#CryptoFees101 ⚙️ 1. Trading Fees

Every time you buy or sell crypto on an exchange, you pay a fee.

There are two types:

Maker: You add liquidity by placing a limit order

Taker: You remove liquidity with a market order

👉 Taker fees are usually higher!

⛓️ 2. Network (Gas) Fees

Transferring crypto on blockchains like Ethereum or Bitcoin?

You pay gas fees to miners/validators to process your transaction. These fees can spike during congestion!

💼 3. Withdrawal Fees

Want to move your crypto off an exchange into your wallet?

There’s often a flat withdrawal fee, and it varies by coin. Don’t wait till it surprises you.

🌐 4. Hidden Fees

Watch out for spread fees—some platforms widen the buy/sell price and pocket the difference without showing it as a “fee.”

✅ Pro Tip: Always compare fees across platforms. Small differences add up, especially for frequent traders.
