WazirX has announced the launch of WazirX Futures, introducing crypto derivatives trading for Indian users with one of the industry’s most competitive fee structures. The platform offers a maker fee of 0.02% and a taker fee of 0.04%, without requiring users to meet any trading volume thresholds.
The launch also simplifies access to Futures trading by allowing users to trade directly with INR, removing the need to first convert funds into USDT — a step that has traditionally added friction for retail traders in India.
“Futures trading in India has typically favored large-volume traders with better pricing structures. With WazirX Futures, we are making professional-grade trading more accessible by offering low fees from day one, regardless of trading size. Our focus is to build a robust and user-friendly Futures platform for Indian traders,” said Nischal Shetty, Founder, WazirX.
To encourage responsible participation, users are required to complete a mandatory knowledge quiz covering leverage, margin and liquidation concepts before accessing Futures trading. The company is also investing in educational initiatives aimed at helping users better understand derivatives trading and associated risks.
WazirX said the Futures business will also contribute to its ongoing restructuring efforts, with profits directed toward additional recoveries for eligible Recovery Token holders, beyond the 85% fund distribution already completed. The rollout of WazirX Futures will take place in phases, with expansion aligned to liquidity, risk controls and user readiness.
