I like to use many exchanges instead of depending on one, I decided to try MEXC recently to know how it is because I know it is an exchange people can still use without KYC to some level and because it is one if the leading exchanges. I registered and went to their trading fee and I was surprised with what I saw. The trading fee has been the lowest that I have seen on exchanges.

The trading fee in the spot market for all trading pair is 0% for both markers and takers.
The trading fee in the future market is 0% for makers and 0.01% for takers I'm for this USDT-M and Coin-M

Is this kind of promotional offer?


If not because it is a good exchange, I would have thought that I should not accept what seems to be too good to be true. But their withdrawal fee is kind of high. I still prefer OKX withdraw fee among all the exchanges that I am using.

This has been the case for some time now and according to this[1], it is a promotional offer. It's difficult to say when they're going to bring the fees back, but many exchanges have done that in the past to attract users, I highly doubt they would keep it this way forever.

That link is about the MEXC spot market, what about the future trading fee? I think 0% for market makers and 0.01% for market takers is still very low. Is this how it has been or the exchange is also having a promotional offer for future trading fee which makes it this considerably low?

I think I like the exchange but the only thing I wish the exchange could have is multiasset mode or a unified trading account, but which some trader will not like though as they see opening position with multiple currencies to be risky. To open a position with a single currency, I think the exchange would be good.

Maybe you mean the Coin-Margined Perpetual Contract Trading Modes^[1] feature. Anyway, this was an announcement 3 years ago, idk if it's still available now or not, I'm not an active MEXC user. Don't you see the settings related to this feature?

The last exchange that announced zero fees ended up in bankruptcy, which was FTX.
MEXC does not necessarily to make profits from fees. They can impose hidden fees, high withdrawal fees, or offers for a temporary period to attract more users, but in the end, do not use them because the fees are just low. Look for trading volumes, listed assets, identity verification procedures, and the possibility of their bankruptcy.

I know what is coin margin mode since I have known about derivative trading, it is not what I am talking about. If you want to know  what I am talking about, go to Binance derivative and change the USDT-M from single-asset mode to multi-asset mode and see the lists of coins like bitcoin, ether, ripple and some stable coins which you can use at the same time use to open USDT pair position. If you want more options for many coins, go to Bybit and change your account to unified trading account and read about it too.

Exchanges do have promotional offers. Binance has zero trading fee for most of their trading pairs either last year or beginning of this year. Since I joined Bybit, there is still zero trading fee for UDSC trading pairs on spot market. But I am more of the future trading type.

I usually end up comparing and have that thought that mexc and mercatox are the same exchanges. *Signs of getting old*
Btw, thanks for that OP. I use only a few exchange but it's time now I guess to try something new just as what you're doing and with those promos like 0% trading fees. And based from their link blog about how long this promo will stay, it says that "until further notice".

I used the MEXC exchange for a long time and the fees were never zero, but as the members mentioned above there are promotions for a period of time. These offers are good and contribute to attracting more users who want to take advantage of these offers, but I think they are only on certain pairs.

MEXC was one of my favorite exchanges but now I have stopped trading so I only use the exchanges rarely, but in general I know that MEXC has many good features that compete with the larger exchanges.

Watch out for MEXC exchange everyone!
I am hearing a lot of complains from their customers about coins getting stolen/confiscated recently, and they are saying something like risk control, without giving any real explanation for doing this.
There are also some rumors about stolen Coinbase coins getting moved to MEXC, so don't be shocked if they shut down soon.

I like to read things like this, after all, it will reduce the stress of finding an exchange that would charge a low fee and still be worth the service needed. I already use 3 top exchanges but need more exchanges these days for personal reasons, and this is again worth checking out as I like to do my own research.

A low fee is a very good point of attraction for me if I eventually choose this exchange, except that I noticed all the smaller exchanges like to offer a thing like this for a limited duration of time just to attract customers to try them out before even making it worse.

Either way, let me enjoy it while it lasts, but will still maintain a low amount with such an exchange, at least for now.

I have been using MEXC for some time now and I was surprised when I made some purchases on it. The trading fee is way lower than other exchanges and the plus point of not having to go through KYC. What I did not like is that they also use Bitcoin Legacy address and not SegWit, wait for 3 confirmations, and do not support the Lightning Network. What I was impressed with was that they have a good volume on most pairs, no KYC policy might be the reason. I do not think they would be able to last much longer if they kept on like the way they are now. As of now, MEXC would be the first choice for everyone who was trading on Kucoin before KYC was made mandatory.
