Gate vs Bitget Fee Rebate 2026: Up to 70% vs 50%

Gate and Bitget pay the biggest fee rebates among the major exchanges. Compared with the common KOL referral codes that pay only 20% or 25%, binding through Quant Nova gets you 60%–70% back on Gate and 40%–50% on Bitget: Gate's top rate is 3.5× a 20% code and Bitget's is 2.5×. In money terms, on 1,000 USDT of monthly fees a typical 20% code returns 200 USDT, Bitget returns 400–500 USDT and Gate 600–700 USDT. Head to head, Gate wins on both fees and rebates: futures taker is 0.05% on Gate and 0.06% on Bitget, and after the top rebate the net rates are 0.015% vs 0.03%, so Bitget costs exactly twice as much. Bitget's case lies elsewhere: MSTR, SPY and NVDA tokenized stock perps trade more volume there than on Gate, BGB discounts cover both spot and margin, and users in China get a mirror link and a faster rebind path. Below we go through it all, then finish with a verdict by scenario.

Quick verdict

• More than double what common codes pay: bound through Quant Nova, Gate totals 60%–70%, 3–3.5× a typical 20% code; Bitget pays 40%–50%, 2–2.5×.
• On 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, a typical 20% code returns 200 USDT; through Quant Nova, Bitget returns up to 500 USDT and Gate up to 700 USDT.
• Fees: spot is 0.10%/0.10% on both and futures maker 0.02% on both; futures taker is 0.05% on Gate and 0.06% on Bitget. After the rebate, the net futures taker rate goes as low as 0.015% on Gate and 0.03% on Bitget.
• Platform tokens: paying spot fees in GT on Gate costs 0.09%; paying spot and margin fees in BGB on Bitget gives 20% off, 0.08%, but not on futures.
• Tokenized US stock perps: Gate lists 183 and Bitget 177; each wins on volume somewhere, with MSTR, SPY and NVDA bigger on Bitget and CL, TSLA and AAPL bigger on Gate.

Why these two: the rebate rates at a glance

Both use the same structure: the exchange refunds 20% automatically, and Quant Nova adds an extra rebate by tier. The difference is how thick that extra part is: 40%–50% on Gate, 20%–30% on Bitget.

Most KOL codes you can find online pay only 20% or 25%, and a referrer can even set the first layer to 0% and keep it all. On the same fees: Gate's Lv.1 60% is 3× a 20% code and 2.4× a 25% code, and its top 70% is 3.5× and 2.8×; Bitget's Lv.1 40% is 2× a 20% code and 1.6× a 25% code, and its top 50% is 2.5× and 2×. In money, on 1,000 USDT of monthly fees:

Both top tiers are invitation-only. Supernova (Gate 70%, Bitget 50%) is reserved for specific high-volume users and has to be negotiated. The highest tier you can reach by trading is SVIP: Gate 65%, Bitget 45%. Even at SVIP, Gate pays 3.25× a common 20% code and Bitget 2.25×.

Why does Gate pay so much more? Gate gives affiliates a larger share than other exchanges do, and Quant Nova passes the extra down. Your tier depends on XP, which is simply the fees you paid over the last 30 days (1 USDT of fees = 1 XP), counted separately per exchange. Full tier tables: Gate fee rebate guide and Bitget fee rebate guide.

Listed fees: Bitget's futures taker costs 20% more

A fee rebate is a percentage of your fees, so start with the baseline. These are the standard (VIP 0) listed rates:

Fees verified on 2026-09-24 (each exchange's official fee schedule).

Bitget's 0.06% futures taker is 1.2× Gate's 0.05%, so it is 20% more expensive on paper. The taker-to-maker ratio is 3× on Bitget (0.06 ÷ 0.02) and 2.5× on Gate (0.05 ÷ 0.02), so switching to limit orders saves more on Bitget. Always check the latest official rates: Gate official fee announcement and Bitget official fee FAQ.

Net futures cost: Bitget runs about 2× Gate

There is one formula: net rate = listed rate × (1 − rebate rate). Futures taker:

Futures maker (0.02%) points the same way: Gate 0.008% at Lv.1, 0.007% at SVIP and 0.006% at the top; Bitget 0.012%, 0.011% and 0.01%.

Even on Bitget, the smaller of the two rebates, the top Quant Nova net rate of 0.03% is almost 40% below the 0.048% you pay on Bitget with a common 20% code (0.06% × 80%).

