Taker Fee Reduction

Definition

Taker fee reduction refers to a decrease in the fees paid by market “takers” on a trading platform, which are participants who execute orders that immediately fill existing orders in the order book. These fees are typically higher than “maker” fees, which reward those who provide liquidity. Reducing taker fees aims to encourage more aggressive trading activity, potentially increasing market liquidity and transaction volume. It makes immediate execution of trades more cost-effective for users.
