#CryptoFees101
Why are you charged when making a crypto transaction? Here’s the simple answer:
Every time you do something in crypto (buy, sell, send…), someone processes that operation.
That “someone” can be:
🔹 An exchange (like Binance)
🔹 A blockchain network (like Ethereum or Bitcoin)
And of course… they charge for their service.
📌 Most common types of fees:
1️⃣ Trading Fee: commission for buying or selling on an exchange.
🔁 Example: Binance charges a small % for each operation.
2️⃣ Gas Fee: payment to validators for processing transactions on a blockchain.
⚠️ On Ethereum, they can vary a lot (sometimes it hurts!).
3️⃣ Withdrawal Fee: for taking your crypto from the exchange to your external wallet.
💡 Changes according to the network you choose.
💡 Advice:
✅ Compare networks (sometimes using BSC or Polygon is cheaper than Ethereum!)
✅ Use BNB to pay lower fees on Binance
💰 Understanding the fees = saving more in the long run.
