Bitget Introduces Group-Based Maker Rates to Strengthen Spot and Futures Liquidity
Press release
Victoria, Seychelles, March 4, 2026
—
Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has rolled out an upgraded Market Maker Incentive Program that introduces a group-based maker rate structure across all spot and futures trading pairs. The update is designed to deepen order-book liquidity, improve execution quality, and provide a more tailored incentive framework for professional market makers operating on the platform. The updated structure will take effect on March 4, 2026, between 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM (UTC+8).
Under the updated program, Bitget will adopt a pair-grouping model across all trading pairs, categorizing markets into Group A, Group B, and Group C, with maker rates determined by market maker tiers from MM1 to MM5. Group A consists of core mainstream pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT), Group B includes mid-tier, actively traded pairs (e.g., HYPE/USDT), and Group C comprises other or newly listed pairs. Depending on groups and tiers, maker rebates range from −0.012% (MM1) to 0.000% (MM5) for spot, and from −0.008% (MM1) to 0.000% (MM5) for futures. The structure is intended to tailor incentives by market segment, encouraging deeper liquidity and more consistent quoting across both spot and futures markets.
In addition to the new rebate structure, Bitget has refined the evaluation framework for assessing market maker performance. Maker trading volume will now be calculated using group-weighted metrics, with higher weights assigned to emerging or less liquid markets to incentivize liquidity provision where it is most needed. Market-making scores will also incorporate bid-ask spread requirements and cumulative order volume thresholds, allowing the program to more accurately measure liquidity quality across different market environments.
With a more structured maker-rate framework and aligned assessment methodology, Bitget continues to advance institutional-grade liquidity standards within the broader UEX framework. As noted in the
Bitget Transparency Report 2025, institutional participation emerged as a key growth driver, accounting for 82% of spot trading volume and 60% of futures volume. This highlights sustained institutional reliance on Bitget’s liquidity and execution infrastructure, and reinforces the importance of the latest incentive designs that scale with professional trading activity.
