Aster
- Aster figures here assume you hold the $ASTER each fee tier requires (500 for VIP 2, up to 2.5M for VIP 6); without it you stay on VIP 1, 0.04%, at any volume.
- The amount per level is on the Aster page.
BloFin
- BloFin sets one tier for every market, on the best of 30 day futures volume, 30 day spot volume or total assets, so you can sit higher than the volume alone suggests.
- If you do not trade by API, VIP 4 and VIP 5 come earlier than the thresholds shown.

Questions
Which is cheaper, Aster or BloFin?
It depends on your monthly volume:
- Under $214.3M: BloFin is cheaper · $360 vs $380 at $1M
- $214.3M to $500M: Aster is cheaper · $46,821 vs $51,429 at $214.3M
- From $500M up: BloFin is cheaper · $105,000 vs $109,250 at $500M
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%
- BloFin: 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
