BloFin Review 2026: Real Fees, the Fine Print, and Who Gets Paid

This BloFin review is built from BloFin's own fee schedule, help centre and contracts, read on 13 October 2026 — not from the affiliate pages that fill page one. Every number below has a source you can open yourself, and where BloFin contradicts itself, both versions are quoted rather than one being picked.

The single most useful thing we found is structural. BloFin's published verification table shows that your KYC level changes nothing about what you are allowed to trade — futures access and maximum leverage are listed as "No limit" at every tier — and changes everything about what you are allowed to take out, which starts at 20,000 USDT per 24 hours. Verification gates the exit, not the risk. If you want the same automation without an exchange balance in the middle, our Solana copy trading bot guide covers the non-custodial route.

BloFin is a real, functioning derivatives exchange with unusually detailed copy trading controls and an unusually permissive on-ramp. It is not a scam in the "takes the money and disappears" sense: it publishes a Merkle-tree proof of reserves, uses Fireblocks for custody, and documents its products in more depth than most of its rivals. The honest objections are about price, recourse and incentives — and all three are written down in BloFin's own documents.

Factor	What BloFin's own documents say (13 Oct 2026)
Futures fees	0.0200% maker / 0.0600% taker at the Regular tier
Copy trading profit share	10% by default, "currently this percentage is up to 20%"
Lead trader bar	200 USDT balance for leaderboard visibility; application takes "≈3 minutes"
Unverified account	Unlimited futures and leverage; 20,000 USDT per 24h withdrawal ceiling
Restricted locations	44 named in the Terms of Use, including the US, Canada, India, China and Singapore
Dispute route	Three-arbitrator HKIAC arbitration seated in Hong Kong
Custody	Custodial — BloFin holds the assets, Fireblocks is the custody layer

Read as a whole, BloFin is a reasonable venue for an experienced perps trader who understands that the headline taker fee is charged on notional and therefore scales with leverage. It is a poor fit for a beginner who arrives through a bonus offer, and the reason is arithmetic rather than opinion, as the cost table below sets out.

This article was first published on 16 June 2026, and several of its claims were either wrong at the time or have since been overtaken. Correcting them in public is cheaper than leaving them to rank.

• We said there was "no on-chain proof that your specific balance is backed." That was wrong. BloFin publishes a Merkle-tree 1:1 proof of reserves and links it from its own machine-readable site summary. The fair criticism is narrower and we verified it ourselves: the proof-of-reserves page returns a login prompt to a logged-out visitor, so the transparency artefact is not public the way the marketing implies.
• We said BloFin copy trading was "perpetual futures, not spot." Also wrong. BloFin's spot copy trading guides are dated January 2026, so spot copying already existed when we published, and coin-margined copy trading was added on 6 July 2026.
• We said BloFin "advertises ultra-low futures fees." It does not, and the published number is not low. The Regular-tier taker fee is 0.0600%, which sits at the expensive end of the major venues rather than the cheap end.
• We wrote that funding sits "in the rough range of 10–18% annualized." That was an estimate with no source behind it and it has been removed. Funding rates move constantly and per-contract; read the rate on the contract you are about to copy.
• We described "limited API availability and CSV-only export." BloFin publishes REST and WebSocket APIs and ships an Apache-2.0 licensed Model Context Protocol server on npm, first published in February 2026. Whatever else is true, the API surface is not thin.

Three changes are dated after our original publication and are worth noting on their own: BloFin's Terms of Use were revised on 3 July 2026, coin-margined copy trading launched on 6 July 2026, and a new leaderboard eligibility rule was announced on 24 July 2026 with effect from 31 July.

BloFin is a centralized crypto derivatives exchange whose signature product is copy trading. In its own machine-readable summary for language models, BloFin describes itself as offering "530+ crypto futures pairs and 430+ spot pairs with up to 150x leverage," and says it is "Secured by Fireblocks with 1:1 Proof of Reserves."

Structurally it is a custodial venue. Deposits move to BloFin-controlled wallets and you trade internal balances, which is the same arrangement as Binance copy trading, Bybit copy trading, Bitget copy trading and the venue in our KuCoin review. The counterparty question is not unique to BloFin, but it is real: the Terms of Use state plainly that "BloFin is not your broker, intermediary, agent, or advisor and has no fiduciary relation or obligation to you in connection with any trades."

Where BloFin genuinely does more than its rivals is the copy trading control surface — three copy modes, a forced-synchronisation feature, spot and coin-margined copying, and per-trader minimum investments. Those controls are the reason to consider it, and they are covered in detail below.

