related discounts.
For Tier 1 and 2 traders:
For Tier 3 to 10 traders:
For example, if you are currently a Tier 1 trader with 5,000 HIT token holdings, your trading fee will be decreased by 5%, meaning that your Taker fee would be 0.0855% and your Maker fee would be 0.0855%.
The trading fee discount is calculated each day. It is based on the 30-day trade volume total and minimum HIT holding value in the previous day. Please note that trading fee discounts are available for upgraded accounts, meaning that in order to get a discount, you should verify your account. HIT holdings cannot decrease Taker fees below 0.02%.
HitBTC reserves the right to amend the terms of service, including enabling or disabling the service at our discretion.
What Is the Trading Fee Discount per Pair?
HitBTC traders are able to get the best trading rate for the HIT trading pairs regardless of their trading volumes or held HIT tokens.
This discount is implemented automatically for all HIT trading pairs and will not sum up with other HIT token benefits. The discounts terms are calculated from the official release date.
For example, if you are currently a Tier 1 trader, in the first week after the HIT token release, your Taker fee will be 0% and your Maker fee will be 0% for all HIT trading pairs. Your Taker fee will be 0.0450% and your Maker fee will be 0.0450% from week 2 to the end of the first month for all HIT trading pairs.
HitBTC reserves the right to amend the terms of service, including enabling or disabling the service at our discretion, with the advance notification to the exchange's users through official channels.
If I Don’t Have a Sufficient HIT Balance in My Account, What Will Happen?
If the HitBTC token balance in your account is insufficient, fees will be deducted according to the HitBTC Trading Fee Tier.
