If you have been comparing commodity trading apps in India, fees are usually the first thing that breaks the deal. Most platforms charge a meaningfully higher rate on the taker side, and that gap increases fast if you trade gold or crude oil more than a few times a week.
CoinDCX has just cut that gap to almost nothing. Commodity brokerage charges across all pairs, gold, silver, crude oil, Brent oil, and natural gas, are now a flat 1 bps on both maker and taker sides. That is an 80% reduction from the earlier 5 bps taker fee, and it applies to every user, on every trade, with no minimum volume required.
Here is what changed, why it matters if you are evaluating a commodity trading account, and how to get started.
What Changed in the CoinDCX Fee Structure
Until now, commodity trading charges on CoinDCX carried a 2 bps maker fee and a 5 bps taker fee. Both have been reduced to a flat 1 bps, applied uniformly across all VIP tiers and volume levels.
| Maker/Taker | Old Fee | New Fee | Reduction |
| Maker | 2 bps | 1 bps | 50% |
| Taker | 5 bps | 1 bps | 80% |
This is not a tiered discount that only kicks in once you hit a certain monthly volume. Every account, new or existing, retail or VIP, pays 1 bps from the very first trade.
Which Pairs Are Covered
Six commodity pairs carry the new fee structure:
- Gold– XAUUSDT and PAXGUSDT
- Silver– XAGUSDT
- Crude Oil– CLUSTDT
- Brent Oil– BZUSDT
- Natural Gas– NATGASUSDT
The reduced fee applies to both USDT-margined and INR-margined contracts across these pairs.
Why Trade Gold, Silver & Crude Oil Commodity Trading on CoinDCX
Gold commodity trading remains one of the most searched and most traded categories in India, and for good reason, it is the asset traders reach for during macro uncertainty, currency depreciation, or simply as a portfolio hedge. Silver commodity trading tends to attract a different crowd: traders running momentum and volatility plays, since silver typically moves with more amplitude than gold on the same macro trigger. Crude oil commodity trading is its own category entirely, driven by inventory data, OPEC decisions, and, as anyone watching markets in 2026 knows, geopolitical supply shocks.
CoinDCX brings all three into one execution environment on a low brokerage commodity trading platform, with the kind of infrastructure that matters once you are actually trading and not just watching charts.
Tight Spreads
Gold pairs run spreads as tight as 0.02 bps, a meaningful detail for anyone trading size or running short-duration strategies where the spread itself is a real cost.
Deep Order Book Liquidity
Liquidity depth across all six pairs reduces slippage, particularly during the volatile windows, US inventory data, Fed announcements, geopolitical headlines, when commodity prices move the most and execution quality matters most.
24/7 Trading
Traditional commodity exchanges in India operate on fixed session hours. CoinDCX commodity pairs trade around the clock, which matters specifically for crude oil and gold, where overnight moves in US and Middle East markets are often the most significant moves of the day.
Leverage Available on all Pairs
Every one of the six commodity pairs supports leveraged positions, giving traders capital efficiency without needing to fund a position at full notional value.
One Account, No Separate Onboarding
If you already trade crypto futures on CoinDCX, your existing account gives you direct access to commodity pairs. There is no second KYC, no separate app, and no additional account-opening process.

- Step 5: Place your trade– choose a market or limit order, set your leverage, and execute.
CoinDCX vs Traditional Commodity Trading Platforms
If you are comparing the best commodity trading app for your needs, here is how CoinDCX’s structure differs from a traditional MCX-linked broker:
| Facilities | Traditional Commodity Broker | CoinDCX |
| Trading hours | Fixed sessions (typically 9 AM–11:30 PM IST) | 24/7 |
| Account opening | Separate demat + trading account, multi-day process | Single account, minutes |
| Typical taker fee | Often 0.03%–0.05%+ depending on broker | 0.01% (1 bps) flat |
| Minimum volume for best pricing | Usually tiered by volume/turnover | None, 1 bps from trade one |
| Margin/leverage | Broker-dependent, often restrictive | Available on all six pairs |
This is not a claim that one structure is universally better, traditional exchanges offer their own regulatory framework and instrument variety. But for traders specifically looking for low-fee, 24/7 access to gold, silver, and crude oil without a separate account-opening process, the comparison is direct.
