Bybit offers a tiered trading fee structure tailored for both non-VIP and VIP users, providing discounted rates based on account activity and asset balances. This guide breaks down the fee schedules, VIP requirements, and strategies to optimize your trading costs.
Understanding Bybit's VIP Levels and Fee Discounts
Your VIP level is determined by either:
- Asset balance (total wallet balance excluding staked assets)
- 30-day trading volume (spot, derivatives, or options)
Meeting just one criterion unlocks the corresponding VIP level's benefits. For example:
- A trader with a $500K asset balance (VIP 3) and $15M derivatives volume (VIP 4) qualifies for VIP 4 rates
- VIP status updates daily at 7AM UTC, with subaccounts inheriting the main account's tier

Key Factors in VIP Calculation
- Net borrowing (margin trading/loans) affects eligibility
- API trading volume has specific thresholds for Pro levels
- Forex/CFD volume applies a 10x multiplier (e.g., $100M Forex = $10M crypto equivalent)
