We’re celebrating ETH’s sixth birthday by updating our fee structure on all ETHUSD products from now until 29 August at 23:59 UTC!

Here’s what will change:

• Taker Fee: Reduce to 5bps from 7.5bps (2.5bps decrease)
• Maker Rebate: Reduced to 1bps from 2.5 bps (1.5 bps decrease)

This applies to all ETHUSD products – the ETHUSD perpetual swap plus the ETHUSDU21 and ETHU21 futures.

More information is available on our blog.

Please be reminded that we will temporarily halt trading on the BitMEX platform on Thursday, 12 August at 02:15 UTC to facilitate a major upgrade to our operating system. From this time, any order actions will be rejected. Deposits made will be queued for processing.

The system will be online again in cancel-only mode from approximately 03:10 UTC. Order cancel requests and deposits will be processed normally. Continuous trading will recommence from approximately 03:15 UTC. 

From the halt of trading until continuous trading resumes, there will be no Mark Price updates and hence no liquidations.

For more information, please see our blog.
