Method
Rates are the base tier (no volume discounts, no exchange-token discounts) for regular spot trading, from each exchange's published fee schedule on the check date. Where an official page blocks automated reading, the figure is cross-checked against several independent current roundups and the official page remains the linked source of truth.
Withdrawal fees are deliberately not listed: they depend on the network and change weekly, so any table here would rot. Check them on the exchange the day you withdraw.
Fees are one input among many (jurisdiction, custody, available pairs). This page compares published prices; it does not recommend a platform and is not investment advice.
