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.
OKX
- OKX grants the same tier on total assets as well as on 30 day futures volume, so a $100K balance alone reaches VIP 1.
- From VIP 7 up, the 10 most traded pairs are priced lower than the rest; the ladder above shows those top 10 pairs.

Questions
Which is cheaper, Aster or OKX?
It depends on your monthly volume:
- Under $10M: Aster is cheaper · $380 vs $450 at $1M
- $10M to $214.3M: OKX is cheaper · $12,600 vs $16,625 at $50M
- From $214.3M up: Aster is cheaper · $109,250 vs $121,500 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%
- OKX: 10% back on a 0.05% fee → you pay 0.0450%
- 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
