#CryptoFees101 Many new crypto traders get confused by transaction fees. Every time you buy, sell, or transfer crypto, you’re likely paying a fee—either to the exchange or the blockchain network (like Ethereum gas fees). These fees can vary based on network congestion and the platform you use. For example, trading on a decentralized exchange often has higher gas fees but gives you more control. It’s important to check fee structures before trading. Over time, fees can eat into your profits, especially for frequent traders. Always compare fees before choosing a platform to avoid unexpected costs and improve your strategy.
