bitgetUEX, the world’s largest universal exchange, has unveiled an updated market maker incentive program, introducing a group maker fee structure for all spot and futures trading pairs. This update aims to deepen order book liquidity, improve trade execution quality, and create a more flexible incentive system for professional market makers operating on the platform. The new structure will take effect on March 4, 2026, between 14:00 PM and 19:00 PM (UTC+8).
As part of the updated program, Bitget is implementing a trading pair grouping model, dividing markets into Group A, Group B, and Group C, with maker rates determined based on market maker levels—from MM1 to MM5.
Group A includes key major pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT), Group B includes mid-tier pairs with active trading (e.g., HYPE/USDT), and Group C includes other or newly added pairs. Depending on the group and tier, maker rebates on spot range from -0,012% (MM1) to 0,000% (MM5), and on futures, from -0,008% (MM1) to 0,000% (MM5). This structure allows for incentives to be tailored to different market segments, encouraging deeper participation. liquidity and stable quotations on both the spot and futures markets.
In addition to the new rebate structure, Bitget has improved its market maker performance assessment system. Maker trading volume will now be calculated using group weightings: higher weightings are assigned to emerging or less liquid markets to incentivize the provision of liquidity where it is most needed. The assessment also includes bid-ask spread requirements and aggregate order volume thresholds, allowing for a more accurate measurement of liquidity quality in various market conditions.
With a more structured maker fee system and a consistent valuation methodology, Bitget continues to advance institutional liquidity standards within the UEX ecosystem. According to the report Bitget Transparency Report 2025Institutional participants became the key growth driver, accounting for 82% of spot trading volume and 60% of futures trading volume. This underscores the institutional clients’ strong dependence on Bitget’s liquidity and execution infrastructure and confirms the importance of the updated incentive system, scalable to professional trading activity.
