VIP Fees

_____2020-06-01___9.57.14.png

VIPs at FTX receive a number of benefits, including:

1) Lower fees

2) Account manager

3) Higher API limits 

4) A direct line with a senior developer for API questions

5) The ability to provide input to the products that FTX launches

6) FTX customized VIP swag and acccess to VIP meet-ups

7) Admin whitelisting of withdrawal addresses 

*VIPs do not generate referral fees from their account, though they can still refer other traders and receive fees for that.

 

Market Makers

We will be removing the old market maker program on July 1st, and replacing it with the following:

The negative numbers here mean that you receive a maker rebate for providing.

*Market Makers do not generate referral fees from their account, though they can still refer other traders and receive fees for that.

*Note that this will not alter your taker fees; those are whatever they otherwise would be according to the standard fee schedule or VIP program.  These maker fees shared in the table above will override whatever your maker fees would otherwise be.

 

Market Maker Payments

In addition to the above, we will be paying out the following monthly:

  1. $750k proportional to overall maker volume
  2. $250k proportional to options maker volume
    1.     This will be split 50-50 between all options and MOVE volume traded throughout the calendar month. 
  3. $1k per market for the largest maker in that market by volume for markets that trade over $30k over the month

 

Timeline

These fees will go into effect on June 5th.  We will be turning the old Market Maker program off on July 1st. 

 

FTT

Note that VIPs still receive fee reductions for holding FTT!  You can find the FTT schedule here.  Note the following:

1) Your taker fee cannot go below 0.015% all things considered

2) If you have a maker rebate (i.e. you are a Market Maker), FTT will not affect that rebate, but will still decrease your taker fees.

 

Notes

  1. % of exchange volume means % of exchange taker volume--so if you were the taker on every trade and never provided that would be 100%, not 50%.
  2. FTX reserves the right to interpret, modify, change, or remove these programs at its sole discretion and will review them periodically.
  3. While the criteria for the programs are public FTX has no requirement to allow specific entities into the programs.