BloFin's futures fee schedule, read on 13 October 2026, starts at 0.0200% maker and 0.0600% taker for Regular users. Here is the full published tier table. VIP levels update daily at 01:00 UTC, and the asset snapshot is taken at 00:00 UTC.

Tier	Maker	Taker	30d futures volume	or Assets
Regular	0.0200%	0.0600%	< 10,000,000 USDT	< 50,000 USDT
VIP 1	0.0060%	0.0500%	≥ 10,000,000	≥ 50,000
VIP 2	0.0040%	0.0450%	≥ 25,000,000	≥ 500,000
VIP 3	0.0020%	0.0425%	≥ 50,000,000	≥ 1,000,000
VIP 4	0.0010%	0.0400%	≥ 200,000,000 (non-API ≥ 160,000,000)	≥ 2,000,000
VIP 5	0.0000%	0.0350%	≥ 500,000,000 (non-API ≥ 400,000,000)	≥ 3,000,000

Two details in that table are worth more than the headline rate.

First, the asset route into VIP 1 is genuinely cheap. Holding 50,000 USDT on the platform gets you the VIP 1 rate without trading a single contract, which cuts the taker fee from 0.0600% to 0.0500% and the maker fee from 0.0200% to 0.0060%. For a funded trader who posts limit orders, that is a meaningful discount reached by parking capital rather than churning it.

Second, API traders are explicitly charged more volume for the same tier. At VIP 4 and VIP 5, the futures thresholds carry a parenthetical: 200,000,000 USDT for API trading against 160,000,000 for non-API, and 500,000,000 against 400,000,000. That is a flat 25% volume surcharge on anyone routing through the API to reach the same discount. The spot thresholds carry the identical 25% gap. If you are running an automated strategy — the same category of user as a copy trading bot operator — you are paying for the privilege in volume terms.

One more line in the fee page is easy to miss: the daily asset snapshot that sets your VIP level covers the Funding and Trading accounts "with Futures Bonus and Vouchers excluded." Bonus credit does not count toward your tier.

The taker fee is charged on notional, and copy trading is leveraged, so the fee as a share of your own money is the headline rate multiplied by leverage — twice, because you pay on the way in and on the way out. This is the arithmetic that affiliate reviews skip, and it is the single most important thing to understand before allocating to a lead trader.

At the Regular tier, a round trip costs 2 × 0.0600% = 0.1200% of notional. Against a 1,000 USDT copy allocation, that works out as follows.

Leverage	Notional on 1,000 USDT	Round-trip taker fee	As % of your stake
1x	1,000	1.20 USDT	0.12%
5x	5,000	6.00 USDT	0.60%
10x	10,000	12.00 USDT	1.20%
20x	20,000	24.00 USDT	2.40%
50x	50,000	60.00 USDT	6.00%
150x	150,000	180.00 USDT	18.00%

At BloFin's advertised maximum of 150x, a single open-and-close cycle costs 18% of your stake in taker fees alone, before funding and before the lead trader's profit share. The trade has to move 0.1200% in your favour on notional just to break even on fees. That number falls to 0.1000% at VIP 1 and 0.0700% at VIP 5, so the people paying the most per trade are precisely the small accounts that copy trading is marketed to.

The profit share then applies to whatever survives. BloFin's rules state that 10% is deducted from net realized profit, so your take on a winning trade is roughly 90% of gross profit minus round-trip fees — and on a losing trade you pay the fees with no offset. This is the same decomposition we ran on perp wrappers in our Hyperliquid copy trading analysis, and the conclusion is the same: the fee that scales with leverage dominates the fee that gets advertised.

BloFin copy trading now covers USDT-margined futures, coin-margined futures and spot, with three copy modes and a per-trader minimum the lead trader sets. Coin-margined copying was added on 6 July 2026; the spot product has been documented since January 2026.

The modes, from BloFin's own help centre:

• Fixed Amount. You commit a specific margin amount per copied order, regardless of how large the lead trader's own position is.
• Fixed Ratio. Your size scales with theirs via a multiplier, computed as "multiplier × trader's order value ÷ your futures leverage." A 1x multiplier copies one-for-one, 0.5x halves it.
• Smart Copy. The mode that BloFin's SyncMaster feature attaches to, and the only one where a lead trader can impose settings on you.

