The Newton Signature Program offers status-based trading fees and referral benefits. Your standard Signature status is based on your eligible trading volume over the trailing 365 days and updates automatically. No application or manual enrolment is required.
How is my Signature status determined?
Your Signature status is based on the total CAD value of your eligible trading activity on Newton over the trailing 365 days.
Eligible activity: Buys, sells and swaps.
Not eligible: Deposits, withdrawals, staking activity and rewards.
Because the calculation uses a trailing 365-day window, your volume changes as new eligible trades are added and trades older than 365 days are removed.
What are the Signature statuses and fees?
Your status is based on the highest Signature status your trading volume qualifies for.
| Signature status | Minimum trailing 365-day trading volume | Asset Tier 1 BTC, ETH, USDC | Asset Tier 2 LTC, XLM, SOL | Asset Tier 3 All other assets | Eligible BTC/ETH swaps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | $0 CAD | 1.00%–1.15% | 1.25%–1.45% | 1.50%–1.60% | 1.00%–1.15% |
| Gold | $100,000 CAD | 1.00% | 1.25%–1.45% | 1.50%–1.60% | 1.00%–1.15% |
| Platinum | $1,000,000 CAD | 0.85% | 1.00% | 1.00% | 1.00% |
| Diamond | $2,000,000 CAD | 0.50% | 0.50% | 0.50% | 0.50% |
| Onyx | $5,000,000 CAD | 0.05% | 0.05% | 0.05% | 0.05% |
These fees apply only to buys, sells and swaps. They do not apply to staking or rewards.
Your applicable fee is shown before you confirm each trade. For current asset classifications and standard fees, see What are Newton’s fees?
How Signature Fees Are Applied
The Signature tier only applies to eligible trades made after your trading volume reaches a specified threshold and once your tier update has been implemented. Trades that contribute to reaching a threshold do not receive the lower fee, only the trades following it.
Your Signature tier takes effect once you’ve reached a tier threshold and applies to eligible trades going forward.
Trades made while reaching the threshold do not receive the reduced fee.
How does my Signature status change?
Moving up: When your trailing 365-day trade volume meets the requirement for a higher status, your status updates automatically. The trade that brings your volume to that requirement uses your current status fee. The new fee applies to future trades.
Moving down: If your volume falls below your current status requirement as older trades age out of the 365-day window, a 30-day review period begins. Your current status and fees remain active during that period.
If your volume meets the requirement again within 30 days, your status does not change. Otherwise, at the end of the review period, your status updates automatically to the highest status your trading volume qualifies for.
Example: Moving up
Your Gold trading volume is $950,000 CAD. An eligible trade increases your trailing volume to $1,050,000 CAD.
Because you were Gold when you confirmed the trade, it is completed at the Gold fee. Once the trade is complete, your status updates to Platinum and the new fees take effect.
Example: The 30-day review period
Your Platinum trading volume is $1.2 million CAD. As older trades age out of the trailing window, your volume falls to $900,000 CAD and the 30-day review period begins.
Your Platinum status and fees remain active during the review period. If your volume meets the $1 million CAD Platinum requirement again within 30 days, you remain Platinum. Otherwise, your status updates automatically based on your volume when the review period ends.
Where can I view my Signature status?
Go to Account Settings and select the Signature icon next to your name.
There, you’ll see your current Signature status, trailing 365-day trading volume, Signature fee details and total Signature savings to date.
How does referral status gifting work?
Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Onyx members can give an eligible referral 14 days of access to the trading fees associated with their Signature status.
To qualify, the friend must:
- Be a new Newton client
- Sign up using the member’s referral link
- Complete at least $100 CAD in trades within 90 days
The 14-day access period begins after the friend completes the referral requirements.
During that period, the friend receives the trading fees associated with the referring member’s Signature status. The friend’s own Signature status continues to be calculated using their eligible trading volume over the trailing 365 days.
When the 14-day period ends, the friend’s fees are based on their own Signature status.
Referral reward amounts are based on the referring member’s average monthly trading volume over the trailing 365 days when the friend completes the requirements. Terms apply.
