Fee Rebate for Grid and Arbitrage Traders

High-turnover strategies pay fees constantly, which is where a rebate matters most. Worked examples at grid and arbitrage volumes.

Grid, arbitrage, and cross-exchange strategies turn over huge volume on razor-thin per-trade margins, so fees often decide the outcome. Rebate = fees × rebate rate, and because these strategies carry an especially large fee base, the amount rebate reclaims is especially large too. On 5M USDT of monthly volume (perp taker 0.05%, ~2,500 USDT in monthly fees), binding through Quant Nova returns up to Gate 1,750, WEEX 1,750, MEXC 1,500, Bitget 1,250, Binance 1,000, Bybit 1,000, OKX 500 (official 20%, extra via support) each month.

Who is this for?

Anyone running spot or futures grids, market making, funding-rate arbitrage, or cross-exchange/cross-pair arb. Your edge comes from volume, not big single wins, so fees are the most direct cost — and rebate is the most direct offset.

Why rebate matters most to high-turnover strategies

Arb and grid gross margins may be just a few basis points, and a round trip of fees can eat most of that. Returning 40%–70% of fees lowers your breakeven directly — some near-breakeven strategies only turn truly profitable once rebate is added. That's not marketing; you can verify it with the formula above.

How much can you save? (high-turnover scenario)

At perp taker 0.05%, 5M USDT of monthly volume (~2,500 USDT in monthly fees), and each exchange's top tier, you get back per month:

Which exchange fits you?

The higher your turnover, the more the gap between rebate rates is amplified, so Gate (up to 70%) has the edge if you want the most back. If your arb needs specific coin depth or funding rates, let the strategy decide and pick the highest rebate among the exchanges you can run on. Most grid orders fill as maker at lower rates, so the fee base is smaller, but the rebate rate is unchanged. See how tiers and XP work below:

FAQ

Do grid-bot fees earn rebate?

Yes. Whether orders are manual or from a bot, any fee generated by your bound UID counts toward rebate and XP.

Maker fees are low — is rebate pointless then?

Still worth it. Rebate returns a percentage of the fees you actually pay — with low maker fees the amount returned is lower, but the rate is unchanged, and at very high turnover the accumulated total is still substantial.

For cross-exchange arb, can I earn rebate on both sides?

Yes. Bind the UID on both exchanges and each side's fees count toward rebate and XP separately.

How often is rebate settled — can I withdraw right away?

It settles daily, and your balance can be withdrawn in USDT anytime — suited to high-turnover strategies that need fast cost recovery.

Why is OKX only counted at 20%?

OKX policy only permits advertising up to 20%, so the estimate uses 20%; anything beyond 20% is arranged via support.

These are estimates using reference rates; actual fees and rebates follow what each exchange and the Quant Nova platform display in real time. This article is information, not investment advice.