BloFin states that a copier may follow up to 10 lead traders simultaneously, and that a lead trader may carry a maximum of 200 followers.

Two mechanics deserve more attention than they get. The first is SyncMaster, also called Forced Sync. When a lead trader enables it, in BloFin's words, "copiers can no longer modify the aforementioned Copy Trading parameters" and "all controlled settings will be locked and followers must use the trader's exact configuration" — margin mode, leverage and take-profit/stop-loss included. With Forced Sync off, the trader's settings are "only serve as recommended parameters." Lead traders can also set a minimum investment anywhere from 100 to 100,000 USDT.

That matters beyond user experience. When a copier cannot set their own leverage or stop-loss, they have surrendered the last decision that distinguishes "following a signal" from handing over discretion — which is the exact line regulators draw around this activity. We walk through how that test works, and the enforcement actions behind it, in is copy trading legal.

The second is the spot copy trading lock-up. BloFin's copier guide states that once you transfer assets into the dedicated Spot Copy Trading Account, "these assets cannot be withdrawn, transferred out, or used for any other trading activities for the duration of the copy trading session." That is a real constraint on capital, documented by the vendor and mentioned by nobody ranking for this keyword.

BloFin also publishes the four reasons a copy trade silently fails to execute: insufficient balance in the copy trading account, an unfilled limit order from the lead trader, a platform-wide token exposure cap being hit, and your own order falling below the minimum trade size. Any of the four leaves you out of a trade your leaderboard is telling you that you took.

BloFin takes its 10% cut of your daily profit in advance and reconciles it weekly, refunding the excess. This is documented in BloFin's own profit-sharing rules and it is the least-reported mechanic in the product.

The rule, verbatim: "The system calculates the net profit or loss of the copy trading users daily and offsets the profit and loss amounts within the settlement period. 10% of the daily earned profit is deducted in advance. On the settlement day, if the actual profit-sharing amount is lower than the deducted profit from the copy trading user's orders, the excess amount will be refunded."

The settlement period runs Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59:59 UTC, with the lead trader credited at 03:00 UTC on Monday. BloFin's own worked example shows the consequence clearly: a copier called Ann has 50 USDT deducted across the week, the week nets out at 150 USDT of profit, the lead trader is owed 15 USDT, and 35 USDT is returned to Ann at settlement.

In other words, on a volatile week where winning days are offset by losing days, 10% of every winning day is withheld from you until the following Monday even though the final bill is far smaller. It comes back. It is not a fee. But it is your capital sitting in BloFin's system rather than in your position, and if you are sizing an allocation precisely you should know the money is not where the dashboard implies. Settlement also only occurs "after the Lead Trader has fully closed all positions for a specific trade," so a trader who holds a position open indefinitely holds the reconciliation open with it.

The published bar for appearing on BloFin's copy trading leaderboard is a 200 USDT balance. On 24 July 2026 BloFin announced that from 31 July, "traders must maintain an MBB of at least 200 USDT to appear on the Top ROI Leaderboard and All Traders ROI rankings." That is the entire published eligibility requirement for leaderboard visibility.

Becoming a lead trader at all is lighter still. BloFin's step-by-step guide describes the application as taking "≈3 minutes": visit the application page, "click Apply, fill in the required information, and submit," transfer assets into the copy trade account, and place an order. There is no published win rate floor, no minimum trade count, and no required track record length.

The contract says otherwise, which is the interesting part. Clause 3.2 of BloFin's Terms of Use for Lead Copy-Traders states that "BloFin will review your application based on internal policies, including performance thresholds (e.g., minimum assets under management, win rate, or historical returns)." Those thresholds are never published anywhere on the site. So the contract asserts a quality filter exists, the help centre describes a three-minute form, and the only number a prospective copier can actually check is 200 USDT.

For comparison, our BingX review found that venue publishing concrete lead-trader entry requirements — a minimum trade count, a win-rate floor and a capital minimum. Publishing the bar, even a low one, is better than asserting an unpublished one.

The same contract is unusually candid about how leaderboard metrics get gamed. Among the prohibited activities it lists "intentionally manipulating performance indicators (e.g., holding profitable positions to boost win rates without realization)," and separately defines malicious "winning rate" behaviour as a win rate "maintained at a high level for a long time" where "the real trading strength does not match the winning rate." BloFin is describing, in its own rulebook, exactly how the number at the top of its leaderboard can be faked: close the winners, leave the losers open. Treat any displayed win rate accordingly, and apply the vetting checklist from our copy trading risks breakdown before allocating.

