Fee

Trading fee charged by the venue, after your referral discount.

Spread

Half the difference between best bid and ask at measurement time.

Slippage

Price impact of walking the live order book at your trade size.

Total cost

Fee + spread + slippage — the true execution cost, in basis points. 1 bps = 0.01%.

Fee pages tell you a third of the story.

The advertised fee is one of three costs. We measure all of them — fee, spread and slippage — straight off live order books, and count spread the way you actually pay it: half the cross. Read the methodology.

Common questions

What is the cheapest crypto exchange?

It changes by the minute and by trade size, which is why this page is a live ranking instead of an article. The table above measures the full cost of a market order — fee, spread and slippage — on every venue we track and sorts by the total. The venue in row one is the cheapest right now for the size you selected.

Why did my trade cost more than the advertised fee?

Because the advertised fee is only one of three costs. You also pay the spread (the gap between buy and sell prices) the instant a market order fills, and slippage (your order pushing through the order book) that grows with trade size. Neither appears on a fee page, and on thin venues they can dwarf the fee itself.

Are zero-fee exchanges really free?

No. Venues that advertise 0% trading fees earn from the spread instead, and some quote noticeably wider prices than fee-charging competitors. A 0-fee venue with a wide spread routinely costs more all-in than a venue charging 2 bps over a tight book — the table above catches exactly that.

Does trade size change which exchange is cheapest?

Dramatically. Fees are flat percentages, but order-book depth is not: a venue that wins at $1,000 can be mid-table at $1,000,000 because your order walks deeper into its book. Use the trade-size control to match your actual order size — the ranking often reshuffles.

What is a basis point (bps)?

One hundredth of a percent: 1 bps = 0.01%. Costs are quoted in basis points of your trade size, so a 4 bps all-in cost on a $100,000 order is $40. The dollar column does this conversion for you.

Do the referral discounts actually work?

Where a discount is shown, our signup link carries a working code and the discount applies to the fee component only — spread and slippage are paid to the market, and no code discounts those. Toggle the referral filter off to see undiscounted list prices. We never show a discount for a link that does not deliver one.
