The rebate gap between WEEX and Bitget fits in one sentence: bound through Quant Nova, WEEX's no-threshold Lv.1 already pays 60%, more than Bitget's top tier of 50%. Against the common KOL referral codes that pay only 20% or 25%, WEEX's 60%–70% on futures is 3–3.5× a 20% code and Bitget's 40%–50% is 2–2.5×. In money terms, on 1,000 USDT of monthly fees a typical 20% code returns 200 USDT, Bitget returns 400–500 USDT and WEEX 600–700 USDT. On list fees Bitget is cheaper, with a futures taker fee of 0.06% against WEEX's 0.08%. The rebate flips that order: at the top tier the net rate is 0.024% on WEEX (0.08% × 30%) and 0.03% on Bitget (0.06% × 50%), and at the no-threshold Lv.1 WEEX's 0.032% is still below Bitget's 0.036%. Bitget's case lies elsewhere: far more volume on tokenized US stock perps, a 20% BGB discount on spot fees, and a fast rebind path for users with Chinese KYC. Below we go through each point, then finish with a verdict by scenario.
Quick verdict
- WEEX wins from the first tier: bound through Quant Nova, WEEX futures pay Lv.1 60% and up to 70%, 3–3.5× a common 20% code; Bitget pays Lv.1 40% and up to 50%, 2–2.5×.
- On 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, a typical 20% code returns 200 USDT; through Quant Nova, Bitget returns 400–500 USDT and WEEX 600–700 USDT.
- Net futures cost: list taker fees are WEEX 0.08% and Bitget 0.06%; after the rebate it is 0.032% vs 0.036% at Lv.1 and 0.024% vs 0.03% at the top tier, so WEEX is lower at every tier.
- Spot: WEEX maker 0%, taker 0.10%; Bitget 0.10% / 0.10%, or 0.08% when paid in BGB. As long as under 80% of your spot volume is taker, WEEX still beats Bitget-with-BGB after rebates.
- Tokenized US stock perps: WEEX lists 418 and Bitget covers 177, but Bitget has more volume on all six leading names; MSTR trades about 21× more there than on WEEX.
- Switching: on WEEX, register again with a new phone or email; on Bitget, delete the account and wait 30 days, although users with Chinese KYC can ask support to lift the cooling-off period.
Rebate rates: WEEX starts above where Bitget tops out
Both use the same structure, a 20% automatic rebate plus an extra rebate from Quant Nova by tier; the difference is the size of the extra layer, 40%–50% on WEEX futures and 20%–30% on Bitget.
| When bound through Quant Nova | WEEX (nova888) | Bitget (NOVA888) |
|---|---|---|
| How it is settled | 20% automatic + futures 40%–50%, spot 20%–25% from Quant Nova by tier | 20% automatic + 20%–30% from Quant Nova by tier |
| Lv.1 total (no threshold) | Futures 60%, spot 40% | 40% |
| SVIP total (highest tier reachable by trading) | Futures 65% | 45% |
| Supernova total (invitation only) | Futures 70%, spot up to 45% | Futures 50%, spot 45% |
| Vs a common 20% code | Futures 3–3.5× | 2–2.5× |
Most KOL codes you can find online pay 20% or 25%. On the same fees, WEEX Lv.1's 60% is 3× a 20% code and 2.4× a 25% code, and its top 70% is 3.5× and 2.8×; Bitget Lv.1's 40% is 2× and 1.6×, and its top 50% is 2.5× and 2×. On 1,000 USDT of monthly futures fees:
| Channel | WEEX monthly rebate | Bitget monthly rebate |
|---|---|---|
| Common 20% code | 200 USDT | 200 USDT |
| Common 25% code | 250 USDT | 250 USDT |
| Quant Nova · Lv.1 (no threshold) | 600 USDT | 400 USDT |
| Quant Nova · SVIP | 650 USDT | 450 USDT |
| Quant Nova · Supernova (top) | 700 USDT | 500 USDT |
No threshold matters most for smaller accounts. Tiers are set by XP, which is simply the fees you paid over the last 30 days (1 USDT of fees = 1 XP). Traders with modest volume tend to sit at Lv.1 for a long time: that is 40% on Bitget, but 60% on WEEX from day one, more than the 50% Bitget pays at the very top. Even at Lv.1, the two are 3× and 2× a common 20% code.
XP is counted separately per exchange. Full tier tables are in the WEEX fee rebate guide and the Bitget fee rebate guide.
