💸 #CryptoFees101 – Understanding Fees in the World of Cryptocurrencies

When you buy, sell, or transfer crypto assets, you usually pay a fee — and understanding how they work is essential for making more informed and economical decisions.

🔁 1. Trading Fees (Exchange Fees)

These are charged when you buy or sell a crypto asset on an exchange like Binance.

📌 There are two types:

Maker: you add liquidity (e.g., limit order) → fee usually lower.

Taker: you remove liquidity (e.g., market order) → fee slightly higher.

💡 Tip: Use limit orders to save money.

🔗 2. Network Fees

Paid to the validators/miners of the blockchain to process your transaction.

On Ethereum, they are called gas fees.

On blockchains like Solana or BNB Chain, they are generally lower.

💡 Tip: Move crypto outside of peak hours to pay less.

🏦 3. Withdrawal Fees

When you withdraw crypto from the exchange to an external wallet, there is a fixed fee (set by the exchange and the network).

💡 Tip: Group withdrawals into a single transaction whenever possible.

🛡️ 4. Hidden Fees

Some platforms apply indirect fees in the quote. Always compare prices and read the terms before trading.