Two further clauses shape your recourse. Clause 5.2 states that being a lead trader "does not constitute a contractual relationship between a Lead Trader and BloFin as neither employees, partners, intermediaries, contractors," and that BloFin "does not assume any liability, responsibility, loss, and damages" arising from a lead trader's behaviour. Clause 7.2 reserves BloFin's right to suspend any trader or strategy, in which case "any open trades entered into as a result of Lead Copy-Trader Terms or arising therefrom will be closed" — your copied position can be closed by the platform rather than by the market.

One drafting detail is worth flagging because it speaks to how carefully this document was prepared: the Lead Copy-Trader Terms refer three separate times to "Launchpad Terms" and the "Launchpad Service," including in the clause where you consent to BloFin "using your Digital Assets as described in these Launchpad Terms." The copy trading contract appears to have been adapted from a token-sale agreement without the find-and-replace being finished.

BloFin's reputation is built on a light signup, and that reputation is accurate — but the published verification table shows exactly what the light signup does and does not buy you.

KYC level	24h withdrawal limit	Futures trading	Max leverage
Basic (Lv 0) — the default	20,000 USDT	No limit	No limit
Personal Information (Lv 1)	1,000,000 USDT	No limit	No limit
Address Proof (Lv 2)	2,000,000 USDT	No limit	No limit

That table is the whole story of BloFin's onboarding philosophy in three rows. An entirely unverified account can trade unlimited size at up to 150x leverage. The only thing verification changes is how fast you can get money out. Every risk the platform can expose you to is available on day one with an email address; the capability that is rationed is the exit.

Raising the ceiling means a full identity check: one of four document types (ID card, passport, residence permit or driver's licence), a facial-verification selfie, and for Level 2 a proof of address. BloFin says submissions are "usually reviewed within 24 hours by the system automatically." So the privacy benefit is genuine but conditional — it holds right up until the moment you want to withdraw more than 20,000 USDT in a day, and the verification happens then, when the funds are already inside.

The Terms of Use are also clear that you have an ongoing obligation here: you agree "on an on-going basis to provide BloFin with any authentic identification information," and BloFin retains the data for five years after an account is closed. If avoiding identity verification is the reason you are choosing BloFin, that is a timing preference rather than an exemption. The structurally different answer is not a lighter exchange but no exchange account at all, which is what copy trading on Solana from your own wallet does.

BloFin's Terms of Use, revised 3 July 2026, name 44 Restricted Locations — far more than the "US only" framing most reviews give. The list mixes comprehensively sanctioned states with ordinary regulatory exclusions, and the second group is the surprising one.

Alongside the expected entries sit the United States, Canada, India, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and Trinidad and Tobago. Those are not sanctions cases; they are markets where BloFin has chosen not to operate. India and China between them are a large fraction of global retail crypto interest.

The drafting is loose in ways worth noticing. Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk each appear twice — once individually and once inside "Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine (currently including Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions)" — and Serbia is spelled "Servia." The list also closes with "such other jurisdictions as designated by BloFin from time to time, in its sole discretion," so it can grow without notice.

If you are in a restricted location, routing around the block breaches the Terms and puts your balance at risk of being frozen at exactly the moment you try to withdraw it. A wallet-based, non-custodial venue has no geographic gate to breach in the first place, which is a large part of why traders in these jurisdictions end up on-chain. Our roundup of the best copy trading platforms for crypto compares the options on that axis.

BloFin is a genuine exchange with real security infrastructure, and the honest risks are about recourse rather than existence. Fireblocks custody and a Merkle-tree 1:1 proof of reserves are both more than many mid-size venues offer, and we were wrong to imply in the previous version that no reserve attestation existed.

The caveat we can verify is narrow but real: the proof-of-reserves page returns a login prompt to a logged-out visitor. A reserve attestation that requires an account to inspect is weaker than one anybody can audit, because the people who most need it — prospective users deciding whether to deposit — are exactly the ones who cannot see it.

The recourse picture is where a prospective copier should spend their attention. Disputes go to arbitration "administered by the HKIAC under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules," seated in Hong Kong, with three arbitrators: one appointed by BloFin, one by you, and a third by the HKIAC chairman. The Terms further provide that BloFin "shall not be required to give general discovery of documents." A three-arbitrator international arbitration is a serious, expensive proceeding; set that against a copy trading product whose minimum ticket is 100 USDT and the practical route to recovering a disputed balance is narrow. The Terms name no home regulator and no supervising authority.

