#CryptoFees101
Do you make profits on every trade... but your balance keeps decreasing? Warning!
You may fall victim to the silent profit killer: cryptocurrency fees. Although they often go unnoticed, these fees can make the difference between a successful wallet... and a losing one.
The most common types of fees:
Maker/Taker Fees: When receiving or providing liquidity. On the Binance platform, "makers" pay less.
Network Fees: Payments to validate transactions. On Ethereum, these can be very high during periods of congestion.
Swap Fees: In decentralized exchanges, every token swap involves liquidity fees.
Withdrawals: Every exchange charges a fee for withdrawing funds to an external wallet.
According to a report by The Block, traders who do not optimize their fees lose up to 12% of their annual returns. This is a mistake that can be avoided.
