Crypto Exchange Fee Change Log
Fee pages change and articles do not. This page is the opposite habit: every row below is something an exchange published about its own pricing, with the page it came from and the date we read it. Last updated 2026-09-28.
Why this exists
In September 2026 this site was still repeating a MEXC campaign line from 2025 about zero fees on every spot pair. MEXC’s own current guidance says something different, and had for a while. We were wrong in public, and the reason was structural rather than careless: a comparison article is a snapshot, and nothing about it complains when the snapshot ages.
So the numbers moved out of the prose and into a dated registry, and this page publishes it. If a row here is out of date, that is a bug you can see, which is the point. The rule for adding a row is strict: the claim has to come from the exchange’s own page, opened on the date shown, and the link has to work. No figure from a review site, an aggregator or another article ever qualifies.
The log
Current published schedule for a standard user: spot 0% maker and 0.05% taker, futures 0% maker and 0.02% taker, with periodic zero-fee promotions on selected pairs and a further discount for MX holders. This supersedes the 2025 campaign wording about zero fees on all spot pairs, which is still quoted across the web.

The MiCA transitional period ends across the EU. After this date, serving EU clients without CASP authorisation breaches EU law. Whether any given exchange holds that authorisation has to be checked in the ESMA register, not taken from a marketing page.

What the dates mean
The first date is when the change took effect or when the exchange announced it. The «checked» date is when we opened that page ourselves and saw the figure. They are often different, and the gap is the honest part: it tells you how stale the row might be. Anything older than a month gets re-read, and if a source stops publishing a number, the row goes rather than sitting there with a value nobody can verify.
Current rates for all four exchanges sit side by side in the fee calculator, which prices your own volume on each one. The full BingX fee breakdown covers how the tiers and the referral discount stack on the BingX side.