Layer the disclaimers and the picture is consistent. BloFin "is not your broker, intermediary, agent, or advisor and has no fiduciary relation or obligation to you." Lead traders are explicitly not BloFin's "employees, partners, intermediaries, contractors," and BloFin disclaims liability for their behaviour. Nobody in the chain owes a copier a duty of care. That is not unusual for an offshore venue — it is the standard arrangement — but it should be priced in rather than discovered later.

BloFin pays up to 50% of your trading fees, for life, to whoever referred you. This is the context in which every review ranking for this keyword — including this one — should be read, so here are the published numbers.

BloFin runs two programs. The plain referral program advertises a flat 30% commission rebate: "Get 30% of your friends' trading fees." The affiliate program, which is mutually exclusive with it, pays more:

Level	Commission	Duration	Required per 3-month cycle
Referral (default)	30%	Ongoing	None
Affiliate Lvl 1	40%	Lifetime	1,000,000 USDT volume, 10 traders
Affiliate Lvl 2	45%	Lifetime	5,000,000 USDT volume, 50 traders
Affiliate Lvl 3	50%	Lifetime	10,000,000 USDT volume, 100 traders

Put that next to the cost table above and it resolves into a concrete number. A 1,000 USDT copy allocation at 10x generates 12.00 USDT of round-trip taker fees; between 3.60 and 6.00 USDT of that goes to whoever's link you clicked, and it keeps going to them for as long as your account exists. Affiliates may also pass 0% to 20% back to their invitees, which is where "exclusive signup bonus" offers come from — a share of the commission your trading generates, returned to you as an incentive to trade more.

BloFin contradicts itself on settlement cadence, so both versions are here: one help page says "commissions are settled every 6 hours in USDT," and the same page later says they "are settled hourly starting at 00:00:00 UTC." Check your own affiliate dashboard rather than trusting either. The affiliate terms also reserve BloFin's right to calculate commissions "in its absolute sole discretion."

None of this makes affiliate-funded reviews automatically wrong. It does explain why so many of them lead with the bonus and the leverage ceiling, and why almost none of them multiply the taker fee by the leverage. We have an interest here too — we build a Solana copy trading product — which is why this review quotes BloFin's documents rather than our impressions of them.

High advertised leverage and a welcome bonus are volume-generation mechanisms, and the fee table above shows exactly how. At 100x, roughly a 1% adverse move liquidates the position before fees are counted. At 150x it is under 0.7%.

The fee arithmetic compounds the problem rather than being separate from it. A trader at 150x pays 18% of their stake per round trip; a trader at 5x pays 0.60%. The same strategy, copied at two different leverage settings, has a thirtyfold difference in frictional cost — and the copier often does not choose that setting, because a lead trader running SyncMaster with Forced Sync enabled locks it.

Bonus credit has its own catch, documented on the fee page: the daily asset snapshot that determines your VIP tier excludes "Futures Bonus and Vouchers." Bonus balance can be traded but does not count toward the discount that would make trading it cheaper.

If the goal is compounding capital rather than generating volume, the leverage dial is the variable to turn down first. That is the structural case for spot copy trading, which we make in detail in Solana trading bot vs manual trading and is copy trading profitable.

The point of this table is the structural fork, not a score: custodial leveraged perps on one side, non-custodial spot copy trading on the other.

Factor	BloFin	Binance	Bybit	uwuu
Custody	Custodial	Custodial	Custodial	Non-custodial
Copy product	Futures, coin-M and spot	Spot + futures	Futures	Solana spot
Headline trading fee	0.0600% taker, charged on notional	Tiered, charged on notional	Tiered, charged on notional	Performance-based — paid only on profit
Liquidation risk	High (up to 150x)	High on futures	High	None (spot)
Leaderboard verifiability	Platform-reported	Platform-reported	Platform-reported	On-chain, publicly auditable
Geographic access	44 restricted locations	Restricted	Restricted	Wallet-based, no geo-gate
Withdrawal ceiling	Set by KYC level, from 20,000 USDT/24h	Set by KYC level	Set by KYC level	None — funds stay in your wallet

For a leveraged on-chain alternative rather than a CeFi one, our Hyperliquid review covers the non-custodial perp DEX side, and OKX copy trading and 3Commas alternatives round out the CeFi field.

