Huobi VIP Upgrade - Lowest Fees Across the Entire Network

Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsRecently, Hoo.com has made sweeping adjustments to its trading fees.
On August 25, Hoo officially launched its upgraded VIP fee discount program. The standard spot trading fee for VIP users has been reduced to 0.01%, the lowest in the industry. At the highest tier, VIP 6, maker fees are completely waived—a benefit not yet offered by Huobi or Binance.
For futures contracts, the upgraded VIP structure simplifies fees: regardless of VIP level or whether the user is a maker or taker, the rate is uniformly set at 0.05%. This offers significantly lower costs compared to top-tier exchanges, especially for users with moderate trading volumes.
Public information shows that Hoo has eliminated the previous complex system of converting trading volume into points to determine VIP tiers. Instead, the new system calculates VIP levels directly based on average monthly trading volume. Moreover, VIP benefits are no longer strictly tied to trading volume. Users can qualify for VIP1 status simply by holding over $10,000 in assets on Hoo or owning more than 10,000 HOO tokens, entitling them to maker fees of 0.08% and taker fees of 0.1%.
Hoo has long been one of the most proactive exchanges in listing new assets, regularly offering users deposit or trading rewards worth tens of thousands of dollars with each new listing. This is particularly beneficial for users who don't trade frequently but are keen on participating in new project launches.

Another highlight of this VIP upgrade is the integration of platform token HOO into the benefits structure. To reach VIP1 through VIP4 levels, users can hold 10,000 HOO tokens for VIP1 privileges, or 500,000 HOO tokens for VIP4, which comes with spot trading fees of 0.05% (maker) and 0.07% (taker).
Currently, Huobi, OKX, and Binance all tie VIP benefits to their respective platform tokens to enhance token value. However, unlike these three major exchanges, holding HOO on Hoo is not mandatory for VIP1–VIP4 benefits. Users can qualify based on any one of the following: 30-day trading volume, HOO holdings, or total asset holdings (converted to USDT).
In linking VIP perks to its platform token, Hoo offers greater flexibility and friendliness, giving users more options. Overall, after this upgrade, Hoo’s fee discounts now surpass those of Binance, Huobi, and OKX.
Among the big three, Huobi differentiates between professional and regular users. Regular users face a maximum fee of 0.18%, while those holding over 500 HT tokens can enjoy a minimum rate of 0.07%—equivalent to a holding cost of approximately $70,000 based on current prices. Using HT to pay fees grants a 3.5% discount, bringing effective fees down to 0.0245%. For professional traders, the lowest rates are 0.0097% (maker) and 0.0193% (taker), requiring a 30-day trading volume of at least 15,000 BTC (about $7.5 billion) and holding at least 2,000 HT tokens (around $28,000).
OKX follows a similar model to Huobi, with separate rates for professional and regular users. Regular users can achieve a minimum fee of 0.07% (maker) and 0.09% (taker) by holding at least 1,000 OKB tokens (worth about $21,000). Professional users can get as low as -0.01% (maker rebate) and 0.03% (taker), provided their 30-day trading volume exceeds $1 billion.
Binance sets its base fee for regular users at 0.1%, matching Hoo. Its lowest VIP rates are 0.02% (maker) and 0.04% (taker). Paying fees with BNB provides a 25% discount, reducing these to 0.015% (maker) and 0.03% (taker). However, qualifying requires a 30-day trading volume of at least 150,000 BTC (approximately $7.5 billion) and ownership of at least 11,000 BNB tokens (valued at around $5.45 million)—the highest entry barrier among the major platforms.
In contrast, Hoo offers zero maker fees and a 0.02% taker fee at its lowest VIP tier. Qualification requires either a 30-day trading volume of at least $2 billion, holding 200,000 HOO tokens (currently valued at about $140,000), or total assets exceeding $200,000—users need only meet one of these conditions.
Overall, whether for regular or professional traders, Hoo's VIP qualification costs and fee discounts are significantly more favorable than those of the big three exchanges.
Hoo has launched a bold reform in its fee structure, slashing rates across the board while also offering aggressive incentives for new user acquisition. According to official announcements, under the new VIP system, referral commission rates increase with VIP level, reaching up to 40%. Rewards for inviting new users to trade have been greatly enhanced. Additionally, referrers can share their commission rewards with invited friends, with customizable sharing ratios of up to 20% of the earned commission—effectively encouraging existing users to bring in new ones.
Visiting Hoo’s official website reveals a comprehensive product lineup including spot trading, lending, wealth management, futures contracts, the Hoo Smart Chain (HSC), and the decentralized exchange HooSwap. Hoo’s product offerings now rival those of leading exchanges. It’s understandable that Hoo is shifting part of its focus toward user growth—after all, users are the core asset for any platform.
Moreover, one of Hoo’s key strengths lies in its ability to quickly identify and list high-potential projects. Only by attracting sufficient traffic can Hoo fully realize and maximize the value of this competitive advantage.
