How Does CoinEx Token CET Improve the User Experience on CoinEx?

CoinEx Token improves the CoinEx experience through measurable reductions in trading costs, a second route into VIP status, staking access, and blockchain use. A VIP0 spot trader pays 0.2000% under CoinEx’s standard schedule or 0.1600% with CET deduction, a 20% reduction. Holding 2,000 CET meets the VIP1 threshold, while 1,000,000 CET meets VIP5, where the published CET-deduction spot rate is 0.0800%. CoinEx also uses 20% of daily trading-fee income for CET repurchases. By July 2, 2026, CoinEx reported 7.51 billion CET burned from an original issuance of 10 billion.

CET was issued in January 2018 and later moved from Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard to CoinEx Smart Chain, where it is used to pay network gas. That history matters for users because CET is not limited to a trading pair: the same asset has roles in exchange fees, VIP qualification, staking, promotions, and blockchain transactions.

The easiest benefit to measure appears every time a spot order generates a fee. CoinEx lists a 0.2000% standard spot rate for VIP0 and 0.1600% when CET deduction is used. On $100,000 of fee-bearing trading volume, the simple comparison is $200 versus $160. At $1 million, it becomes $2,000 versus $1,600 before considering different market fee schedules.

A 0.2000% rate falling to 0.1600% is a 20% fee reduction. For someone processing $5 million under the same simplified assumptions, the difference is $2,000 in fees.

CET holdings can lower the applicable rate further through CoinEx VIP levels. Qualification is not based only on trading volume: CoinEx checks CET balance, total account assets, 30-day spot volume, or 30-day futures volume, and meeting any one of the published thresholds can establish the corresponding VIP level.

VIP level	CET balance	30-day spot volume	Standard spot fee	With CET deduction
VIP0	0 CET	$0	0.2000%	0.1600%
VIP1	2,000 CET	$20,000	0.1800%	0.1440%
VIP2	10,000 CET	$100,000	0.1600%	0.1280%
VIP3	50,000 CET	$200,000	0.1400%	0.1120%
VIP4	250,000 CET	$500,000	0.1200%	0.0960%
VIP5	1,000,000 CET	$1 million	0.1000%	0.0800%

The table shows why CET affects different types of users differently. Someone who does not reach $20,000 in 30-day spot volume can still meet VIP1 by holding 2,000 CET or maintaining at least $10,000 in qualifying total assets. At VIP5, the alternatives are 1 million CET, $500,000 in total assets, $1 million in 30-day spot volume, or $10 million in 30-day futures volume.

CoinEx also states that the VIP fee discount and CET fee deduction can be used together. That produces a larger numerical difference at the upper tiers: VIP5 with CET deduction is 0.0800%, compared with the VIP0 standard rate of 0.2000%. On the same $1 million fee-bearing spot volume, the simplified comparison is $800 against $2,000, although actual costs depend on the market, account status, and applicable fee rules.

There are limits worth knowing before treating the table as universal. CoinEx uses separate rules for AMM markets, and its VIP documentation says ordinary AMM markets use a 0.3% fee while stablecoin AMM markets use 0.1%; VIP special rates do not apply there. The published rate should therefore be checked against the specific market before an order is placed.

The membership process is also automated rather than requiring a manual VIP application. CoinEx states that VIP levels are updated at 01:00 UTC each day, and CET held at a bound off-site address can be included in the CET balance calculation. A 7-day grace period applies to VIP downgrades when an account stops meeting the required level.

That daily calculation makes CET useful beyond a one-time fee coupon. A trader may qualify through 30-day volume during an active month and through CET balance during a quieter period. CoinEx’s 2024 update preserved CET and account-asset thresholds while changing spot and futures volume requirements, showing that users should read the current VIP table rather than rely on an older rate screenshot.

CET can also be used outside the fee system. CoinEx currently lists CET among the assets supported by CoinEx Staking Earn, alongside ETH, SOL, ADA, TRX, DOT, and SUI. CoinEx’s staking documentation, updated in January 2026, states that CET staking carries 0% service fee, while staking rewards for other supported assets are subject to a 10% service fee.

The staking schedule is unusually specific. Rewards start accruing one hour after staking takes effect, calculations are settled hourly, and distributions are sent to the spot account at about 00:30 UTC on the following day. CoinEx calculates the displayed APY from the previous 24 hours of on-chain block rewards and effective staked amount rather than offering a fixed interest rate.

• T+1 hour: reward calculation starts after staking takes effect.

• T+1 day: rewards are distributed at about 00:30 UTC.

• CET staking service fee: 0%.

• Other supported staking assets: 10% of staking rewards is charged as a service fee.

• Redemption: CoinEx says the unlocking period can typically range from 1 to 28 days depending on the token.

Staking therefore adds another use for CET, but it does not remove market or liquidity considerations. CoinEx states that staking APY can change because network block rewards and total on-chain stake change, while the market price of the staked asset can also move. Once redemption is submitted, the relevant assets stop earning staking rewards during the redemption period.

Another part of the user experience sits outside the centralized exchange interface. CET is the native gas asset on CoinEx Smart Chain, a Proof-of-Stake network. Users interacting with applications or smart contracts on CSC pay network transaction costs in CET, so someone moving from CoinEx trading into CSC-based activity does not encounter a completely separate network asset for gas.

Supply management adds a separate, measurable layer. CET began with an issuance of 10 billion tokens. Since July 1, 2023, CoinEx has used 20% of trading-fee income for CET repurchases, with repurchased CET burned according to its published schedule; before the supply fell below the earlier 3 billion target, the repurchase ratio had been 50%.

The monthly records show how much CET has actually been removed rather than only describing the policy. On June 2, 2026, CoinEx reported burning 16,164,860.83 CET from the May repurchase, with a stated market amount of $396,638.39. One month later, the June program was considerably larger.

On July 2, 2026, CoinEx burned 27,249,214.05 CET, valued in its announcement at $465,774.18. The reported cumulative burned amount reached 7,510,648,473.10 CET, while the reported remaining amount was 2,450,060,895.08 CET.

Measured against the original 10 billion issuance, the cumulative burned figure reported on July 2, 2026 equals about 75.1% of the starting issuance. CoinEx also reported cumulative repurchases of 2,429,668,418.24 CET by that date. Monthly records and transaction IDs give users figures that can be compared from one reporting period to another instead of relying on a projected future supply figure.

The change between May and June 2026 is also informative. Monthly CET burned rose from 16.16 million to 27.25 million, an increase of roughly 68.6%, while the reported market amount rose from about $396,638 to $465,774. The number of tokens repurchased can change because trading-fee income and the CET purchase price are not fixed.

CET’s platform uses extend into service access as well. CoinEx lists priority ticket handling among VIP benefits, while VIP5 includes a dedicated VIP manager, customized gifts, and access to selected offline events or salons. Referral rebates are advertised at up to 40% for eligible VIP arrangements. Availability can depend on account level and current program terms, so a CET balance should not be treated as automatic access to every promotion.

For a frequent spot trader, the most measurable comparison remains the fee schedule: 0.2000% at VIP0 without CET deduction, 0.1600% with CET deduction, and as low as 0.0800% at the published VIP5 CET-deduction rate. For a CET holder who trades less often, 0% CET staking service fees and CSC gas use provide separate functions, while the 20% trading-fee-income repurchase policy links part of exchange activity to the monthly burn process.
