Bybit fees & measured trading cost
Exchange fee pages quote one number; the order book charges three. FeeFloor measures Bybit's spot and futures markets on BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP — fee plus the spread and slippage the fee page never mentions, so a $100K BTC futures market order currently costs $44.08 all-in. The full measured breakdown is below, ranked against every venue we track. We count only what a market order pays to execute — funding, withdrawals and gas are measured separately.

What our measurements show
Bybit's rank moves with trade size: #8 of 49 at $1M, but #22 at $10K. Fees are flat — depth is not.
At $100K, Bybit executes 8% cheaper than the median venue we track (4.41 bps vs 4.81 bps).
The cost here is fee-dominated: 4.40 bps of the 4.41 bps total at $100K is the venue's own fee, over a book tight enough that spread and slippage barely register.
At $10M, slippage alone reaches 3.83 bps — size this venue accordingly.
Spot execution at $100K runs 8.10 bps all-in (#7 of 21 spot venues) — more expensive than the same trade on its futures book right now.
Patient traders do better here: resting maker orders pay 2.00 bps in fees against the 5.50 bps taker rate — $35.00 back on every $100K filled passively.
Signing up through our link takes 20% off the fee component — the discount is applied in every number above, and the struck-through figures show list price.
Where Bybit fits
Bybit built its name on perpetual futures before it operated a full spot exchange, and that order of operations still shapes how the platform is used: traders reach for it first for derivatives, second for spot. FeeFloor measures both markets independently here, so that heritage is testable rather than assumed.
If Bybit's futures book is the more mature product, its measured spread and slippage on the futures side above should be the tighter of the two. Whether that holds is a question the numbers answer, not the exchange's own history. The spot breakdown lower on this page is the direct comparison, size for size.
Cost by trade size
Fees are flat, but spread and slippage scale with size — so a venue that wins at $10K can be mid-pack at $10M. BTC futures, taker.

Bybit: quick answers
What does a $100K BTC trade actually cost on Bybit?
As of 3 August 2026, a $100K BTC futures market order on Bybit costs $44.08 all-in (4.41 bps): 4.40 bps fee, 0.01 bps spread and 0.00 bps slippage. That ranks #18 of 49 venues we measure.
Is Bybit better for small or large orders?
Right now, large orders: Bybit ranks #22 at $10K and #9 at $10M. Fees are flat percentages, but slippage grows with size, so the answer shifts with the venue's live order-book depth.
Does Bybit have hidden costs beyond the trading fee?
Yes — every order-book venue does. On top of the 5.50 bps list fee you pay the live spread (0.01 bps right now) and slippage that grows with order size (0.00 bps at $100K). Neither appears on the fee page, which is exactly why we measure them.

How FeeFloor measures Bybit
FeeFloor measures Bybit on its spot and futures markets for BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP, pricing from the live order book.
The fee component is Bybit’s published standard-tier (VIP0) taker rate; spread and slippage are walked live from its order book at four trade sizes. FeeFloor measures execution cost only — funding, withdrawals, fiat conversion and borrowing are not included.
Regulatory assessment is outside FeeFloor’s scope: we measure execution cost, not whether Bybitis legally available to a given user. Legal-entity and regulatory data are not independently verified by us — see Sources & verification below.
