New Fee Schedule On Deribit
Deribit announced a revised VIP fee schedule effective August 1, 2026, featuring lower taker fees, a new VIP7 tier, and spot market fees. The changes precede the launch of a new matching engine and integration of Coinbase International perpetuals.
Deribit, the crypto derivatives exchange, has announced a new fee schedule that will take effect on August 1, 2026. The update is part of a broader series of platform upgrades, including the upcoming Starbase matching engine and the consolidation of Coinbase International Derivatives Exchange (INTX) perpetual markets into Deribit.
Under the revised fee structure, taker fees and maker rebates for perpetuals and futures will be reduced, while net fees remain similar to current levels. Volume requirements for VIP tiers 2 through 6 have been lowered, and a new VIP7 tier has been introduced, offering additional benefits such as a 10% discount on block trade fees and full waiver of options settlement fees.
Deribit is also introducing fees for spot markets, but these will be waived until the platform connects to Coinbase spot liquidity. Once integrated, Deribit traders will access deeper liquidity from Coinbase while paying fees ranging from 2 to 5 basis points for the highest tier down to 0/2 bps for the lowest.
Additional changes effective August 1 include setting liquidation fees to 1% across all products, discontinuing differentiated fees for daily and weekly futures (simplifying the structure), and reducing maker rebates for futures spreads to zero.
These updates prepare the platform for significant expansions, including new perpetual markets covering additional crypto assets and real-world assets (RWAs) such as stocks and commodities, as well as the integration of Coinbase spot liquidity directly within the Deribit interface.
