Understanding Crypto Exchange Fees

Maker vs Taker Fees

Maker fees apply when you add liquidity (limit orders that don't fill immediately). Taker fees apply when you remove liquidity (market orders or limit orders that fill immediately). Makers usually pay less.

Volume Discounts

Most exchanges offer tiered fee structures. The more you trade, the lower your fees. High-volume traders can see fees drop by 50% or more compared to standard rates.

Token Discounts

Many exchanges offer additional discounts when paying fees with their native token (BNB on Binance, KCS on KuCoin, etc.). These can save you an extra 10-25%.

Hidden Fees

Watch out for spread markups on "fee-free" platforms, high withdrawal fees for certain cryptocurrencies, and inactivity fees. Always check the full fee schedule.