BloFin suits an experienced perps trader outside the 44 restricted locations who understands that fees scale with leverage, keeps balances small relative to the 20,000 USDT daily withdrawal ceiling, and treats leaderboard statistics as marketing rather than audit. For that user, the copy controls are genuinely good: Fixed Ratio sizing, per-trader minimums and coin-margined support are more than most rivals ship.

It is a poor fit if any of the following apply:

• You are starting out. The fee structure is worst for small, high-leverage accounts, which is exactly the profile a bonus offer attracts. Our copy trading for beginners guide explains why spot is the right place to learn.
• You are in a restricted location. That now includes the US, Canada, India, China, Singapore and the UAE. Workarounds surface at withdrawal time.
• You want custody of your assets. A proof of reserves is an attestation, not possession, and this one requires a login to read.
• You want recourse. Three-arbitrator HKIAC arbitration is not a realistic path for a four-figure dispute.
• You want to verify the traders you copy. BloFin's own contract describes how its leaderboard metrics can be manipulated.

If what you want from BloFin is the copy trading, you can have the automation without the custody, the withdrawal ceiling or the liquidation price by copying traders on-chain. You connect your own wallet, pick a trader from a verified on-chain leaderboard, and mirror their spot trades in real time.

The differences that actually change the arithmetic:

• Non-custodial. Funds stay in your wallet. There is no exchange balance to cap, freeze or attest to, and no KYC level deciding how much you may remove per day.
• Spot, not leveraged. No liquidation price, and no fee multiplier — the thing that turns 0.0600% into 18% is leverage, and there is none.
• Verifiable performance. The leaderboard is on-chain, so a win rate cannot be held up by leaving losing positions open; the positions are public.
• Performance-based fees. You pay only when you profit — there is no charge on a losing trade and no fee on notional.
• Fast execution and simple setup. Trades mirror with sub-400ms execution, with one-click setup and smart trade filtering, and you start by connecting a wallet rather than completing an identity check.

The underlying behaviour is the same — follow a better trader and let it run — without the parts of BloFin that make this review cautious. To go deeper, our explainer on the Jupiter aggregator covers the routing layer behind Solana swaps, what is crypto copy trading sets out the mechanics, and the best Solana trading bot guide walks through the full setup.

Is BloFin legit?

Yes, in the sense that matters least and no in the sense that matters most. BloFin is a real exchange with Fireblocks custody and a Merkle-tree proof of reserves. But it names no home regulator, sends disputes to three-arbitrator HKIAC arbitration in Hong Kong, and states in its Terms that it is "not your broker, intermediary, agent, or advisor" and owes you no fiduciary duty. Treat it as a venue to trade on, not a place to hold savings.

What are BloFin's fees?

Futures start at 0.0200% maker and 0.0600% taker at the Regular tier, falling to 0.0000% / 0.0350% at VIP 5. Because the fee is charged on notional, a leveraged round trip costs 0.1200% of notional at the Regular tier — 1.20% of your stake at 10x and 18% at 150x. Copy traders also pay the lead trader 10% of net profit, with a stated maximum of 20%.

Does BloFin require KYC?

Not to trade. BloFin's published table shows futures access and maximum leverage as "No limit" at the default Basic (Lv 0) level. Verification only raises your 24-hour withdrawal ceiling, from 20,000 USDT at Basic to 1,000,000 USDT after personal information verification and 2,000,000 USDT after address verification. Verification gates the exit rather than the risk.

Is BloFin available in the US?

No. The United States is one of 44 Restricted Locations named in BloFin's Terms of Use as revised on 3 July 2026. The list also includes Canada, India, China, Singapore, the UAE and Trinidad and Tobago, and reserves BloFin's right to add jurisdictions "in its sole discretion." Accessing the platform from a restricted location breaches the Terms and risks your balance being frozen.

Who can become a BloFin lead trader?

Almost anyone. BloFin's own guide describes the application as taking about three minutes, and the only published numeric requirement is a 200 USDT minimum balance to appear on the ROI leaderboards, effective 31 July 2026. The lead trader contract asserts that unpublished "performance thresholds" are applied, but no win rate, trade count or track-record minimum appears anywhere on the site.

How much does BloFin copy trading cost?

Standard trading fees on both the open and the close, plus 10% of net realized profit to the lead trader. The profit share is deducted daily in advance and reconciled weekly — the settlement period runs Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59:59 UTC, with any over-deduction refunded on Monday. Spot copy trading also locks your allocated assets, which "cannot be withdrawn, transferred out, or used for any other trading activities for the duration of the copy trading session."
