Bitrue charges 0.098% per trade on BTC, ETH and USDT pairs. The three main XRP pairs cost 0.196%, and other XRP pairs cost 0.280%. Pay your fees in BTR, Bitrue’s own token, and you get 20% off at once. USDT futures cost 0.02% for makers and 0.06% for takers.
Those figures come from Bitrue’s own help center article, “Trading Fees on Bitrue”, as it read on October 8, 2026. The article was last updated in December 2024. We could not find a separate public fee page on bitrue.com, which may be why other guides quote a spread of numbers.

How Bitrue’s Spot Trading Fees Work
Bitrue prices spot trades by pair group, not by a volume ladder. Its fee article gives one rate for each group and does not split it into maker and taker.
| Pair group | Fee per trade | Paying in BTR (20% off) |
|---|---|---|
| BTC, ETH and USDT pairs | 0.098% | 0.0784% |
| XRP/BTC, XRP/USDT, XRP/ETH | 0.196% | 0.1568% |
| Other XRP pairs | 0.280% | 0.224% |
The XRP pricing is the detail people miss. Bitrue lists pairs quoted in XRP, and those cost two to nearly three times as much as a USDT pair.
If a coin trades against both USDT and XRP, the USDT pair is the cheaper route.
The BTR Discount
Bitrue’s fee article puts it in one line: pay transaction fees with BTR and get an instant 20% discount. BTR is the exchange’s platform coin.
On a 0.098% pair, that brings the fee to 0.0784%. You need BTR in your account for the discount to apply, so you are also taking on the price risk of holding the token. For an occasional trader the saving is small: about 20 cents on a $1,000 trade.
Bitrue Futures Fees
The same article lists USDT-margined futures at one flat rate across its contracts, from BTC-USDT and ETH-USDT to XRP-USDT, SOL-USDT and DOGE-USDT:
| Futures contracts | Maker | Taker |
|---|---|---|
| USDT-margined pairs | 0.02% | 0.06% |
As on any exchange, futures fees apply to the whole position, not the margin you post. A $1,000 position costs $0.20 to open as a maker and $0.60 as a taker, whatever leverage you use.
Bitrue VIP Program and Zero-Fee Promotions
Bitrue says VIPs get higher discounts and perks on trading fees, and that you apply to join its VIP Program. It does not publish the VIP rates in the fee article, so treat any tier table you see elsewhere with care.
Bitrue also runs frequent short promotions that waive fees on single pairs, often around a new listing. In June 2026, for example, it announced 0% trading fees on its stock token pairs. These offers are announced in the help center and have end dates, so check the announcement before relying on one.
Bitrue Deposit and Withdrawal Fees
The fee article covers trading only. It lists no deposit fee. Withdrawal fees are not published in one public table. They are set per coin and per network and shown on the withdrawal screen.
Before you withdraw, check three things on that screen: the fee, the minimum withdrawal, and the network. Pick a network your receiving wallet supports.
What does a $1,000 trade cost on Bitrue?
Using the rates in Bitrue’s fee article:
- Buy $1,000 of Bitcoin with USDT: 0.098% = $0.98.
- Same trade paying the fee in BTR: 0.0784% = $0.78.
- Buy $1,000 of XRP with USDT: 0.196% = $1.96.
- Trade $1,000 on another XRP pair: 0.280% = $2.80.
- Open a $1,000 futures position: $0.20 as a maker, $0.60 as a taker.
On BTC, ETH and USDT pairs that is a shade under the 0.1% that KuCoin and Gate.io charge at their base levels. On XRP pairs it is about double. Compare the numbers in our KuCoin fees guide and Gate.io fees guide.
Does Bitrue KYC Affect Fees?
No. Verification changes what the account can do and how much it can withdraw, not the trading rate. Fee reductions come from paying in BTR, from the VIP Program and from promotions. Our Bitrue KYC guide covers the verification levels and withdrawal limits.
