WEEX and XT.COM are two of the few exchanges among our twelve that pay 60% from day one and up to 70%. Compared with the common KOL referral codes that pay only 20% or 25%, binding through Quant Nova gets you 60%–70% back on futures at both exchanges, and the top rate is 3.5× a typical 20% code. In money terms, on 1,000 USDT of monthly fees a typical 20% code returns 200 USDT, while WEEX or XT.COM through Quant Nova returns 600–700 USDT. Because the rebate ladders are identical (futures 60%→70%, spot 40%→45%), the cheaper exchange is decided purely by list fees: for futures taker orders XT.COM's 0.06% beats WEEX's 0.08%, and at the top tier the net rates are 0.018% vs 0.024%. For futures maker orders and spot it flips: WEEX's futures maker fee of 0.02% is half of XT.COM's, and its spot maker fee is 0%, while XT.COM charges 0.2% on spot. In one line: futures traders who mostly take liquidity should pick XT.COM; those who mostly place limit orders or trade spot should pick WEEX. Below we work through every number, then finish with a verdict by scenario.
Quick verdict
- 3–3.5× what common codes pay: bound through Quant Nova, WEEX and XT.COM both pay 60%–70% on futures, 3–3.5× a typical 20% code and 2.4–2.8× a 25% code; spot is 40%–45% on both.
- On 1,000 USDT of monthly fees, a typical 20% code returns 200 USDT; through Quant Nova, WEEX and XT.COM both return 600–700 USDT, or 400–500 USDT more every month.
- Futures taker: XT.COM 0.06%, WEEX 0.08%; net at the top tier XT.COM 0.018%, WEEX 0.024%.
- Futures maker: WEEX 0.02%, XT.COM 0.04%; net at the top tier WEEX 0.006%, XT.COM 0.012%. If more than half your volume is taker, pick XT.COM; if less, pick WEEX.
- Spot: WEEX maker 0% / taker 0.10%, XT.COM 0.20% / 0.20%; for spot-first traders WEEX is the obvious choice.
- Different codes: WEEX uses lowercase nova888, XT.COM uppercase NOVA888. Neither offers a way to add a code after signup; existing users switch by registering again with a new phone number or email.
Why compare these two: identical rebate ladders
Both exchanges use the same structure: a 20% automatic rebate plus an extra rebate from Quant Nova by tier, and the extra layer is the same size on both. That is rare among the twelve, so the question we hear most is: "both pay 70%, so which one?"
| When bound through Quant Nova | WEEX (nova888) | XT.COM (NOVA888) |
|---|---|---|
| How it is settled | 20% automatic + futures 40%–50%, spot 20%–25% from Quant Nova by tier | 20% automatic + futures 40%–50%, spot 20%–25% from Quant Nova by tier |
| Lv.1 total (no threshold) | Futures 60%, spot 40% | Futures 60%, spot 40% |
| SVIP total (highest tier reachable by trading) | Futures 65% | Futures 65% |
| Supernova total (invitation only) | Futures 70%, spot up to 45% | Futures 70%, spot up to 45% |
| Top tier vs a common 20% code | Futures 3.5×, spot 2.25× | Futures 3.5×, spot 2.25× |
Most KOL codes you can find online pay 20% or 25%. On the same fees, Lv.1's 60% is 3× a 20% code and 2.4× a 25% code; SVIP's 65% is 3.25× and 2.6×; the top 70% is 3.5× and 2.8×. On 1,000 USDT of monthly futures fees:
| Channel | WEEX monthly rebate | XT.COM monthly rebate |
|---|---|---|
| Common 20% code | 200 USDT | 200 USDT |
| Common 25% code | 250 USDT | 250 USDT |
| Quant Nova · Lv.1 (no threshold) | 600 USDT | 600 USDT |
| Quant Nova · SVIP | 650 USDT | 650 USDT |
| Quant Nova · Supernova (top) | 700 USDT | 700 USDT |
Same rebate, so the gap is all in list fees. A 70% rebate returns 70% of what you actually paid: the exchange with the higher list fee charges more and refunds more, but your net cost is still higher there. So the only question left is which exchange leaves you paying less for the same trade. Either way, the no-threshold 60% is already 3× a common 20% code.
