Questions
Which is cheaper, Aster or Bitunix?
One answer at every volume:
- At every volume: Bitunix is cheaper · $300 vs $380 at $1M
Why does the bigger rebate not always win?
A rebate is a share of the fee. A higher fee can hand back more dollars and still cost you more.
- Aster: 5% back on a 0.04% fee → you pay 0.0380%
- Bitunix: 40% back on a 0.06% fee → you pay 0.0360%
- What you pay is the fee after the rebate, not the rebate %
Can I use both codes?
Yes.
- They are separate exchanges, so each account gets its own rebate
- Open each one through its own Rakebk link or code
- A code only works on a new account
How are these numbers worked out?
- Every order counted as a taker
- At the fee tier your monthly volume reaches on each exchange's published ladder
- Minus the rebate
- Both ladders are on this page, read from each exchange's own fee page
