Ouinex, the user-driven multi-asset exchange, is permanently eliminating commissions on all its traditional finance (TradFi) derivatives products. Unlike platforms that layer fees on top of inflated spreads, Ouinex’s revenue comes entirely from a portion of the spread itself, meaning the platform only benefits when traders receive tight, competitive pricing.
This initiative challenges the prevailing “retail slaughterhouse” model found in many crypto-native perpetual exchanges, where high fees and structural asymmetries often disadvantage individual traders.
Ouinex departs from extractive exchange revenue models
Retail traders on crypto perpetual futures platforms often face significantly higher effective costs than those on dedicated TradFi infrastructure, a disparity exacerbated by CLOB asymmetry, where high-frequency trading firms with superior latency have a structural edge over retail participants..
Ouinex’s model addresses this at the structural level: by sourcing deep liquidity from TradFi institutional partners, the platform streams ultra-tight spreads with zero commission on top — a feat impossible on platforms relying on synthetic or fragmented liquidity.
Samuel Rondot, Head of Trading and Strategy of Ouinex, said:
“Unlike most crypto exchanges, Ouinex connects traders to the same institutional liquidity infrastructure that has powered global financial markets for decades. By aggregating multiple top-tier liquidity providers, we deliver deeper liquidity, tighter spreads, and zero trading commissions. Our revenue comes from a small spread markup, yet even after this markup, the all-in cost of trading on Ouinex remains far lower than trading comparable perpetual contracts on leading centralized and decentralized exchanges, while offering significantly deeper liquidity at the top of the book.”
Ilies Larbi, CEO of Ouinex, said:
“This isn’t a marketing stunt or some limited-time offer designed to capture short-term volume. We are permanently removing commission fees on our TradFi instruments. This is a structural decision intended to align our incentives with the long-term success of our retail user base. We believe the era of extracting value from retail traders through hidden fees and inflated spreads is over for good. At Ouinex, we are building a sustainable ecosystem where fairness drives adoption.”
The launch of zero fees reflects Ouinex’s broader commitment to transparency, providing access to deep institutional-grade liquidity, while removing the friction that has historically plagued retail users in Web3. With this new benchmark for retail trading infrastructure, Ouinex bridges crypto and traditional markets, in one place, on one platform.
