MEXC review

The short version

MEXC fees score 8.3 of 10 on published rates.

MEXC publishes 0.01% maker and 0.04% taker on perpetual futures and 0% / 0.05% on spot at its Standard (no MX discount) tier. On the AffMiss fee index, which turns those three published rates into a number out of ten, that comes to 8.3.

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 $8.00 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 MEXC accepts customers in your country, and AffMiss has not run a funded test on this venue.

MEXC fee index

The fee index turns MEXC’s published base-tier fees into a number out of ten, using the formulas on the methodology page. It is a measure of published cost only. It is not a rating of safety, liquidity or service.

MEXC fees, dated

Published base-tier rates, each with the day it was read. When a rate changes, the new reading is added above the old one so the movement stays visible.

What the headline rates leave out

• MEXC’s own pages do not agree with each other: its zero-fee page describes the futures base rate as 0% maker / 0.04% taker and advertises 0% on all spot pairs, while the Learn article gives 0.01% / 0.04% futures and 0% / 0.05% spot. AffMiss uses the higher figures. Check the rate shown on the trading page before you rely on either.
• MEXC states that API users, market makers and institutional accounts are not eligible for zero-fee promotions.
• MEXC states that rates may vary by country or region and by trading pair.

These are published rates, not statement readings. Your tier, the pair you trade and any token discount decide what you are charged; the order ticket is the binding number.

Who MEXC suits

Fee-sensitive traders on both spot and futures who are willing to confirm the live rate on the order ticket.

Who it does not suit: Anyone who needs a fee schedule that reads the same on every page of the venue’s own site, and API traders counting on promotional rates.

MEXC alternatives

Two venues with a similar product range, scored with the same fee formulas. Each one has a head-to-head page that sets the two fee schedules side by side.
