Gate is launching its USDT-M Perpetual Futures Taker fee discount program. A participant's discount tier will be determined by its share of platform-wide USDT-M Perpetual Futures Taker volume during the calculation period ("X"):
X = Participant's USDT-M Perpetual Futures Taker Volume during the Calculation Period ÷ Platform-wide USDT-M Perpetual Futures Taker Volume during the Same Calculation Period × 100%
Fee Tier | Monthly USDT-M Perpetual Futures Taker Volume Share ("X") | USDT-M Perpetual Futures Taker Fee Discount |
1 | 0.02% ≤ X < 0.2% | 9% |
2 | 0.2% ≤ X < 1% | 16% |
3 | X ≥ 1% | 20% |
This program will commence on September 1, 2026. The end date will be announced separately.
If a participant does not meet the Tier 1 threshold in an assessment, the participant will not be eligible for a Program discount in the following month, and its taker fees will revert to the applicable standard fee rate.
Please note that Managed Subaccounts (MSAs) are not eligible for fee discounts under this Taker Program.
To participate in the Taker Program, please contact your Account Manager to register.
