Group 1: Highly liquid, flagship pairs (e.g., BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, SOLUSDT, XRPUSDT)
-
Group 2–3: Mid-tier volume pairs with balanced incentives.
-
Group 4–5: Emerging and volatile pairs
Notes:
— All newly listed USDT Perpetual altcoin contracts will automatically fall within Group 5 and adopt the fee rates defined under Group 5 at launch.
— Symbols from the Innovation Zone and Pre-Market Perpetual contracts follow existing trading fee structures and are excluded from symbol grouping.

MM Tiering for Perpetual & Futures
Market Maker levels for perpetual and futures contracts will be determined using a Weighted Maker share calculation to emphasize contribution on high-priority pairs.
Calculation:
Futures Weighted Maker Share = (Your 30-day Total Contracts' Maker volume) ÷ (Total 30-day Contracts' Maker volume from all MMs)
Weighted Volume = Σ (Maker volume per pair × group weighting factor)
Group Weighting Factor

Weighted Maker Share |
|
MM1 |
≥ 0.03% |
|
MM2 |
≥ 0.50% |
|
MM3 |
≥ 1.00% |
For example, trading $1M in a Group 3 contract (8× weight) counts as $8M in weighted Maker volume, boosting your share for level calculation.
Notes:
— The order size placed by the Market Maker should be at least 10x the minimum order size of the respective Derivatives contracts. Otherwise, the Market Maker will receive a notification from Bybit indicating that the order placement does not meet the requirements.
— New joiners are granted a 1-month trial period.
