Deribit review
0.015% maker and 0.035% taker on perpetuals at the base tier.
Deribit (founded 2016) lists futures, spot and options. Base-tier fees: 0.015% / 0.035% on perpetuals and 0.02% / 0.05% on spot.
The short version
Deribit fees score 8.1 of 10 on published rates.
Deribit publishes 0.015% maker and 0.035% taker on perpetual futures and 0.02% / 0.05% on spot at its Standard tier. On the AffMiss fee index, which turns those three published rates into a number out of ten, that comes to 8.1.
Against the other 8 venues on this site its futures taker rate is below the 0.05% median and its maker rate is below the 0.02% median. A round trip of two market orders on a $10,000 position costs $7.00 in fees at these rates, before funding.
The index measures published fees and nothing else. It says nothing about liquidity, security, solvency, support or whether Deribit accepts customers in your country, and AffMiss has not run a funded test on this venue.
In its favour
- Futures taker 0.035%, below the 0.05% median of the 9 venues here
- Futures maker 0.015%, below the 0.02% median
- Spot 0.02% / 0.05%, below the 0.10% median for the average of both sides
- Options listed at 0.03% / 0.03% of the underlying
Against it
- No funded test yet: fills, slippage, withdrawals and support are unmeasured
