Hyperliquid has the lowest futures fees (-0.01% maker rebate). For spot trading, OKX offers 0.08% maker / 0.10% taker. Coinbase Advanced is the most expensive at 0.40% maker / 0.60% taker — 6x more than the cheapest alternatives.
Coinbase charges 0.60% taker vs Bybit's 0.10%. On $10,000/month volume: $60/mo on Coinbase vs $10/mo on Bybit. That's $600/year saved by just switching exchanges — for the exact same trades.
Maker fees apply to limit orders that add liquidity (wait to be filled). Taker fees apply to market orders that fill instantly. Maker fees are almost always lower. Using limit orders instead of market orders saves you money on every trade.
A negative maker fee means the exchange pays YOU a rebate for placing limit orders. Hyperliquid's -0.01% maker fee means you earn $1 per $10,000 in limit orders — instead of paying fees, you're paid to trade.
Fees change frequently — verify on each exchange before trading. Not financial advice.
