How Deribit Trading Fees Work

Deribit trading fees depend on the product being traded and the applicable fee schedule. The tables above show the rates covered on Deribit and make it easier to compare futures and options trading costs in one place.

For derivatives, Deribit futures fees apply to futures and perpetual contracts. Your effective Deribit fee depends on the relevant contract and whether the order is charged at the maker or taker rate. The fee information above can also be compared with the rates charged by supported Perp DEXs.

Deribit is also a major options venue, so Deribit options fees form a separate part of its trading fee schedule. Options and futures can use different pricing rules, which means Deribit option fees should be checked separately when comparing trading costs across products.
