Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does my VIP level update?
Your VIP status updates in real-time based on your 30-day trading volume or KCS holdings. Significant trades may trigger immediate level changes.
Can I qualify through combined spot and futures volume?
No, qualification criteria are separate. However, achieving any single requirement (KCS holdings, spot volume, or futures volume) will grant you the corresponding VIP level.
Are there additional benefits for holding KCS?
Yes, KCS holders receive additional fee discounts beyond standard VIP rates, making it advantageous to maintain KCS balances even after qualifying through trading volume.
How do withdrawal limits work for non-USDT assets?
Withdrawal limits apply to the USDT equivalent value of your withdrawals across all assets. The system automatically calculates conversions.
