Futures fees are generally cheaper than spot. Current rates:
- Bybit: Maker 0.02%, Taker 0.055%
- Binance: Maker 0.02%, Taker 0.04% (with BNB discount: 0.015%/0.03%)
- OKX: Maker 0.02%, Taker 0.05%
But heads up — there's also funding rate:
Every 8 hours, long positions pay short positions (or vice versa). That's actually the bigger cost if you hold positions long term. Can be 0.01% to 0.1% per 8 hours.
For short-term trading, focus on taker fees. For holding overnight, check funding rates too.