List fees: Bitget's futures taker fee is 25% cheaper
A rebate is a percentage of fees, so start with the baseline. These are the list prices for regular users (VIP 0):
| Item | WEEX | Bitget |
|---|---|---|
| Spot maker / taker | 0% / 0.10% | 0.10% / 0.10% |
| USDT-M futures maker | 0.02% | 0.02% |
| USDT-M futures taker | 0.08% | 0.06% |
| Platform token discount | The 50% futures discount for WXT holders was a limited-time promotion that has ended; current benefits follow official announcements | Paying spot and margin fees in BGB gives 0.08% (20% off); not for futures |
Fees verified on 2026-09-24 (each exchange's official fee schedule).
WEEX's 0.08% futures taker fee is the highest of the twelve and a third more than Bitget's 0.06%; put the other way, Bitget is 25% cheaper on paper. Futures maker is 0.02% on both. Spot favours WEEX: maker orders are free at every VIP level, as a standing policy rather than a promotion. Check the latest rates at the WEEX official fee page, the Bitget official fee FAQ and the Bitget BGB discount page.
Net futures cost: the rebate flips the order
There is one formula: net rate = list fee × (1 − rebate rate). Futures taker:
| Channel / tier | WEEX (taker 0.08%) | Bitget (taker 0.06%) |
|---|---|---|
| Common 20% code | 0.08% × 80% = 0.064% | 0.06% × 80% = 0.048% |
| Quant Nova · Lv.1 | 0.08% × 40% = 0.032% | 0.06% × 60% = 0.036% |
| Quant Nova · SVIP | 0.08% × 35% = 0.028% | 0.06% × 55% = 0.033% |
| Quant Nova · Supernova (top) | 0.08% × 30% = 0.024% | 0.06% × 50% = 0.03% |
The key is between the first and second rows: with a common 20% code Bitget is cheaper than WEEX, but once bound through Quant Nova WEEX is cheaper at every tier from Lv.1 up. WEEX's rebate is 20 percentage points higher, enough to cancel the 0.02% fee gap. Futures maker is 0.02% on both; after the rebate WEEX nets 0.008% at Lv.1, 0.007% at SVIP and 0.006% at the top, against 0.012%, 0.011% and 0.01% on Bitget, so WEEX is lower there too.
Even at the no-threshold Lv.1, WEEX's net futures taker rate of 0.032% is half of what WEEX costs with a common 20% code (0.064%).
Most people both take and make. At 70% taker and 30% maker, the blended rate is 0.062% on WEEX and 0.048% on Bitget; after the rebate that is 0.0248% vs 0.0288% at Lv.1 and 0.0186% vs 0.024% at the top tier. Flip it to 30% taker and 70% maker and the blended rates are 0.038% and 0.032%, or 0.0114% vs 0.016% after the top-tier rebate. Whatever the mix, WEEX comes out lower once bound through Quant Nova.
Now in money. Assume 500,000 USDT of monthly notional volume, all taker: WEEX fees are 500,000 × 0.08% = 400 USDT, Bitget 500,000 × 0.06% = 300 USDT.
| Channel / tier | WEEX monthly net cost | Bitget monthly net cost |
|---|---|---|
| Common 20% code | 400 × 80% = 320 USDT | 300 × 80% = 240 USDT |
| Quant Nova · Lv.1 | 400 × 40% = 160 USDT | 300 × 60% = 180 USDT |
| Quant Nova · SVIP | 400 × 35% = 140 USDT | 300 × 55% = 165 USDT |
| Quant Nova · Supernova (top) | 400 × 30% = 120 USDT | 300 × 50% = 150 USDT |
Tier for tier, WEEX costs 20–30 USDT less a month, about 360 USDT a year at the top tier (30 × 12). The gap against a common 20% code is bigger: on the same 500,000 USDT, binding WEEX through Quant Nova saves 160–200 USDT a month over a 20% code, and Bitget saves 60–90 USDT.

