ROAD TOWN, Tortola, British Virgin Islands – 17 December, 2025 – Bitfinex (https://www.bitfinex.com/), the state-of-the-art cryptocurrency exchange, has announced a significant change to its fee structure for trading activity conducted on its platforms. Effective immediately, all trading of crypto spot and margin trading pairs, perpetual derivatives contracts, spot securities pairs, and OTC trading will operate on a zero-fee basis for both market makers and takers.
Bitfinex has been consistently profitable for many years, supported by a diversified business model and an exceptionally efficient technology stack. The exchange has operated with disciplined financial management since its inception, which has allowed it to implement a zero fee structure without compromising performance, liquidity or product innovation. The decision reflects long term strategy rather than short term promotional activity and underscores the strength and sustainability of Bitfinex’s operations.
With zero trading fees, Bitfinex is setting a new standard for major crypto trading platforms and for promoting financial freedom and inclusion. This initiative boosts market liquidity, lowers barriers to crypto trading, and ultimately opens up the crypto market for new customers. The exchange also cements itself as one of the most cost-effective platforms for accessing and trading Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and tokenised securities.
“We see a significant opportunity to incentivise our existing customers and attract potential new customers to the platform. Thanks to the long-standing profitability of Bitfinex and the resilience of our technology stack, we are pleased that we can make this strategic change, and recognise the significant impact it has on the rest of the industry,” said Paolo Ardoino, Chief Technology Officer, Bitfinex.
Launched in 2012, Bitfinex is one of the longest-running crypto platforms, and offers more than 250 spot pairs and more than 60 perpetual derivatives contracts. The platform also offers tokenised securities trading through Bitfinex Securities. Due to its deep liquidity, broad product suite, and advanced technology, the exchange consistently ranks among the top tier of centralised exchanges by trading volume.
