Overview
- Zero fees now apply to spot, margin, perpetual derivatives, trading on Bitfinex Securities, and OTC, covering both maker and taker orders for eligible users.
- The change is active by default with no volume thresholds, token holdings, or account tiers required to qualify.
- Coverage includes more than 250 spot pairs and 60 perpetual contracts, and the company characterizes the shift as a permanent structural policy rather than a promotion.
- Company leadership presents the move as sustainable and intended to drive higher volumes and deeper liquidity, a step observers say could pressure competitors to reconsider fee models.
- Bitfinex cites alternative revenue streams such as withdrawal fees, capital-markets activities, lending and other services, and it says there will be no hidden fees.