Spot: WEEX makers pay 0%, Bitget offers 20% off with BGB
The spot rebate is Lv.1 40% and up to 45% on both, or 2–2.25× a common 20% code. The difference is the list price: WEEX maker orders are free, while Bitget lets you pay fees in BGB for 0.08%. The rebate is calculated on what you actually pay after the discount:
| Spot | WEEX | Bitget (no BGB) | Bitget (with BGB) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maker · Lv.1 | 0% | 0.10% × 60% = 0.06% | 0.08% × 60% = 0.048% |
| Maker · top | 0% | 0.10% × 55% = 0.055% | 0.08% × 55% = 0.044% |
| Taker · Lv.1 | 0.10% × 60% = 0.06% | 0.10% × 60% = 0.06% | 0.08% × 60% = 0.048% |
| Taker · top | 0.10% × 55% = 0.055% | 0.10% × 55% = 0.055% | 0.08% × 55% = 0.044% |
If you only take liquidity and are happy to hold BGB, Bitget is cheaper; as soon as you place maker orders, WEEX pulls ahead. The break-even: with t as your taker share, WEEX at the top tier costs 0.055% × t and Bitget with BGB 0.044%, so they meet at t = 80%. In short, under 80% taker pick WEEX; over 80% taker and holding BGB pick Bitget. At Lv.1 the break-even is also 80% (0.06% × t vs 0.048%). Without BGB, WEEX is never the more expensive one.
On 100,000 USDT of monthly spot volume at the top tier: all taker, WEEX nets 55 USDT and Bitget with BGB 44 USDT; half and half, WEEX 27.5 USDT and Bitget with BGB still 44 USDT; all maker, WEEX costs nothing.
A platform token has to be bought and held; a rebate does not. The BGB discount only applies once you hold BGB, and you carry its price risk. WEEX's 0% maker fee and the Quant Nova rebate only need the right code at signup and a bound UID. On the same 100,000 USDT of spot, all taker, a common 20% code on WEEX refunds 20 USDT, while Quant Nova refunds 40–45 USDT, 2–2.25× as much.
Tokenized US stock perps: Bitget has the volume, WEEX the listings and lower fees
Both exchanges are in our tokenized stock perp study, and both charge their regular futures rates: WEEX 0.02% / 0.08%, Bitget 0.02% / 0.06%. WEEX lists 418 TradFi perps, the most of the six; against Binance's 198-contract benchmark set, WEEX covers 192 and Bitget 177. Measured 24-hour notional volume (USDT):
| Exchange | CL (crude oil) | MSTR | SPY | NVDA | TSLA | AAPL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WEEX | 1.36M | 1.93M | 2.31M | 40K | 20K | 40K |
| Bitget | 23.4M | 40.9M | 3.9M | 5.1M | 900K | 300K |
Data dates: Bitget 20 September 2026, WEEX re-measured on 21 September, from both exchanges' public APIs.
Bitget leads on all six: MSTR at 40.9M is about 21× WEEX and CL at 23.4M about 17×. The narrowest gap is SPY, 3.9M against 2.31M or about 1.7×, and WEEX's SPY volume ranks second of the six. On fees WEEX is cheaper: at 500,000 USDT a month, all taker and the top tier, WEEX charges 400 USDT, refunds 280 USDT and nets 120 USDT; Bitget charges 300 USDT, refunds 150 USDT and nets 150 USDT.
How to choose: for large orders in core names such as MSTR, CL or NVDA, Bitget's depth outweighs a 30 USDT monthly fee gap, because slippage is the real cost. For SPY, for names only WEEX lists, or for smaller orders, WEEX has the lower net cost. Either way, Quant Nova beats a common 20% code: on the same 500,000 USDT, WEEX returns 200 USDT more per month (400 × 50%) and Bitget 90 USDT more (300 × 30%).
Also note that funding on names such as MSTR and CL can be an order of magnitude larger than fees; see the tokenized US stock perp fee comparison.
Adding a code later and switching: a new phone or email on WEEX, 30 days on Bitget
Neither has a public way to add a code after signup, and a binding cannot be changed later. The "add a code within 7 days" rule you may see online is for Bitget Wallet, not the Bitget exchange. The difference is the cost of switching:
| Situation | WEEX (nova888) | Bitget (NOVA888) |
|---|---|---|
| Code format | Lowercase nova888 | Uppercase NOVA888 |
| Adding a code after signup | No public route | No public route |
| Main way to switch | Register again through the referral link with a phone number or email never used on WEEX | Delete the account, wait out the 30-day cooling-off period, then register again with the same email |
| Must you give up the old account? | No, you can keep it | Yes, it must be deleted; during the cooling-off period the same phone number, email and ID cannot register |
| Faster route | No wait to begin with; support can transfer your old KYC in the app | Users with Chinese KYC can ask support to lift the cooling-off period, or open a new account under a family member's identity |
WEEX: just use another phone number or email
Register again through the referral link with a phone number or email never used on WEEX, confirm lowercase nova888 is filled in, then bind the new UID on Quant Nova. WEEX does not require KYC (unverified accounts have a lower daily withdrawal limit, with the actual cap shown on WEEX's official pages); if the old account was verified, contact support from the new account (top right of the WEEX app) to transfer it. After switching, WEEX pays 60%–70% on futures, so 1,000 USDT of monthly fees returns 600–700 USDT, 400–500 USDT more than a common 20% code. Full steps are in the WEEX rebind guide.
