Understanding the Cost of Crypto Trading
Every trade you make in crypto isn’t free — but understanding how fees work can save you a lot over time.
Here’s what beginners should know:
📉 Trading Fees:
Charged when you buy or sell crypto. On Binance, fees are usually low — and even lower if you use BNB to pay fees.
⚡ Maker vs Taker Fees:
Maker = you add liquidity (limit orders).
Taker = you remove liquidity (market orders).
Takers generally pay slightly higher fees.
🏦 Withdrawal Fees:
When moving crypto from Binance to another wallet or exchange, a network fee is applied. It varies by token and blockchain congestion.
💱 Conversion Fees:
Some swaps between assets can have hidden spreads or slippage. Be sure to check the final amount before confirming.
💡 Pro Tip:
Always check the fee structure before trading — especially if you're active or dealing in large volumes.
