💸 Let’s Talk Fees: How to Trade Smarter and Pay Less in Crypto

When it comes to crypto trading, fees matter — and over time, they can eat into your profits more than you think. Here’s a quick breakdown of the main fee types you’ll encounter:

🔹 Maker Fees – Charged when you place an order that adds liquidity to the market (e.g., a limit order not filled immediately). Usually lower.

🔹 Taker Fees – Applied when you take liquidity by executing market orders or matching existing orders.

🔹 Withdrawal Fees – Charged when transferring crypto out of an exchange. These vary by token and platform.

🔹 Spread Costs – The hidden fee between buy and sell prices, especially in less liquid markets.

💡 How to reduce trading costs?

✅ Use limit orders when possible to pay lower maker fees.

✅ Trade during high liquidity hours for better spreads.

✅ Consolidate your withdrawals to avoid repeated fees.

✅ Choose exchanges with VIP programs or fee discounts via native tokens (like BNB or CRO).
