Crypto Futures Trading Fees in India: Giottus Fee Structure Explained

Futures trading is one that rewards skill and understanding. At Giottus, we feel that such a financial opportunity should not be impeded by high fees. That is why Giottus is introducing the lowest crypto futures trading fees in India from January 9, 2026. Whether you are exploring futures for the first time or actively trading every day, this keeps your costs predictable and your profits intact.

Futures trading fees on Giottus are structured in tiers based on trading volume. This is a model commonly followed across major crypto exchanges. This means the more actively you trade, the lower your effective fees become. The structure is designed to reward consistent traders while still keeping entry-level costs low for newcomers. All fee tiers are simple, transparent, and applied automatically. So, you never have to manually switch plans or opt in to anything.

Unified Fee VIP Levels

To keep trading simple and rewarding, Giottus applies fee benefits uniformly across products, including Spot and Futures.

Your highest fee slab achieved on Giottus applies across both Spot and Futures trading, regardless of where that trading volume comes from. For example, if your Spot trading activity places you in a lower fee slab, but your Futures trading volume qualifies you for a higher slab, the higher slab fee will apply to both Spot and Futures trades.

In simple terms, you always trade at the most favorable fee tier you have earned on the platform, whether it is through Spot or Futures activity. This unified structure rewards active traders and ensures lower overall trading costs.

Common Types of Fees in Crypto Futures Trading

Most crypto exchanges follow a similar futures fee structure. Here is a simple explanation of the terms you will commonly see.

Trading Fees

Trading fees are charged when you open or close a futures position. These fees are usually calculated as a small percentage of your trade value.

There are two types of trading fees:

Maker Fee

This applies when you place an order that does not execute immediately and instead gets added to the order book. Maker orders help create liquidity in the market and usually attract lower fees.

Taker Fee

This applies when your order executes instantly by matching an existing order. Since it removes liquidity, taker fees are generally slightly higher.

Across the industry, crypto futures trading fees usually fall between 0.03 per cent and 0.05 per cent per trade. On Giottus, even at the highest trader tier, fees are significantly lower.

Funding Fees

Funding fees are periodic payments exchanged between traders who hold long and short positions. These fees help keep the futures price aligned with the spot market price.

Funding fees are not fixed charges set by the exchange. They depend on market conditions and are paid between traders at regular intervals.

Liquidation Fees

If a leveraged futures position moves too far against you, it can be automatically closed to prevent further losses. This process is called liquidation and may include a liquidation fee.

Liquidation fees act as a safeguard within the trading system and are only applicable in extreme scenarios.
