WazirX launches ‘WazirX Zero’ to eliminate per-trade fees for crypto traders

WazirX has introduced a new subscription-based trading model that removes per-order transaction fees and allows users to trade unlimited volumes across more than 300 tokens for a flat monthly charge of ₹99, reshaping the exchange–trader relationship in India

WazirX has unveiled WazirX Zero, a new trading framework that eliminates per-trade transaction fees and replaces them with a fixed monthly charge of ₹99. With this shift, users can trade unlimited volumes across 300+ tokens without incurring additional fees on each order, marking a significant departure from the industry’s standard fee-driven model.

A new subscription model to replace volume-based fees

Traditionally, crypto exchanges earn more as users trade more, regardless of whether traders make or lose money. Since fees scale with trading volume, the existing system places exchanges and traders on opposing sides. WazirX Zero aims to break that incentive structure by removing per-order charges entirely, focusing instead on improving the trading experience and ensuring users can trade freely without fee pressure.

The company highlighted how trading fees accumulate rapidly for active users. For example, a trader making ten buy-and-sell transactions of ₹10,000 each month typically pays around 0.5% per order, amounting to thousands of rupees monthly. Over a year, this can total nearly ₹6,000—roughly 60% of the user’s capital—paid solely in transaction fees. The financial impact is even more significant for users trading in higher volumes. By introducing a flat ₹99 monthly charge, WazirX Zero removes this recurring burden entirely.

Designed for all traders, from retail to high-volume users

WazirX describes the new model as suitable for every category of trader, from beginners to seasoned high-volume market participants. The platform’s objective is to remove per-trade penalties, reduce friction, and lower barriers that often deter users from active participation in crypto markets. With WazirX Zero, users gain the flexibility to trade on their own terms, without worrying about escalating costs tied to trading frequency.

Nischal Shetty, Founder of WazirX, said, “The industry has accepted a model where exchanges profit from every trade whether the user wins or loses. WazirX Zero resets the relationship. No per trade transaction fees, no complexity, one clear charge. The goal is simple: enable users to trade without barriers, giving users what they want. WazirX is on the users’ side now.”

WazirX Zero now becomes the default trading model on the platform, positioning itself as the most cost-effective way to trade crypto in India.
