Crypto fee cashback returns an agreed share of approved eligible trading fees. Calculate it from fees actually paid and eligible, not from volume or a headline bonus.
What changes the answer
A fee rebate is funded through an applicable exchange affiliate relationship. The exchange reports qualifying activity, and the service applies its own approved sharing terms. Exchange referral discounts, the affiliate commission and the service cashback percentage are different quantities; adding them does not establish a combined discount.
Use executed fills and the fee asset recorded in trade history. For USDT comparisons, convert non-USDT fees consistently at the stated valuation time. Reconcile gross fees with the part approved as eligible. A zero-fee fill, an excluded API trade or a bonus-funded fee can produce no eligible commission even when the order has large volume.
Check account attribution before estimating a refund. Existing-account rules differ by exchange, and a referral code is not an approval. Trade Cashback identifies an eligible account through its public UID and exchange affiliate reporting; the UID itself grants no trading or withdrawal rights.
100,000 USDT: a worked fee example
Assume 100,000 USDT total executed volume, 0.02% maker fee, 0.06% taker fee, 75% of paid fees eligible, and a hypothetical 30% service share. These inputs belong to no named exchange. Cashback = eligible fees × share; net trading fee = fees paid − cashback. If eligible fees are zero, cashback is zero. A smaller cashback amount can accompany a lower total cost.
| Maker share | Fees paid (USDT) | Eligible fees (USDT) | Cashback (USDT) | Net trading fee (USDT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0% | 60 | 45 | 13.5 | 46.5 |
| 50% | 40 | 30 | 9 | 31 |
| 100% | 20 | 15 | 4.5 | 15.5 |
Can an existing exchange account receive cashback?
| Account situation | What to check |
|---|---|
| New account | Check country, KYC, product and partner terms before using the exchange-specific registration route. |
| Existing account with no referrer | Some exchanges offer a limited linking process. Check account age, main-account status and the exchange guide; a public UID alone does not bind a referrer. |
| Account already linked to another referrer | Do not assume that a new code changes the relationship. Request the applicable partner review; do not create duplicate accounts or move KYC to force eligibility. |
| Attribution or country status unknown | Verify the exchange record and country/product rules first. A supported website language is not permission to use an exchange in every country. |
Calculate the cost on the same basis
Compare the same product, pair, country, VIP tier and execution assumptions. Trading volume counts executed buys and sells; do not double it again if both sides are already included. Fee cashback covers approved eligible trading fees, not funding, spread, slippage, liquidation, borrowing or withdrawal costs. An estimate is not a payment or a guarantee of eligibility.
