Bitget unveils tiered maker rates to attract institutional traders by 2026

Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has rolled out a new group-based maker rate structure for spot and futures trading. The changes will take effect on March 4, 2026, between 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM (UTC+8). The update aims to boost liquidity and refine incentives for professional traders.

The revised program introduces a tiered system, categorising markets into Group A, Group B, and Group C. Maker rebates now range from −0.012% to 0.000% for spot trading and −0.008% to 0.000% for futures, depending on the group and market maker tier (MM1 to MM5).

Bitget has also refined its evaluation framework for market makers. The new criteria include group-weighted metrics and stricter bid-ask spread requirements. These adjustments are designed to scale with institutional trading activity and improve execution quality.

Institutional traders already dominate Bitget's platform, accounting for 82% of spot trading volume and 60% of futures volume in 2025. The latest incentives seek to further strengthen institutional-grade liquidity within the UEX framework.

The updated structure will provide tailored rewards for professional market makers while deepening order-book liquidity. Traders can review the full details on Bitget's official website or contact their market maker support team for specific program information.
