3 Crypto Exchanges that have lower fees than Binance

Here are a few centralized exchanges whose base spot-trading fees beat Binance’s standard 0.10%/0.10% maker/taker rate (before any BNB-token discounts)

• MEXC

  • Maker: 0.00%

  • Taker: 0.00%

  • Notes: No trading fees at the base level—volume-based VIP tiers can get you even lower funding and withdrawal costs

• Gate.io

  • Maker: 0.09%

  • Taker: 0.09%

  • Notes: Fees can drop to 0%/0.02% if you stake their native GT token; a strong selection of altcoins and reasonable liquidity

• OKX

  • Maker: 0.08%

  • Taker: 0.10%

  • Notes: Maker fees undercut Binance, and OKX offers up to 40% discounts for OKB-token holders; taker fees match Binance’s at 0.10%

A few caveats to consider:

• Volume tiers & token discounts: Almost every major exchange—including Binance—lets you cut fees by hitting higher 30-day trading volumes or by holding native tokens (e.g. BNB, OKB, GT).

• Deposit/withdrawal fees: Spot-trading fees are only one piece of the puzzle; some exchanges may charge higher withdrawal or fiat-deposit fees.

• Liquidity & market depth: Lower fees are great, but very thin order books can cost you on slippage—especially for large trades.

Before switching, run through each exchange’s full fee schedule and consider your typical trade size, preferred deposit/withdrawal methods, and any token-holding discounts you can leverage.