Tiers are set by 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 are in the WEEX fee rebate guide and the XT.COM fee rebate guide.
List fees: one is cheaper for takers, the other for makers
A rebate is a percentage of fees, so start with the baseline. These are the list prices for regular users (VIP 0):
| Item | WEEX | XT.COM |
|---|---|---|
| Spot maker | 0% | 0.20% |
| Spot taker | 0.10% | 0.20% |
| USDT-M futures maker | 0.02% | 0.04% |
| USDT-M futures taker | 0.08% | 0.06% |
Fees verified on 2026-09-24 (each exchange's official fee schedule).
XT.COM's futures taker fee of 0.06% is 25% lower than WEEX's 0.08%, but its futures maker fee of 0.04% is twice WEEX's 0.02%, and its 0.2% spot fee ties with HTX as the highest of the twelve. WEEX's 0.08% futures taker fee is the highest of the twelve; WEEX once ran a limited-time promotion giving 50% off futures fees to holders of enough WXT (about 100,000 WXT, now ended), and current holder benefits follow its official announcements. Check the latest rates at the WEEX official fee page and the XT.COM official fee page.
Net futures cost: XT.COM wins on taker, WEEX on maker
There is one formula: net rate = list fee × (1 − rebate rate). Because both pay the same rebate, at any given tier the gap in net rates equals the gap in list fees. Futures taker:
| Channel / tier | WEEX (taker 0.08%) | XT.COM (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% × 40% = 0.024% |
| Quant Nova · SVIP | 0.08% × 35% = 0.028% | 0.06% × 35% = 0.021% |
| Quant Nova · Supernova (top) | 0.08% × 30% = 0.024% | 0.06% × 30% = 0.018% |
Futures maker goes the other way:
| Tier | WEEX (maker 0.02%) | XT.COM (maker 0.04%) |
|---|---|---|
| Quant Nova · Lv.1 | 0.02% × 40% = 0.008% | 0.04% × 40% = 0.016% |
| Quant Nova · SVIP | 0.02% × 35% = 0.007% | 0.04% × 35% = 0.014% |
| Quant Nova · Supernova (top) | 0.02% × 30% = 0.006% | 0.04% × 30% = 0.012% |
The break-even point: 50% taker
Most people both take and make. With t as your taker share, the blended rate is WEEX = 0.02% + 0.06% × t and XT.COM = 0.04% + 0.02% × t. At exactly 50% taker both come to 0.05%; above half XT.COM is cheaper, below half WEEX is cheaper. Since the rebate is the same, the break-even stays at 50% on every tier. After the top-tier rebate:
| Taker / maker mix | WEEX blended → after rebate | XT.COM blended → after rebate |
|---|---|---|
| 70% taker, 30% maker | 0.062% → 0.0186% | 0.054% → 0.0162% |
| 50 / 50 | 0.05% → 0.015% | 0.05% → 0.015% |
| 30% taker, 70% maker | 0.038% → 0.0114% | 0.046% → 0.0138% |
Now in money. Assume 500,000 USDT of monthly notional volume, all taker: WEEX fees are 500,000 × 0.08% = 400 USDT, XT.COM 500,000 × 0.06% = 300 USDT.
| Channel / tier | WEEX monthly net cost | XT.COM monthly net cost |
|---|---|---|
| Common 20% code | 400 × 80% = 320 USDT | 300 × 80% = 240 USDT |
| Quant Nova · Lv.1 | 400 × 40% = 160 USDT | 300 × 40% = 120 USDT |
| Quant Nova · SVIP | 400 × 35% = 140 USDT | 300 × 35% = 105 USDT |
| Quant Nova · Supernova (top) | 400 × 30% = 120 USDT | 300 × 30% = 90 USDT |
Tier for tier, the two differ by 30–40 USDT a month. Against a common 20% code the gap is much bigger: on the same 500,000 USDT all taker, binding XT.COM through Quant Nova at the top tier saves 150 USDT a month (240 − 90), and WEEX saves 200 USDT (320 − 120).
