What the XT.com bonus is made of
XT.com headlines up to $8,888: $8,888 trading rewards + 40% commission share. A figure that size — the 4th-largest dollar ceiling on this list — tops a deposit ladder rather than a flat gift, and on XT.com the entry rungs pay tens or low hundreds of dollars unless the account is funded heavily. The part that lasts is a 40% rebate on trading fees — exactly the 40% median here — for as long as XT.com runs the programme.
XT.com trading fees before the rebate
| Fee | Rate | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Spot | 0.20% | Standard tier, before your 40% rebate |
| Futures maker | 0.02% | Standard tier |
| Futures taker | 0.06% | Standard tier |

Where XT.com lands on our list
XT.com sits 10th of 11: Weex — Up to 30,000 USDT, Up to 60% rebate is the entry above it, BTSE — Welcome bonus + 30% rebate, 30% rebate the one below. Its $8,888 headline is beaten by 3 of the other 8 dollar-quoted ceilings and beats 5. XT.com lists 5 product lines (Spot, Futures, Margin, Copy Trading, Earn) of the 19 we track; Gate.io lists 7. Founded in 2018, run from Seychelles and listing 996 assets (counted from its own instruments API on 2026-09-17), XT.com requires KYC before any welcome credit is paid. Security record (36 months to 2026-09-17): Roughly $1.7 million moved out of an XT.com platform wallet on 28 November 2024, picked up on-chain by PeckShield. XT said publicly users would not be affected and that its reserves run at 1.5x user assets — that figure is XT's, and nobody has audited it. Source ↗
XT.com beside the other 10
8 of the other 10 undercut XT.com's 0.20% spot rate; the median is 0.10%. Futures takers pay 0.06% on XT.com, tied 8th of 11 (with 2 others), over the 0.055% median.

How to claim your XT.com welcome bonus
- Open XT.com through the Claim button; code 5TR4RR travels inside the link.
- Confirm your email and complete KYC — XT.com requires it before welcome credit is paid.
- Fund XT.com with at least $1. Up to $8,888 is the top rung; XT.com's promotion page lists the rungs below it.
- Place a first trade, knowing the 0.20% entry-tier spot fee is above the median here; futures takers pay 0.06% before the rebate.
Is the XT.com bonus actually worth the signup?
On XT.com, $1,000 of futures taker volume returns about $0.24 through the 40% rebate — a first $10 back needs roughly $42,000 of volume. 4 of the other 10 rebate more, 5 less, 1 the same. Up to $8,888 is a ladder ceiling, and our own caveat for XT.com — "Higher base fees vs. top tier" — is the rung to plan around, not the headline.