Bitget: delete and wait 30 days, or take one of two faster routes
The first route is to delete the old account, wait out the 30-day cooling-off period, then register again with the same email through the referral link (see the Bitget account deletion rules). Chinese KYC is faster: after deleting, contact support with the new account's UID (using NOVA888) and the old account's UID, and the 30-day cooling-off period can be lifted within a working day. The fastest route is to open a brand-new account under a family member's identity through the referral link and bind NOVA888. After switching, Bitget pays 40%–50% in total, so the same 1,000 USDT of monthly fees returns 400–500 USDT, 2–2.5× a common 20% code. Full steps are in the Bitget rebind guide.
Which one should you pick?
- Mostly futures, modest volume → WEEX. 60% with no threshold; the Lv.1 net rate of 0.032% is already below Bitget's Lv.1 at 0.036%.
- Mostly futures, lowest possible net cost → WEEX. 0.024% vs 0.03% at the top tier, saving 30 USDT a month on 500,000 USDT all taker.
- Spot with a fair share of maker orders → WEEX. Maker is 0%, and under 80% taker it beats Bitget with BGB.
- Spot almost all taker, happy to hold BGB → Bitget. 0.044% vs WEEX's 0.055% at the top tier.
- Large orders in tokenized stocks such as MSTR, CL or NVDA → Bitget. Volume is 17× to over 100× WEEX's, and slippage matters more than fees.
- Chinese KYC with an existing Bitget account → staying on Bitget works well too: support can lift the cooling-off period so you can switch to NOVA888 within a working day, and there is a mirror signup link that works without a VPN.
For the full ranking of all twelve and every pairing, see the exchange fee rebate comparison.
Next step: new users can sign up for WEEX with referral code nova888 and sign up for Bitget with referral code NOVA888, then bind the UID on Quant Nova. If you already have an account, follow the WEEX rebind guide or the Bitget rebind guide. On 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, you get this much more per month than with a common 20% code: 400–500 USDT on WEEX and 200–300 USDT on Bitget. You can bind both and route each trade to the better venue.
Frequently asked questions
Which pays a higher rebate, WEEX or Bitget?
WEEX. Bound through Quant Nova, WEEX pays 60%–70% on futures and Bitget 40%–50%; WEEX's no-threshold Lv.1 of 60% is already above Bitget's top 50%. Spot is 40%–45% on both.
WEEX has higher fees than Bitget. Is it still cheaper after the rebate?
Yes. The futures taker list fee is 0.08% on WEEX and 0.06% on Bitget, but after the rebate it is 0.032% vs 0.036% at Lv.1 and 0.024% vs 0.03% at the top tier, so WEEX is lower at every tier.
With the BGB discount, is Bitget spot cheaper than WEEX?
Only if you trade almost entirely as a taker. Bitget with BGB at the top tier nets 0.044%, while WEEX nets 0.055% for takers and 0% for makers; under 80% taker, WEEX is cheaper. The BGB discount covers spot and margin only, not futures.
Should I trade tokenized US stocks on WEEX or Bitget?
It depends on order size. Bitget has more volume on all six leading names we measured, with MSTR about 21× WEEX; on fees alone, at 500,000 USDT a month all taker and the top tier, WEEX nets 120 USDT and Bitget 150 USDT.
My old Bitget account has no code. Do I have to wait 30 days?
Not necessarily. Deleting and waiting 30 days is the standard route; users with Chinese KYC can ask support to lift the cooling-off period within a working day, or you can open a new account under a family member's identity. On WEEX there is no wait: just use another phone number or email.
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, WEEX returns 600–700 USDT (3–3.5×) and Bitget 400–500 USDT (2–2.5×).
Are the WEEX and Bitget referral codes the same?
Same letters, different case. WEEX is lowercase nova888 and Bitget is uppercase NOVA888; a wrong code counts as no code and cannot be fixed after signup. You can bind both at once, with tiers and XP counted separately per exchange.
