StandX fees & measured trading cost
StandX runs a live order book on-chain, so its advertised fee is only the opening bid — spread and depth decide the real price of a fill. FeeFloor measures StandX's futures market on BTC and ETH, currently $61.11 all-in for $100K BTC futures, 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
StandX's rank moves with trade size: #28 of 49 at $1M, but #36 at $10K. Fees are flat — depth is not.
At $100K, StandX runs 27% above the median venue we track (6.11 bps vs 4.81 bps).
Only 4.00 bps of the 6.11 bps total at $100K is the advertised fee — the rest is spread and slippage the fee page never mentions.
At $10M the book genuinely runs out — the venue can't fill that size within 2% of mid, so treat it as a smaller-order venue.
Patient traders do better here: resting maker orders pay 1.00 bps in fees against the 4.00 bps taker rate — $30.00 back on every $100K filled passively.
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.

StandX: quick answers
What does a $100K BTC trade actually cost on StandX?
As of 2 August 2026, a $100K BTC futures market order on StandX costs $61.11 all-in (6.11 bps): 4.00 bps fee, 1.58 bps spread and 0.53 bps slippage. That ranks #36 of 49 venues we measure.
Is StandX better for small or large orders?
Right now, large orders: StandX ranks #36 at $10K and #34 at $10M. Fees are flat percentages, but slippage grows with size, so the answer shifts with the venue's live order-book depth.
Does StandX have hidden costs beyond the trading fee?
Yes — every order-book venue does. On top of the 4.00 bps list fee you pay the live spread (1.58 bps right now) and slippage that grows with order size (0.53 bps at $100K). Neither appears on the fee page, which is exactly why we measure them.
