Non-VIP spot rate. VIP levels, based on 30-day volume or balance, lower it. Fiat pairs have separate, higher rates.
What stands out
- A low 0.1% standard spot fee, falling quickly at VIP levels.
- VIP level can come from your balance as well as trading volume.
- After the 2025 hack, Bybit pursued recovery, including a US lawsuit against North Korea and the Lazarus Group.
What to weigh up
- The February 2025 theft of about US$1.5 billion in ETH, one of the largest crypto thefts on record.
- Not available to US residents, and UK accounts are being restricted from October 2026.
- Fiat currency pairs cost more than crypto pairs.
Fees: 0.1%, then VIP discounts
Non-VIP users pay 0.1% as both maker and taker on spot pairs. VIP 1 drops to 0.0675% maker and 0.08% taker, and higher tiers go lower. Your VIP level is set by either your asset balance or your 30-day trading volume, whichever qualifies you for the higher tier, and it's refreshed daily.
- Fiat-to-crypto pairs, such as USDT/EUR, have a separate schedule starting at 0.15% maker and 0.2% taker.
- The fee is taken in the coin you receive.

The February 2025 hack
On about 21 February 2025, roughly US$1.5 billion in ETH was stolen from a Bybit Ethereum multisig cold wallet. The FBI attributed the theft to North Korea's 'TraderTraitor' hackers, also known as the Lazarus Group. Preliminary investigations reported by Bybit pointed to malicious code on the Safe{Wallet} platform used to sign transactions, rather than Bybit's own systems.
- Bybit has since sued North Korea and the Lazarus Group in a US court and reports recovering or freezing part of the funds.
- Even a large exchange's cold wallet can be attacked through the tools around it, which is a good reason to keep long-term holdings in a wallet you control.
Nodora’s take
Bybit's fees are competitive, especially for active traders who reach VIP levels. The 2025 hack and its narrowing list of supported countries are the main things to weigh.
Check that Bybit serves your country, and keep only what you're actively trading on the exchange. We have not opened or funded an account as part of this review, and Nodora has no referral relationship with Bybit.
