VIP Fee Tiers Explained: Bitget, Gate.io, Bybit, OKX
Every exchange compared here cuts your trading fee as your 30-day volume or asset balance rises. The base (non-VIP) tier is what a new account pays; higher tiers require meeting a volume or balance threshold, checked automatically each day.

MEXC's Simpler Model
MEXC doesn't publish a stepped VIP ladder the way the other four do. Its base tier already charges 0% maker, and taker fees scale down from 0.05% toward 0% at higher volume — see MEXC's fee page for the current base rate.
Is Chasing VIP Tiers Worth It?
Only if your monthly volume is genuinely in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Below that, the jump from base to VIP1 saves fractions of a percent — often less than the spread you'd pay crossing the bid-ask on a thin order book. Compare base-tier fees before optimizing for tiers you won't reach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do VIP tiers apply automatically?

Which exchange has the easiest VIP1 to reach?
Based on published thresholds read 9 September 2026, Gate.io's VIP1 requires the least — roughly 60,000 USDT 30-day volume or 100 GT held, well below Bitget's 500,000 USDT VIP1 threshold.
