#CryptoFees101 Understanding crypto fees is essential for profitable trading. Most exchanges charge trading fees, withdrawal fees, and sometimes network fees. Trading fees are usually a small percentage of each buy or sell order—lower for high-volume users or when using the exchange’s native token. Withdrawal fees vary by coin and are needed to process your transaction on the blockchain. On decentralized exchanges (DEXs), you’ll also pay gas fees, especially on Ethereum, which can be high during network congestion. Always check the fee structure before trading, as frequent transactions or poor timing can eat into your profits without you realizing it.