Now in money. Assume 500,000 USDT of monthly notional volume, all taker: Gate fees are 500,000 × 0.05% = 250 USDT and Bitget fees are 500,000 × 0.06% = 300 USDT.

Tier for tier, the two differ by 75–80 USDT a month, about 900 USDT a year at the top tier (75 × 12). The gap against a common 20% code is bigger: on the same 500,000 USDT, binding Quant Nova saves 125 USDT a month on Gate (200 − 75) and 90 USDT on Bitget (240 − 150).

Most people do not trade all taker. With 70% taker and 30% maker, the blended rate is 0.041% on Gate and 0.048% on Bitget; after the top rebate that is Gate 0.041% × 30% ≈ 0.0123% and Bitget 0.048% × 50% = 0.024%, still about 2× apart. More on the method: effective perp fees after the rebate.

Platform tokens: GT at 0.09% vs BGB at 20% off

Both let you pay spot fees in their platform token, at different discounts: GT on Gate gives 0.09%, about 10% off; BGB on Bitget gives 0.08%, 20% off, and also works for margin but not futures. Gate's GT discount on futures follows its official announcements. The rebate is calculated on the fee you actually paid after the discount, so the two have to be stacked:

The top spot rebate is 65% on Gate and 45% on Bitget, which is what the "max" rows use. The result is clear: BGB's discount is twice GT's, but it cannot make up the rebate gap. On 100,000 USDT of monthly spot volume, paying in the platform token at the top tier, Gate nets 100,000 × 0.0315% = 31.5 USDT and Bitget 100,000 × 0.044% = 44 USDT; without the token it is 35 vs 55 USDT.

Platform tokens have to be bought and held; the rebate does not. GT and BGB discounts require holding the token and carrying its price risk. The Quant Nova rebate only needs your UID: 60%–65% back on Gate spot and 40%–45% on Bitget, 3–3.25× and 2–2.25× a common 20% code.

Tokenized US stock perps: each wins somewhere

Both list tokenized US stock perpetuals at their normal futures fees: Gate 0.02%/0.05% (on a separate TradFi fee table since 2026-09-01, see Gate's official announcement) and Bitget 0.02%/0.06%. Against Binance's 198 TradFi perps as the reference set, Gate covers 183 and Bitget 177. Measured 24-hour notional volume (USDT):

Data as of 2026-09-20, from each exchange's public API.

It is three each. Bitget's edge is in MSTR (40.9M, about 3.6× Gate) and SPY (3.9M, about 20× Gate); Gate leads in CL (34.6M, about 1.5× Bitget) and AAPL (1.2M, 4× Bitget). On fees Gate is cheaper: at 500,000 USDT a month, all taker, top tier, Gate's net cost is 75 USDT and Bitget's 150 USDT.

How to decide: if you mainly trade MSTR or SPY, Bitget's volume advantage is clear and slippage on large orders may matter more than the fee gap. If you trade CL, choose Gate, which wins on both volume and net cost. Either way, Quant Nova beats a common 20% code: on the same 500,000 USDT, you get 125 USDT more a month on Gate (250 × 50%) and 90 USDT more on Bitget (300 × 30%).

Two details: when you arrive through the QUANTXXX link, Gate's signup page shows "--" for the automatic rebate on "Stocks"; this section is about the tokenized stock perpetuals in the futures list. Also, on names like MSTR and CL, funding can cost an order of magnitude more than fees. See tokenized stock perp fee comparison.

Product and settlement differences

• Where rebates land: on both, the money arrives in two places, with 20% in your exchange account and the extra rebate in your Quant Nova balance, credited around T+1 and withdrawable at any time.
• Can you see your own code: Bitget does not show which code your account is bound to, so you can neither check nor change it later. Gate writes the relationship when the account is created, with no time limit as long as it is not terminated.
• Bitget Wallet has its own rules: the "add a code within 7 days" claim online refers to Bitget Wallet, not the Bitget exchange. Do not mix them up.
• Users in China: Bitget has a mirror signup link that works without a VPN (also carrying NOVA888), and China-KYC accounts have a faster rebind path, covered in the next section.
• VIP tiers are separate: Gate looks at 30-day volume, GT holdings or assets, with futures counted at only 40% of volume; Bitget looks at volume, account assets or BGB holdings. VIP fee cuts and rebates do not affect each other.

