Commissions in crypto: how not to burn your deposit for no reason 💸
Many newcomers only look at the coin's price but forget about another important enemy — commissions. Are you trading actively? Pay. Are you transferring between wallets? Pay. Even if you just want to stake tokens — sometimes, you can't avoid commissions.
Commissions can be:
🔸 Maker/taker on exchanges (especially in spot and derivatives markets)
🔸 Gas in networks like Ethereum or BNB Chain
🔸 Withdrawals and deposits, which depend on the exchange
The more active the strategy — the more important it is to consider commissions in PnL. Sometimes a "profitable trade" turns into a loss just because of fees.
The conclusion is simple: always read the fine print and compare fees across different platforms. Saving here is not greed, but financial literacy.
