Frequently Asked Questions
How do cryptocurrency exchange fees work?
Cryptocurrency exchange fees are typically charged as a percentage of the transaction amount. Most exchanges charge a fee when you buy and sell cryptocurrencies. Fee structures vary between exchanges and can depend on your trading volume, whether you use the exchange's native token for fee payment, and the type of trading (spot, margin, or futures).
How can I reduce my crypto exchange fees?
You can reduce exchange fees by: 1) Using exchange native tokens (like BNB on Binance) for fee payment, 2) Increasing your trading volume to qualify for VIP tiers, 3) Using limit orders instead of market orders, 4) Trading on exchanges with lower fee structures, and 5) Holding the exchange's token to receive fee discounts.
Why are fees higher on decentralized exchanges (DEXs)?
Decentralized exchanges often have higher total costs because in addition to trading fees (which can range from 0.1% to 0.3%), users must also pay network gas fees for each transaction. Gas fees are paid to miners/validators to process transactions on the blockchain and can vary significantly based on network congestion, especially on networks like Ethereum.