Adding a code later and rebinding: Gate takes a new email, Bitget takes 30 days

Neither has a public way to add a code after signup, and neither lets you change the binding. The difference is the cost of rebinding:

Gate: just use another email

One Gate KYC can register up to 5 accounts, so existing users simply sign up again with a new email and enter QUANTXXX. A phone number is optional; a passkey or Google Authenticator works instead. No deletion, no cooldown. After rebinding, Gate pays 60%–70% in total: 600–700 USDT back on 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, 400–500 USDT more than a common 20% code.Full steps: Gate rebind guide.

Bitget: delete and wait 30 days, or take one of two faster routes

The first route is to delete your account, wait out the 30-day cooldown, then register again with the same email through our link (official rule: Bitget account deletion guide). China-KYC users are faster: after deleting, contact support with the new account's UID (using NOVA888) and the old UID, and the 30-day cooldown can be lifted, done within a working day. The fastest method is to register a brand-new account through our link under a family member's identity and bind NOVA888. After rebinding, Bitget pays 40%–50% in total: 400–500 USDT back on the same 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, 2–2.5× a common 20% code.Full steps: Bitget rebind guide.

Which one should you pick?

• Mostly futures and you want the lowest fees → Gate. Lower fees (0.05% vs 0.06%) and higher rebates (60%–70% vs 40%–50%) leave a net rate about half of Bitget's.
• Trading MSTR, SPY and similar tokenized stocks in large size → Bitget. Volume on these names is clearly higher, and slippage may matter more than the fee gap.
• Trading crude oil CL → Gate. It wins on both volume and net cost.
• Spot only and happy to hold a platform token → still Gate. BGB discounts more, but with the token at the top tier Gate's 0.0315% still beats Bitget's 0.044%.
• China-KYC user with an existing Bitget account → staying on Bitget works too: support can lift the cooldown and you can rebind to NOVA888 within a working day.
• You need both → bind both. Route different trades to different exchanges; all rebates show up in one dashboard and tiers are counted separately.

For the full ranking and every head-to-head across twelve exchanges, see the crypto exchange fee rebate comparison.

Next step: new users can sign up on Gate with referral code QUANTXXX and on Bitget with referral code NOVA888, then bind the UID on Quant Nova. If you already have an account, follow the Gate rebind guide or the Bitget rebind guide. On 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, that is more each month than a common 20% code: 400–500 USDT on Gate and 200–300 USDT on Bitget.

Frequently asked questions

Which pays a higher fee rebate, Gate or Bitget?

Gate. Bound through Quant Nova, Gate totals 60%–70% (spot up to 65%) and Bitget 40%–50% (spot up to 45%). Both refund 20% automatically; the difference is Quant Nova's extra layer, 40%–50% on Gate and 20%–30% on Bitget.

Which is cheaper, Gate or Bitget?

Gate. Futures taker is 0.05% on Gate and 0.06% on Bitget; after the top rebate the net rates are 0.015% (0.05% × 30%) and 0.03% (0.06% × 50%), so Bitget costs twice as much.

Does paying in BGB make Bitget cheaper than Gate?

No. BGB brings Bitget spot down to 0.08%, which is 0.044% after the top rebate; Gate with GT is 0.09%, or 0.0315% after the rebate. BGB also only covers spot and margin, not futures.

Should I trade tokenized US stocks on Gate or Bitget?

It depends on the ticker. MSTR, SPY and NVDA trade more on Bitget, while CL, TSLA and AAPL trade more on Gate. On fees alone, at 500,000 USDT a month all taker at the top tier, Gate costs 75 USDT and Bitget 150 USDT.

Do I have to wait 30 days to rebind an old Bitget account?

Not necessarily. Deleting and waiting out the 30-day cooldown is the standard route; China-KYC users can ask support to lift the cooldown within a working day, or you can open a new account under a family member's identity.

How much more do I get through Quant Nova than with a common KOL code?

On 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, a common 20% code returns 200 USDT; through Quant Nova, Gate returns 600–700 USDT (3–3.5×) and Bitget 400–500 USDT (2–2.5×).

Do Gate and Bitget use the same referral code?

No. Gate uses QUANTXXX and Bitget uses NOVA888; a wrong code is the same as no code, and it cannot be changed after signup. You can bind both, with tiers and XP counted per exchange.
