MEXC futures maker fee is literally 0%. Here's what that saves vs Binance across different position sizes.
Most people know MEXC has low fees, but the actual dollar difference is bigger than it looks when you run the numbers.
Binance futures charges 0.02% maker and 0.04% taker. MEXC charges 0.00% maker and 0.01% taker.
On maker orders (limit orders), MEXC is free — you pay nothing. So every limit trade on Binance is just money you're leaving on the table.
On taker orders the gap is smaller but still real: a $10k trade costs $4 on Binance and $1 on MEXC. A $100k trade costs $40 on Binance and $10 on MEXC.
If you're doing $1M/month in futures volume, that's roughly $300/month in taker fees saved just by switching — before even accounting for maker orders.
The trade-off is liquidity. On BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT it's fine, but on smaller alts the spread can quietly eat into whatever you saved on fees.
