#CryptoFees101 In the world of cryptocurrencies, transaction fees can become a silent factor that “erodes” your profits if you do not know the fee mechanism on each exchange. There are cases where investors have to pay fees of up to 7% when trading through an intermediary, while the next direct transaction only costs about 0.25%. Trading fees are the costs that investors pay to cryptocurrency exchanges when buying and selling digital assets. Cryptocurrency exchange fees are one of the important factors to consider when choosing an exchange. Typical fees may include fees for transferring funds to/from your bank account, maker/taker fees, flat transaction fees, or tiered transaction fees based on trading volume.
