Fee Schedule - Derivatives

Last updated: 11 June 2025

1. Derivatives Trading

1.1. Trading Fees*

Maker fees apply to traders who place limit orders that add liquidity to the market. These orders are not immediately fulfilled, thus contributing to a more stable and liquid market environment. Conversely, taker fees will be charged to traders who place market or limit orders that are executed immediately, thereby removing liquidity from the market. Trading fees are charged in the settlement currency of the derivatives contract being traded.

*Current pricing structure is intended to stay in place for an introductory period. Bitstamp intends to introduce volume-based rate card in the future.

1.2. Liquidation Fees

Liquidation fees are charged in the settlement currency of the derivatives contract being traded.

1.3. Funding Rate

Perpetual futures, which are admitted to trading, do not have a set expiration date. To ensure their value remains aligned with the index price of the underlying asset, they incorporate a funding payment mechanism. These funding payments are not categorized as costs or fees but are an essential component of the financial instrument. While they do not directly constitute a charge, they can impact an investor's overall profit or loss.

The funding payments are exchanged directly between perpetual futures position holders; Bitstamp does not partake in or benefit from this exchange. Further details about the funding rate, including its calculation and impact, are available in documents such as Key Information Documents (KIDs).

2. General Fees

2.1. SEPA Transactions

2.1.2. International Wire

2.2. Non-standard Processing

Fees for transfers which are not in EUR, USD or GBP will be charged in USD and converted to the target currency at the current conversion rate.

3. Other  

3.1. Minimum Trade Amount

As set forth in the derivative contract specifications, the minimum trade amount is set to 10.00 USD.

3.2. Fee Rounding

4. Modification of the Fee Schedule
