Некоторые ведущие платформы прогнозных рынков корректируют тарифы: в краткосрочных рынках криптовалют вводятся динамические комиссии, поставщики ликвидности получают выгоду

【BlockBeats】Recently, a leading prediction trading platform updated its official documentation, adding taker fees for the 15-minute cryptocurrency price prediction market. This represents a significant shift from its long-standing “zero-fee” tradition.

How exactly are the fees charged? Simply put — takers pay fees, but this money doesn’t go into the platform’s pocket. Instead, it’s returned daily to market makers and liquidity providers in the form of USDC. In essence, fees are being used as an incentive for liquidity provision. It’s important to note that this adjustment only applies to the 15-minute crypto market, while most other markets maintain zero fees.

As for how the fee rate is calculated, here’s what’s interesting — it’s not fixed, but rather fluctuates with market probability. Fees are highest when prices are near 50%, and decrease as they move closer to 0% or 100%, eventually approaching zero. According to the platform’s example, for 100 contracts settled at $0.50, the fee is approximately $1.56, accounting for around 3% of the transaction amount (this is at the highest fee rate).

The platform has not issued a formal announcement, only quietly added these terms to its documentation. Community feedback has been positive overall, with most viewing this not as disguised fees, but rather as a measure to combat high-frequency bots and wash trading by optimizing market structure to enhance liquidity quality and tighten spreads. Additionally, the platform has clarified that long-term event markets, political predictions, and non-crypto markets remain unaffected, so the impact on regular users is actually quite limited.
