These are the posted rates before any account-level VIP discount or referral payback — check OKX's own fee page for the current numbers and any spot-market schedule, since loweef's verified data here covers futures only. OKX isn't available in every country — the OKX exchange page shows whether it accepts signups from your region.

What actually changes the fee you pay

• OKX's own VIP tiers — discounts tied to 30-day trading volume, unrelated to any referral partnership.
• A referral payback — through loweef's OKX partnership, the current combined total is 50% of every trading fee, credited daily in USDT from the first trade, with no volume minimum. What the OKX referral code actually does →
