How to reduce trading fees on Bybit using VIP tiers?

VIP Tier Eligibility Criteria

1. A user qualifies for VIP status by meeting at least one of the following thresholds within a rolling 30-day window: maintaining a minimum USD-denominated asset balance, achieving a specified trading volume in spot or derivatives markets, or utilizing a defined borrowing capacity.

2. The lowest tier, VIP 1, requires either $100,000 in average wallet equity, $50,000 in 30-day borrowings, or $1 million in spot and $10 million in derivatives trading volume.

3. Higher tiers demand proportionally greater commitments — VIP 4 mandates $1 million in assets or $25 million in spot plus $100 million in derivatives volume.

4. Asset valuation includes funds across unified accounts, spot wallets, and margin balances, all converted to USD at current market rates.

5. Holding Mantle (MNT) tokens applies a multiplier of up to 1.5× when calculating asset-based tier eligibility, effectively lowering the required fiat-equivalent threshold.

Daily Snapshot Mechanism

1. Bybit captures a real-time snapshot of each user’s balance and trading activity every day at 07:00 UTC.

2. This snapshot determines the applicable VIP level for the upcoming 24-hour period based on the highest qualifying metric recorded.

3. If new thresholds are met during the snapshot, the upgrade takes effect within five minutes without manual intervention.

4. All sub-accounts linked to a primary account contribute to aggregated volume and asset totals used in the calculation.

5. Users retain their current VIP benefits for 14 days after falling below the required benchmark, granting time to restore eligibility.

Fee Reduction Structure

1. Spot trading fees decrease progressively with each VIP tier — from 0.1000% for non-VIP users to 0.0450% for Maker orders and 0.0300% for Taker orders at the Supreme VIP level.

2. Derivatives fees follow a parallel reduction curve, where VIP 4 users pay only 0.0100% as Maker and 0.0300% as Taker on USDT-margined perpetual contracts.

3. Platform token BIT can be used to offset up to 25% of spot fees and 10% of derivatives fees, compounding savings for high-tier users who hold and utilize it.

4. The fee differential between Maker and Taker widens with increasing VIP rank, reinforcing liquidity provision incentives.

5. Users who register via verified referral links receive an additional permanent 20% fee discount layered atop their VIP-based reductions.

Bybit Card Integration Benefits

1. VIP status directly governs cashback rates on Bybit Card transactions — ranging from 0.5% for VIP 0 to 10% for Supreme VIP holders.

2. Subscription services such as Netflix, Spotify, and ChatGPT qualify for full 100% reimbursement once VIP 1 status is attained or monthly card spending exceeds $500.

3. Auto Savings functionality accrues yield on idle stablecoins held in the card-linked wallet, with APYs scaled according to the user’s VIP classification.

4. Cross-border foreign exchange fees remain fixed at 2%, but the underlying conversion spread improves incrementally for higher VIP tiers due to enhanced institutional pricing access.

5. Physical card issuance and ATM withdrawal privileges activate automatically upon reaching VIP 2, with no separate application required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does completing KYC Level 1 affect my VIP eligibility?A: No. KYC Level 1 increases withdrawal limits but does not influence VIP tier assignment, which depends solely on asset balance or trading volume metrics.

Q: Can I combine multiple accounts to meet VIP thresholds?A: Yes. All balances and trades across your main account and any associated sub-accounts are consolidated daily for VIP qualification purposes.

Q: Is there a minimum holding period for assets to count toward VIP status?A: No. Assets are measured at the exact moment of the daily 07:00 UTC snapshot; no sustained duration requirement applies.

Q: Do P2P transactions contribute to my 30-day trading volume?A: No. Only executed trades on Bybit’s order book — including spot, futures, and perpetual contracts — are included in volume calculations.
