Bullish does not charge fees for opening an account. All fees are associated with transactions.
Trade fees and interest charges
Different fees may apply depending on whether your order immediately matches against an existing order (is a “taker”), is matched later (is a “maker”), or some combination of both. We only charge on the filled amount. We do not charge if your order is unfilled.
Buyers pay their fees in the same currency that they paid in (e.g. USD for BTC/USD) and sellers in the currency they sold (e.g. BTC for BTC/USD).

Maker fees
Maker fees are charged on the amount filled when your limit order is matched later with a subsequent taker order.
We do not charge maker fees for any of our markets.
Taker fees
Taker fees are charged on the amount filled when you send a market order or when you send a limit order that immediately matches against another market participant’s previously sent limit order.
Stablecoin markets such as USDC/USD do not incur a taker fee.
Automated Market Making Instructions
No fees are charged to submit or terminate AMM Instructions.
AMM fees
As detailed in Generating Income With Automated Market Making Instructions, on every fill made by a taker against an AMM Instruction, Bullish collects earnings consisting of the taker fees paid against one or more AMM Instructions and the spread income generated by those AMM Instructions.
Bullish’s AMM fee is 25%, meaning that it retains 25% of Gross AMM Income.
Deposit and withdrawal fees
Bullish does not charge for wire transfers. However, for a fiat transfer, our fiat currency sub-custodian Silvergate Bank charges a deposit fee and a withdrawal fee, as detailed below.
