Few venues list crypto options at all, and AffMiss ranks only those whose options fee schedule it has read. The options fee carries 60 of 100 points; the futures taker and maker fees carry the rest, because most options traders hedge with perpetuals on the same venue.
3 of 9 venues qualifyRe-weighted from the same published feesFees read 10 November 2026Affiliate
Bybit and OKX both publish 0.02% maker and 0.03% taker on options. Deribit publishes 0.03% on both sides and caps the fee at 12.5% of the premium, and it has the cheapest futures hedge of the three at 0.015% / 0.035%.
Deribit leads at 7.4 of 10, 0.2 ahead of OKX at 7.2.
At published base rates, entering and leaving a $10,000 position with market orders costs $7.00 in fees at Deribit and $10.00 at OKX. Spread, slippage and funding come on top and are not measured here.
Options are priced per contract on the underlying, with caps that differ by venue, so the cheapest schedule on paper is not always the cheapest for a low-premium option. Use the options cost calculator before sizing a trade.
What this ranking uses: published options maker and taker fees, charged as a percentage of the underlying, plus base-tier futures fees. Nothing was re-read for this ranking: only the weights moved, and they are printed below.
What this ranking weights, against the main board
The same published fees, a different set of shares. Where a weight rises, that fee decides more of the order. Where it falls to zero, the fee is still shown but does not count.

7.4score
0.015% maker and 0.035% taker on perpetuals at the base tier. The line that carries most weight here is options fees, where it scores 7.0 of 10.
6 of the 9 venues have no options schedule on record here: Bitget, KuCoin, Binance, Phemex, MEXC, BingX.
What this ranking does not say
Binance also lists options, but its options fee schedule has not been read by AffMiss, so it is not ranked here.
These are base-tier published fees. VIP tiers, token discounts and promotions change what you pay.
Fees are one part of cost. Spread, slippage and funding are not measured here and can outweigh a fee difference.
No venue on this page has been through a funded AffMiss test.
Check that a venue accepts customers in your country before opening an account.
Nothing on this page is investment advice, and no ranking is a statement that an account is safe to hold a balance in. Crypto assets are volatile; leverage can lose the whole deposit.
Common questions
On rates read on 10 November 2026, Bybit and OKX publish 0.02% maker / 0.03% taker of the underlying, and Deribit publishes 0.03% / 0.03%. Fee caps and delivery fees differ, so check them for the options you trade.
As a percentage of the underlying index price per contract, not of the premium, with a cap so that cheap options are not charged more than a set share of their price. Deribit caps the fee at 12.5% of the premium.
AffMiss ranks a venue for options only once it has read that venue’s options fee schedule from the venue’s own pages. That has not been done for Binance yet.