Look at it the other way: even on WEEX, the pricier exchange for takers, the top Quant Nova tier costs 120 USDT, half of XT.COM with a common 20% code (240 USDT); the no-threshold Lv.1 at 160 USDT is still lower too. Picking the right code matters more than picking the right exchange. For more on the maths, see effective perpetual fees after rebates and maker and taker fees explained.
Spot: WEEX makers pay 0%, XT.COM charges 0.2% both ways
The spot rebate is Lv.1 40% and up to 45% on both, or 2–2.25× a common 20% code. But list prices differ a lot, so the net rates look like this:
| Spot | WEEX | XT.COM |
|---|---|---|
| Maker · Lv.1 | 0% (no fee to begin with) | 0.20% × 60% = 0.12% |
| Maker · top | 0% | 0.20% × 55% = 0.11% |
| Taker · Lv.1 | 0.10% × 60% = 0.06% | 0.20% × 60% = 0.12% |
| Taker · top | 0.10% × 55% = 0.055% | 0.20% × 55% = 0.11% |
On 100,000 USDT of monthly spot volume, all taker, at the top tier, WEEX costs 100,000 × 0.055% = 55 USDT net and XT.COM 100,000 × 0.11% = 110 USDT; all maker, WEEX costs nothing and XT.COM still 110 USDT. On the same 100,000 USDT all taker, a common 20% code on WEEX refunds just 20 USDT, while Quant Nova refunds 40–45 USDT, 2–2.25× as much.
Spot goes to WEEX; for futures, check your taker share. Even with a 45% rebate, XT.COM spot nets out at 0.11%, above WEEX's 0.10% taker fee with no rebate at all. The only spot case for XT.COM is long-tail coins: it lists more than 1,000 spot pairs, and when a token trades only there, fees are not the first concern.
Tokenized US stock perps: measured on WEEX, not yet on XT.COM
Our tokenized stock perp study covers six exchanges; WEEX is included and XT.COM is not. WEEX lists 418 TradFi perps, the most of the six, and covers 192 of Binance's 198-contract benchmark set (96%). Fees are the regular futures rates, 0.02% / 0.08%. Measured 24-hour notional volume (USDT), with Binance as the reference:
| Exchange | CL (crude oil) | MSTR | SPY | NVDA | TSLA | AAPL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WEEX | 1.36M | 1.93M | 2.31M | 40K | 20K | 40K |
| Binance (reference) | 320M | 124M | 23.2M | 18M | 7.5M | 5.1M |
Data dates: WEEX re-measured on 21 September 2026, Binance on 20 September, from public APIs.
WEEX's 2.31M in SPY is the second highest of the six; other names trade thinly, so check depth before placing a large order. On fees, at 500,000 USDT a month all taker and the top tier, WEEX charges 400 USDT, refunds 280 USDT and nets 120 USDT, lower than Binance's 150 USDT net (0.05% list fee, 40% top rebate). We have not measured XT.COM's tokenized stocks, so no figures are given here. Funding on names such as MSTR and CL can be an order of magnitude larger than fees; see tokenized US stock perp fee comparison.
Signup, KYC and switching: a new phone or email on both
Neither exchange has a public way to add a code after signup, and a binding cannot be changed later. The good news is that switching is cheap on both: no account deletion and no cooling-off period.
| Situation | WEEX (nova888) | XT.COM (NOVA888) |
|---|---|---|
| Code format | Lowercase nova888 | Uppercase NOVA888 |
| Adding a code after signup | No public route | No public route |
| How to switch | Register again through the referral link with a phone number or email never used on WEEX | Register again through the referral link with a phone number or email never used on XT.COM |
| KYC | Not mandatory; unverified accounts have a lower daily withdrawal limit, with the actual cap shown on WEEX's official pages | Not mandatory; fiat and P2P require KYC, and the withdrawal cap for unverified accounts is shown on the official product page |
| Old account already verified | Contact in-app support from the new account to transfer your KYC | Complete KYC on the new account when you need higher limits |
WEEX: new phone or email, and KYC can be transferred
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, so the new account can trade unverified; if the old account was verified, contact support from the new account (top right of the WEEX app) to move it across. 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.
