Every trade has a cost — and crypto fees can eat into profits fast if you’re not careful.
Most exchanges charge two types of fees:
• Maker (for placing limit orders) – usually lower
• Taker (for market orders) – usually higher
Also watch out for network fees (gas fees on chains like Ethereum), which can spike during congestion.
Pro tips:
• Use limit orders to reduce fees
• Consolidate small trades to avoid frequent charges
• Choose fee-friendly exchanges or hold their native tokens for discounts (e.g., BNB on Binance)
Small fee savings add up over time.
