OKX VIP levels:
assets or volume, either counts.
Almost everyone starts as a regular user. VIP thresholds are high — but the rules show that the easiest way for a regular user to get low fees is the referral link at sign-up.
OKX fee tiers since November 2025
- The old Lv1–Lv5 regular levels were replaced by a single regular user tier.
- VIP expanded from 8 to VIP 1–9 with lower entry thresholds.
- Upgrades use total assets or 30-day volume, whichever is higher — no OKB requirement.
- Tiers update daily on rolling 30-day data.

How regular users get VIP-level fees
| Trade | Direct | Referral link | VIP 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spot maker / taker | 0.080% / 0.100% | 0.064% / 0.080% | 0.0675% / 0.080% |
| Futures maker / taker | 0.020% / 0.050% | 0.016% / 0.040% | 0.018% / 0.040% |
A regular user who signed up with the referral link already matches or beats VIP 1 rates — without $100K in assets or $1M in monthly volume.
How to become OKX VIP
- Hold assets above the threshold, or
- reach the 30-day spot or futures volume threshold.
- The upgrade is automatic on the next daily snapshot.
Don’t churn volume just to reach VIP — the fees and losses usually cost more than the upgrade saves.
