Understanding Crypto Fees: A Quick Guide

In crypto trading, maker/taker fees apply when placing orders: makers add liquidity (limit orders) and pay lower fees, while takers remove liquidity (market orders) and pay higher fees. For example, Binance charges 0.1% for makers vs. 0.15% for takers. Gas fees are network costs—like paying $5 in ETH to process a transaction. Withdrawal costs are charged when moving crypto off an exchange, e.g., $20 to withdraw USDT.

You’ll most often face taker and gas fees. To save, use limit orders, trade during low network congestion, and consolidate withdrawals. Every little step helps reduce costs.
