Exchange Fee Guide

Trading cost includes more than spot or futures fees. Withdrawal fees, funding rates, spreads, slippage, and fiat on-ramp costs can all affect your final result. Compare total cost, not just one advertised rate.

Main Fee Types

• Spot fees: Usually charged as a percentage of filled value, often around 0.08%-0.1% on major platforms.
• Futures fees: Maker and taker rates differ, with maker orders often cheaper.
• Funding rates: Periodic payments between long and short sides on perpetual futures.
• Withdrawal fees: Charged by asset and network; costs may rise during congestion.
• Spread and slippage: Hidden costs from thin liquidity or large orders.

How to Reduce Cost

Prefer exchanges with deep liquidity, transparent fees, rebates, or tier discounts. For larger trades, split orders and check order book depth first.
