Risk warning. Not financial advice. Crypto is highly volatile and may drop in value significantly. You may lose the amounts you invest and your investments do not benefit from any form of financial protection.
At Tier 1, Backpack Exchange fees are 0.08% maker and 0.10% taker on spot and 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker on perpetual futures. The USDT/USDC pair has a 0% fee, and USD wires carry no fee in either direction. Tiers are recalculated hourly from 30-day volume, and a BP stake or assets held can also place you in a higher tier.
| Tier | Maker | Taker | BP staked | Assets held | 30-day spot volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 0.08% | 0.10% | Entry tier: no threshold listed | ||
| Tier 2 | 0.07% | 0.09% | 350 BP | not listed | $100,000 |
| Tiers 3 to 5 | Not captured in the source | ||||
| Tier 6 | 0.03% | 0.05% | 30,000 BP | not listed | $10,000,000 |
| VIP 1 | 0.02% | 0.045% | 50,000 BP | $250,000 | $15,000,000 |
| VIP 2 to 4 | Not captured in the source | ||||
| VIP 5 | 0% | 0.025% | 500,000 BP | $5,000,000 | $100,000,000 |
Reaching the threshold in any one column is enough for that tier. A maker order rests on the order book and adds liquidity. A taker order fills against an order that is already there. Both terms are in the glossary: maker and taker fees defined.

Funding is not in this table. Funding payments pass between traders who hold long and short positions and are not a platform fee: how funding payments differ from fees.
Perpetual futures are not available in the UAE. Markets, collateral and regional limits are on the product page: perpetual futures markets and margin rules.
Source and status are the same as for the spot table: the support article on trading fees, read 6 October 2026.
Fee tiers follow your 30-day trading volume and are recalculated every hour, according to the fees page on backpack.exchange. Your effective tier is the highest one reached through any of the three routes that page names.
The support article also lists an assets-held threshold for the VIP tiers it shows: $250,000 for VIP 1 and $5,000,000 for VIP 5. The USDT/USDC pair has a 0% fee.
Each tier has a spot volume threshold and a futures volume threshold. The source does not say whether volume in one market counts toward your tier in the other.
Buying or staking BP only to reach a lower tier exposes you to the price of BP, which can fall.
The home page of backpack.exchange says USD can be wired in and out of an account with no fee in either direction. Your own bank, or an intermediary bank, may still charge for sending or receiving a wire. Those charges are outside this schedule.
Crypto network withdrawal fees, EUR and other fiat rails, minimums and processing times are not stated in the sources read, so this page gives no figure for them.
The banner on the live home page reads "Trade stocks 24/7/365 with 0% fees." This page takes that to mean 0% commission on stock and ETF orders.
The sources list no other stock costs, such as spreads, currency conversion or regulatory charges, so none is shown here.
The sources give no trading fee for lending or borrowing. What a lender receives and a borrower pays is a variable rate, set per market. It is not a fee from this schedule and it is not guaranteed.
Rates are printed only in the dated rate block on the lending page.
Which company provides each product depends on where you live. Check the company and licence for your region before you rely on a figure from this page.
| Order | Your side | Rate | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10,000 spot order | Taker | 0.10% | $10.00 |
| $10,000 spot order | Maker | 0.08% | $8.00 |
| $10,000 perpetual futures order | Taker | 0.05% | $5.00 |
The fee is the order value multiplied by the rate: $10,000 at 0.10% is $10, at 0.08% is $8 and at 0.05% is $5. Buying and later selling are two orders, and each one is charged.
These are illustrations, not quotes. They leave out funding payments, spreads and network fees. The futures line assumes the fee applies to the full order value, not to the margin posted.
This page is a concept version of the Backpack Exchange fee schedule. Every number on it was copied from a Backpack-owned page. None was measured or estimated.
The live fees page builds its table in the browser, so the tier values could not be read from its HTML and come from the support article instead. That article was already about six months old when it was read. The page is re-dated only when a value changes.
For the business behind these charges, the About page explains how Backpack earns revenue.
0.08% maker and 0.10% taker on spot, and 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker on perpetual futures, at Tier 1. Rates fall as the tier rises. At VIP 5, the last tier captured from the source, spot costs 0% maker and 0.025% taker and perpetual futures cost 0% maker and 0.018% taker. All values were read on 6 October 2026.
350 BP staked, or $100,000 of 30-day spot volume, or $500,000 of 30-day perpetual futures volume moves you from Tier 1 to Tier 2. Your effective tier is the highest one reached through your BP stake, your trading volume or a pre-TGE Mad Lad NFT holding. The VIP tiers captured also list an assets-held threshold, from $250,000 for VIP 1.
Yes: 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker on perpetual futures at Tier 1, against 0.08% and 0.10% on spot. Perpetual futures tiers also have their own 30-day volume thresholds, starting at $500,000 for Tier 2. Funding is separate again. Traders who hold long and short positions pay it to each other, and it is not a platform fee.
No. The live home page of backpack.exchange says: "Wire USD in and out of your account. No fee, either direction." The statement was read on 6 October 2026. Your own bank, or an intermediary bank, may still charge for sending or receiving the wire, and those charges are outside this fee schedule.
Every hour. The fees page on backpack.exchange says tiers are based on 30-day volume and recalculated hourly, so your tier can change within a day. This page is not a live feed. Its values were read on 6 October 2026, are checked every 30 days and are re-dated only when one of them changes.
USDT/USDC. The fees page on backpack.exchange says the USDT/USDC pair has a 0% fee, so trading one of these two stablecoins for the other on that pair carries no trading fee. The sources name no other 0% pair. Separately, the maker rate at VIP 5 is 0% on both spot and perpetual futures.
