Congratulations! SunCrypto is changing its crypto futures fee structure. Every futures trader on the platform will now pay a lower fee compared to the past. The new Maker Fee is now at 0.02%, which is 35% lower, and the new Taker Fee is now at 0.05%, which is 15% lower than the past fees.
What is changing in the SunCrypto’s crypto futures fee structure?
Three things change with this update:
- New Maker fees are set at 0.02% from 0.03%. This is the fee when your limit order adds liquidity to the order book.
- New Taker fees are set at 0.05% from 0.058%. This is the fee when your order removes liquidity, such as a market order or a limit order that fills immediately.
The change applies to futures trading only. Nothing else about how futures work on SunCrypto changes: the same pairs, the same leverage options, and the same funding mechanism.
Why is SunCrypto adapting to the new crypto futures fee structure?
On demand of Suncrypto users, we are finally offering a new crypto futures fee structure.
Tiered fee programs reward volume, but they also add complexity. Most traders had to check which level they were on, work out how close they were to the next one, and calculate their effective cost before placing a trade.
This new crypto futures fees structure removes that friction in four ways:
- Transparency: You know the exact fee before you open a position, with no tier to look up.
- Fairness: A trader placing their first futures order pays the same rate as an experienced one.
- Simpler planning: Position sizing, stop-loss placement, and profit targets are easier to model when fees don’t change month to month.
- Competitive pricing: The new rates match the base futures rates of global exchanges. Binance’s USDT-M futures, for example, start at 0.020% maker and 0.050% taker before BNB discounts.
What are the new fees in rupees?
Crypto futures fees are charged on the notional value of your position, not just your margin. Here is how the new rates work on a ₹100,000 position:
| Order type | Old fee (VIP 0) | New fee | You save |
| Maker order (one side) | ₹30 | ₹20 | ₹10 |
| Taker order (one side) | ₹58 | ₹50 | ₹8 |
| Full round trip, maker both sides | ₹60 | ₹40 | ₹20 |
| Full round trip, taker both sides | ₹116 | ₹100 | ₹16 |
A trader who opens and closes 100 positions of ₹100,000 each in a month, entirely with taker orders, saves ₹1,600 against the old base rate. A trader who uses limit orders on both sides saves ₹2,000.
How do fees affect leveraged trades?
Because crypto futures fees are charged on the full position size, leverage magnifies their effect on your margin. This is the cost that matters most to active futures traders.
| Leverage | Fee per side as % of margin (old taker, 0.058%) | Fee per side as % of margin (new taker, 0.05%) |
| 5x | 0.29% | 0.25% |
| 10x | 0.58% | 0.50% |
| 20x | 1.16% | 1.00% |
At 10x leverage, a taker round trip now costs about 1.00% of your margin instead of 1.16%. On a trade with a +30% return on margin, that is a meaningful share of the final result. For traders who follow the community’s published monthly PNL reports, where most positions run at 10x or 20x and returns are measured on margin, a lower fee floor means more of each winning trade stays in the account.
Who benefits most from the change?
- New and occasional traders benefit directly. Get 35% off on the maker fee and 15% OFF on the taker fee.
- Regular retail traders at the lower levels get a lower and simpler cost with no volume to maintain.
- Limit-order traders gain the most in relative terms, since the maker rate drops by a third.
- Traders running very high monthly volumes should compare the new flat rate with the rate their VIP level previously gave them. The top levels of the old program went below the new flat rate, so the benefit is greatest for traders at the lower and middle of the range and for those who never qualified for VIP at all.
Maker vs. taker: how to pay the lower rate?
The new crypto futures fees structure keeps a clear gap between the two order types: 0.02% for makers and 0.05% for takers. To pay the maker rate:
- Use limit orders that rest on the order book rather than market orders.
- Place your limit at or beyond the current market price on the correct side so that it does not fill immediately. An order that fills at once is treated as a taker order.
- Use limit orders for exits as well as entries. Take-profit orders are typically limit orders and can qualify for the maker fee.
- Remember that stop-loss triggers usually execute as market orders and are charged the taker rate. Factor that in when planning risk.
The difference compounds. Across a full round trip, taker-both-sides costs 0.10% of notional, while maker-both-sides costs 0.04%.
Final Thoughts
The new SunCrypto crypto futures fees structure replaces a tiered system with a single, easy-to-read rate: 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker for everyone. For most traders, that means lower costs from the first trade and no volume targets to chase.
For leveraged traders, even a small reduction in the fee rate has a visible effect, because fees are charged on the full position and not just the margin. Using limit orders where possible keeps the cost at its lowest.
