What are the Kucoin fees<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/h1>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The fees charged at the Kucoin exchange depend on a few factors. We will understand what each one means below.<\/p>\n

Amount of KCS<\/h2>\n

Kucoin has a token called KCS. If you have 1000 units or more of this token, you get special discounts on fees.<\/p>\n

Payment of fees in KCS<\/h2>\n

When a trade is made with the KCS token, there is an extra 20% discount on fees.<\/p>\n

Spot trading volume for the past 30 days<\/h2>\n

This is the calculation of the total financial volume traded on the spot market (buying and selling cryptocurrencies) for the past 30 days. The financial volume of each trade is counted in BTC.<\/p>\n

For example: if a trade of buying ETH using USDC moved 1000 USDCs (equivalent to $1,000.00) and the price of 1 Bitcoin at that moment was $20,000.00, it means that the traded volume counted was 0.05 BTC.<\/p>\n

Futures trading volume for the past 30 days<\/h2>\n

This is similar to the volume calculated in the spot market, but only accounts for trades made in the futures market section.<\/p>\n

Maker\/Taker<\/h2>\n

A Taker order is when you request a buy or sell without setting a price, just setting a “market order,” which basically executes the first buy or sell options in the order book.<\/p>\n

A Maker order, on the other hand, is one where you set the buy or sell price, add the order to the order book and wait for it to be executed by someone interested in buying or selling at that specific amount.<\/p>\n

The names “Taker” or “Maker” exist because one type of order takes liquidity out of the market, and the other type adds liquidity to the market.<\/p>\n

The 12 fee levels<\/h2>\n

Kucoin has 12 fee levels, the higher the level, the lower the trading fee.<\/p>\n

You can increase the level based on the factors mentioned above, as listed in the table below:<\/p>\n
