Find out what exchange tokens can unlock, when it makes sense to hold them, and how to size your position for utility and not hype.
Think of an exchange’s utility token as a power-up for the platform. It isn’t a stablecoin and it isn’t a meme — it’s a key that can unlock extra features, better terms, or priority access inside that exchange’s ecosystem.
At a high level, the token serves 3 simple goals:
▪️Make loyal usage easier and cheaper. If you’re already trading, saving, or earning on the platform, holding the token can qualify you for improved conditions (e.g., higher limits, better rates, or access to promos).
▪️Align incentives. By rewarding active users with perks tied to token holding, the platform nudges behaviour that keeps liquidity healthy and features well-used. In plain English: use the platform, get more out of it.
▪️Bundle benefits in one place. Instead of ten separate “club cards,” the token acts as a unified pass: one balance that can interact with multiple features (Earn tiers, loyalty/referral mechanics, occasional early access, etc.).
Important reality check: a utility token’s market price can move. The smart mindset is utility-first — hold the amount that actually saves you money and unlocks a benefit you’ll use, and re-evaluate as your usage changes.
EXM is EXMO’s utility token. It’s designed to work inside EXMO’s product set to help you unlock better conditions or access perks tied to your activity. It is not a stablecoin and not a governance token; it is an asset that help you get benefits on your favourite platform.
Core EXM utilities:
Holding EXM can qualify you for Fixed Earn tiers that improve your experience on selected assets (for example, better conditions or higher caps where applicable). Exact benefits are asset-specific and can change, so always check the Fixed Earn card in the app/site before enrolling.
Current levels:
▪️Basic — Hold 0 EXM (default for everyone)
▪️Standard — Hold 50,000 EXM
▪️Advanced — Hold 120,000 EXM
Regional note: Users residing in the EEA do not have access to Earn tiers. EEA users can use Earn at the Basic level only.
At times, native tokens can enhance referral/loyalty benefits—for example, higher caps or improved reward rates in specific promos. These are time-bound and terms-driven, so check the available promotions in the blog section.
You can buy a subscription with EXM to reduce your maker (fee for placing limit orders that add liquidity) and taker (fee for market/instant orders that remove liquidity) fees. If you rebalance, DCA regularly, or trade a few times a week, smaller fees compound into meaningful savings over time.
Exchange coins are often the first thing you encounter when registering on the platform. EXMO motivates its users to purchase EXM to experience trading on the platform as we meant it to be.
