[Important] Update to TradFi volume calculation for VIP tiers

To better align VIP tier requirements with the structure of different products, we're updating how TradFi trading volume is counted toward VIP qualification. This update applies to TradFi products offered as CFDs (contracts for difference).

What's changing

Currently, TradFi trading volume is converted using a single ratio when calculating VIP tier eligibility.

Starting Apr 22, asset-specific conversion ratios will be introduced, adjusting how trading volume from different asset classes contributes to VIP tier qualification.

Why the change

Bybit TradFi operates under a distinct fee structure, with significantly lower fees than other markets. Two fee modes are currently available:

• Zero-Fee mode: All costs are built into the spread, with no commissions (fees).

• Tight-Spread mode: A per-lot commission applies and varies by asset class (e.g., around $6 per $1M for gold and $16.5 for oil).

For more details, refer to [TradFi: Fees Explained](https://www.bybit.com/en/help-center/article/TradFi-Fees-Explained).

As our TradFi offering continues to expand, a single conversion ratio no longer fully reflects these differences. This update ensures VIP tier calculations remain balanced and comparable across products while helping to maintain a competitive fee structure and support the long-term sustainability of our services.

Transition period

Since VIP tiers are based on a rolling 30-day volume, a 30-day transition period will apply.

During this period:

• Trades before the update follow the previous calculation.

• Trades after the update follow the new calculation.

General formula:

• 30-day volume = (Old volume × (30 − N)) + (New volume × N)

• N = Number of days since the update

In simple terms, your 30-day volume is the sum of your daily trading volume, with each day calculated under either the old or new rules depending on when it occurred.

Example

Assume a user trades $10M daily ($5M in gold and $5M in indices), and the new rules have been in effect for 10 days:

• First 20 days (old rules):

($10,000,000 ÷ 10) × 20 = $20,000,000

• Last 10 days (new rules):

($5,000,000 ÷ 60 + $5,000,000 ÷ 15) × 10 = $4,166,666.67

• Total 30-day volume:

$20,000,000 + $4,166,666.67 = $24,166,666.67

Important notes

• This update only affects VIP tier calculations and does not impact your fees, assets, order execution, or P&L.

• You can track your VIP progress anytime on the VIP Me page.

• You can switch between Zero-Fee and Tight-Spread modes based on your strategy.
