Fees

Traders who purchase Bibox’s very own Bibox Token can use it to pay discounted fees on the Bibox trading exchange, something that provides an incentive for traders to buy and hold the Bibox Token.

When users select “Use BIX for fees,” the trading fees will be discounted. If the option is not selected, Bibox will charge the full trading fee.

Traders who do not hold the token are subject to paying a minuscule 0.1% trading fee on all trades. There are no fees for depositing cryptocurrencies but withdrawing cryptocurrency from the exchange comes with a charge of 1% of the withdrawal amount with a minimum of $15 withdrawn.

If the trade receivable is ETH, the platform will calculate it by the exchange ratio of ETH to BIX at the market price, which is based on the market price of ETH /BTC and BIX / BTC.

Exchange ratio of ETH/BIX = (ETH/BTC) market price / (BIX/BTC) market price.

Withdrawal fees vary depending on the currency selected and fees include 0.0005 BTC for Bitcoin, 0.006 ETH, for Ethereum, and 0.005 LTC for Litecoin. Other coins are more expensive to withdraw.

Bibox co-founder sues former right-hand man

Bibox exchange co-founder, Wang Wan Lin, has filed a legal lawsuit against his former right-hand man, Wei Liu for falsely claiming ownership of his company's venture, which also involves an amount of money of over $3 million.

The story began when Bibox Groups Holdings Ltd. decided to form a new venture, named Investre Network following the success of Bibox exchange.

Wang said he hired Liu to help him with the launching of the new crypto management platform and instructed her to create 2 corporate entities and put his name and his business partner, Yang Han Chao as the sole managing members and shareholders.

According to the lawsuit document, instead of doing as per the instruction, Liu named herself as the sole managing member and shareholder of the new entities and hid it from Wang.

Responding to the lawsuit, Liu's attorney from Duval & Stachenfeld LLP, New York, Timothy Pastore said the accusations against his client are not true and that Liu is the actual person in charge of the venture.
