Trading fees (0.1%–4% per trade), comprising order fees and hidden "spreads" between buy/sell prices .

Deposit/withdrawal fees for fiat or crypto transfers (e.g., Kraken charges for both, Coinbase up to 4% for card deposits) .

Staking fees (15%–25% of rewards on platforms like Coinbase/Kraken) .

Blockchain fees (on-chain transaction costs) vary by network demand:
