Which one to open

Options traders, and futures takers who want the lowest base taker rate in this set (0.035%) on a derivatives-only venue.
Not for
Read the reviewTraders who want a broad altcoin spot market, copy trading or fiat on-ramps.
Traders who split activity between spot and derivatives: 0.08% spot maker is below the 0.10% most large venues charge, and the futures rates match Binance.
Not for
Read the reviewTraders in a country where OKX restricts derivatives, or anyone who needs a single flat rate across every pair.
