How is the Fee Structure being Overhauled?
Many of you told us that spreads and execution were unpredictable or difficult to understand, and that our fee structure was confusing. We've completely reimagined how fees work on Ostium:
- True Market Spreads: We now offer top-of-book bid/ask pricing directly from the underlying market – no markup and no reliance on on-chain DEX liquidity. This means you actually get underlying market execution while staying on-chain.
- Industry-Leading Fees: As low as 2bps total to open and close positions on FX pairs, making Ostium the most cost-effective platform for sophisticated traders.
- Optimized Funding: Dramatically lower funding/rollover fees based on volatility, often just 3-5% on FX pairs compared to industry standards.
