Poloniex, the altcoin, and cryptocurrency exchange owned now by Circle, today implemented reduced trading fees for more than 99% of its users (based on historical volume data).
With this, the exchange also streamlined — from 11 to 3 — the exchange trading tiers. These changes make trading fees on Poloniex now among the lowest of U.S. exchanges. Poloniex also announced the launch of a newly designated market maker program.
New fees and trading-fee tiers:
Fees are charged and deduced on a per-trade basis. The more “total volume” users trade on a rolling 30-day basis, the lower the fee on subsequent trades. Poloniex will calculate fees based on user’s last 30 days of trading volume based on the daily average of the BTC-USD rate (24-hour weighted average price) and dynamically adjust the fees according to the following new schedule:
| Maker | Taker | Trade Volume (trailing 30-day avg) |
| 0.08% | 0.20% | < $1m USD |
| 0.02% | 0.15% | < $20m USD |
| 0.00% | 0.10% | ≥ $20m USD |
