Compare ETH perpetual trading fees

These are crypto perpetual swaps that track spot ETH — not CME’s dated Ether futures or any monthly-settled contract. ETH perps trade on almost every venue, but the all-in cost of a position varies more than the headline fee suggests: books are shallower on some venues than their BTC pairs, so slippage bites sooner. FeeFloor measures the fee, half-spread and live order-book slippage for a $100,000 ETH perpetual order and ranks every venue by the total.

As of 18 July 2026, the cheapest crypto exchange for a $100K ETH futures trade is Lighter at $8.50 all-in.· measured 06:49 UTC

Common questions

Does ETH perpetual funding affect the cost shown on this page?

No. Funding is an ongoing payment between longs and shorts that changes continuously, not a one-time cost of execution. This page measures only the fee, spread and slippage of opening an ETH perpetual position with a market order; funding is a separate cost to track alongside it.

Why does ETH's spread vary more between venues than BTC's?

ETH order books tend to be shallower than BTC books on most venues, which generally leaves them more sensitive to how much a market-maker is willing to post at any given moment. FeeFloor samples the live book at measurement time, so the spread shown reflects that venue's ETH liquidity right now, not a historical average.

Is ETH perpetual trading more expensive than ETH spot trading?

Not necessarily — perp and spot fee schedules are set independently by each venue, and either can be cheaper. Compare this page against the spot exchange-fees page for the same venue to see which ETH market costs less at your trade size.

How are ETH perpetual DEXs priced on this page?

We track both kinds. Order-book perp DEXs are measured on fee, live spread and simulated slippage like a CEX; oracle-priced perp DEXs fill from an external price feed instead of a book, so their slippage is zero by construction — your order size doesn't move an oracle-quoted price.

Does trade size affect ETH perp cost the same way it does for BTC?

The mechanism is identical — slippage grows as an order consumes more of the book — but it can show up at a smaller size on ETH, since several venues carry less ETH depth than BTC depth. Change the size control to see where each venue's ETH book starts to widen.

The full measurement method — including what we deliberately do not measure — is on the methodology page.
