Tiered Volume Discounts

Tiered volume discounts are fee structures where an exchange reduces trading costs as a user’s monthly volume increases. This incentivizes high-frequency traders and institutional participants to consolidate their activity on a single platform.

For arbitrageurs, these discounts can be the difference between a profitable and an unprofitable strategy. By achieving a higher tier, an arbitrageur can lower their cost basis and capture opportunities that would be otherwise unviable.

This structure creates a barrier to entry for smaller traders and encourages a "winner-takes-most" dynamic in exchange liquidity. It is a critical component of institutional cost management.

Tracking progress toward these tiers is essential for long-term strategic planning.
