Maker vs. Taker: Why You Sometimes Buy Crypto at a Higher Price Than Expected
If you’re buying or selling crypto on Binance, you’ve likely seen the terms “Maker” and “Taker.” They sound technical, but understanding them can save you money — and help explain why your buy order might cost more than you thought.

Let’s break it down simply:

1. Market Order = Taker (You take liquidity)

A market order means:
“I want to buy (or sell) right now, at the best available price.”

You don’t choose the price. Binance instantly matches you with existing orders in the order book.

You’re a Taker, because you're taking someone else's offer that’s already there.

> Example: You click “Buy BTC” with a market order. The system finds a seller offering 0.1 BTC at $86,800 — and you get matched instantly.

2. Limit Order = Maker (You add liquidity)

With a limit order, you set the exact price you're willing to buy or sell at.

Your order goes into the order book and waits — until someone agrees to your price.

You’re a Maker, because you’re making offers available in the market.

> Example: You place a limit buy order for BTC at $86,200. It won’t fill immediately. It waits in the order book until a seller accepts that price.

3. Why Do You Sometimes Buy at a Higher Price Than Expected?

Let’s say the latest BTC price shows $86,700, and you place a market buy.

You might expect to buy at $86,700, but if the order book looks like this:

0.05 BTC at $86,800

0.1 BTC at $87,000

Then your market order gets filled from the top down — and you may end up paying $86,800 or $87,000, depending on how much BTC you're buying.

That’s called slippage — when the actual execution price is higher than expected due to limited liquidity at the target price.

> You're not being overcharged — you're just buying what’s available at that moment.

Quick Summary:

Market Order = Taker = Fast execution = Removes liquidity = Possible slippage

Limit Order = Maker = You wait for your price = Adds liquidity = More control

Takers usually pay slightly higher fees

Slippage is normal when there’s low volume or high volatility

Pro Tip:
If you're patient and want more control over your price — especially in a fast-moving market — use a limit order.