XT.COM: new phone or email, no KYC needed
Register again through the referral link with a phone number or email never used on XT.COM, confirm NOVA888 is filled in, then bind the new UID. XT.COM does not require KYC (fiat and P2P do; see the XT.COM official guide). The old account can still withdraw, so just move your assets over; withdrawal limits apply per account per day, so spread a large move over a few days. After switching, XT.COM also pays 60%–70% on futures, so the same 1,000 USDT of fees returns 600–700 USDT, 3–3.5× a common 20% code. Full steps are in the XT.COM rebind guide.
Which one should you pick?
- Futures, mostly market orders (over half taker) → XT.COM. Taker 0.06% vs 0.08%; top-tier net 0.018% vs 0.024%.
- Futures, mostly limit orders → WEEX. Maker 0.02% is half of XT.COM's; top-tier net 0.006% vs 0.012%.
- Spot → WEEX. Maker 0%, taker 0.10%, against 0.20% both ways on XT.COM.
- Tokenized US stocks → WEEX. 418 listings, measured by us, with the second-highest SPY volume of the six; XT.COM has not been measured.
- Long-tail spot coins → XT.COM. More than 1,000 spot pairs; when a token trades only there, fees come second.
- You do all of the above → bind both. Route each trade to the better venue, see all rebates in one dashboard, with tiers counted separately.
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 XT.COM with referral code NOVA888, then bind the UID on Quant Nova. If you already have an account, follow the WEEX rebind guide or the XT.COM rebind guide with a new phone or email. On 1,000 USDT of monthly futures fees, either exchange returns 400–500 USDT more per month than a common 20% code, or 4,800–6,000 USDT a year.
Frequently asked questions
Which pays a higher rebate, WEEX or XT.COM?
Neither; they are the same. Bound through Quant Nova, both pay Lv.1 60%, SVIP 65% and up to 70% on futures, and 40%–45% on spot. The top 70% is 3.5× a common 20% code.
Which has lower fees, WEEX or XT.COM?
It depends on your taker share. XT.COM is cheaper for futures takers (0.06% vs 0.08%, top-tier net 0.018% vs 0.024%) and WEEX for futures makers (0.02% vs 0.04%). Over half taker, pick XT.COM; under half, pick WEEX.
Should I trade spot on WEEX or XT.COM?
WEEX. Its spot maker fee is 0% and taker 0.10%, against 0.20% both ways on XT.COM. After the top rebate, taker nets out at 0.055% on WEEX and 0.11% on XT.COM, and maker stays at 0 on WEEX.
Do WEEX and XT.COM require KYC?
Neither makes it mandatory. Unverified WEEX accounts have a lower daily withdrawal limit, with the cap shown on WEEX's official pages; on XT.COM, fiat and P2P require KYC, and the cap for unverified accounts is shown on the official product page.
I already have a WEEX or XT.COM account. Can I still bind to Quant Nova?
Yes. Neither lets you add a code later, but switching is simple: register again through the referral link with a phone number or email never used on that exchange, then bind the new UID. On WEEX, support can also transfer your old KYC.
How much more do I get through Quant Nova than with a common KOL code?
On 1,000 USDT of monthly futures fees, a common 20% code returns 200 USDT; through Quant Nova, WEEX and XT.COM both return 600–700 USDT, 3–3.5× as much and 400–500 USDT more each month.
Are the WEEX and XT.COM referral codes the same?
No. WEEX is lowercase nova888 and XT.COM is uppercase NOVA888; a wrong code counts as no code, so use the referral link to be safe. You can bind both at once, with tiers and XP counted separately.
