Coincheck to introduce 10-tier fee schedule for spot trading on October 19
- —Fees are based on 30-day volume or AUM, whichever yields the lower rate
- —Regular users: 0.1000% Maker, 0.1200% Taker
- —VIP9 (over ¥10B volume or ¥1B AUM): 0% Maker, 0.0025% Taker
- —BTC/JPY stays commission-free but counts toward tier calculation
Why it matters: Coincheck raises costs for small traders while courting high-volume clients, a shift that could reshape its competitive position in Japan's spot market.
