OKX fees explained,
and 20% off them.
Fees are a hidden cost that grows with every trade. Here's how OKX fees work, what 20% off means in real money, and how to confirm it's active.
OKX fee table (Lv1 regular user)
| Market | Standard | With OK66688 |
|---|---|---|
| Spot | 0.080% / 0.100% | 0.064% / 0.080% |
| USDT-margined perpetual & expiry futures | 0.020% / 0.050% | 0.016% / 0.040% |
| Coin-margined perpetual & expiry futures | 0.020% / 0.050% | 0.016% / 0.040% |
A maker order rests on the order book (a limit order that doesn't fill right away). A taker order fills immediately against existing orders. Withdrawal fees depend on the network and aren't affected by the referral code. Rates may change, so check the OKX fee page.

Enter referral code OK66688 at sign-up to pay 20% less on spot and futures fees, for life.
How to check the discount is active
- At sign-up: the referral field should show OK66688 before you submit.
- After a trade: open the trade history and compare the fee with the standard rate. It should be 20% lower.
- Fee page: your current fee tier is shown on the OKX fee page in the app or on the web.
- Ask support: in-app live chat can confirm whether your account has a referral attached.
The referral code can only be added at sign-up. If you skip it, it normally can't be added later.
Other ways to cut fees
- Use limit orders: maker fees are lower than taker fees.
- Watch your tier: higher balances or volume unlock lower tiers. See the OKX fee page for thresholds.
- Trade less: overtrading costs you in spreads and fees.
- Pick the right network: withdrawal fees differ a lot between chains. Confirm the receiver supports the network first.
