00:00let's talk about the lowest crypto futures fees in 2026 so every major cryptocurrency exchange
00:07is going to be ranked and we're going to be calculating the fees and let's start with none
00:13other than k6 which is the position in itself is one of the most aggressive low fee cryptocurrency
00:18exchanges right now with a zero maker and zero taker fees on spot trading and the futures zero
00:25maker fees and only 0.01 percent on the taker side making it highly competitive for scalpers
00:32high frequency traders and users who trade often if you want to get started with k6 the link is in
00:39the description below but before we get into all the other platforms right the one problem that a
00:45lot of cryptocurrency traders definitely focus or obsess over is the fact that you know looking at
00:53either the wrong data when they check the headline maker taker rates it confirm that it looks
00:59competitive and then they sign up right what they miss is that trading fees operate as a multi-layer
01:05system where the stated rate is only the opening number token discounts vip tiers funding rates
01:13withdrawal cost and also the leverage multiplier effect on notional size position all kind of
01:21interact in a way that actually uh determine what you will eventually pay and the difference
01:28between getting that calculation right and ignoring it kind of runs to thousands of dollars per year
01:34for any active trader so in this video we want to make sure we have the real cost of crypto
01:42trading
01:42especially futures and on every major platform by understanding the fee structures and what you actually
01:50paid for on a futures trade right so they are the maker and taker fees which are the most visible
01:56when you place the limit order that sits on the order book before being filled you are a maker which
02:02means you're adding liquidity when you place a market order that feels immediately against the other
02:08existing orders you're a taker you're removing liquidity right and then of course the leverage
02:13multiplies the fee calculation that trips up most the futures traders futures fees are charged
02:20on the full notional value of the position not the margin you deposit it so if you open a $500
02:26margin
02:27position at 50x leverage your notional position size is 25k 0.05 percent taker fee applies to that
02:34$25,000 costing you $12.50 on a $500 deposit right so that run that position twice a day for
02:43a month
02:43and the fee can reach $750 you know on a $500 account so i think people need to really pay
02:51attention
02:52to that and of course funding rates as well uh the invisible cost layer that actually dominates the
02:57total fee expenditure in my opinion for traders holding positions that are longer than a few hours on
03:02perpetual contracts which have no expiry and no settlement mechanism exchanges use a funding rate
03:08charged every eight hours to keep up with a perpetual price anchored to the spot price so you have to
03:14understand that and also the native token discounts uh which reduce your maker taker rates by holding or
03:20paying fees in the exchange's native token like a binance's bnb or okb or 4kx or bgb for biggit for
03:28example right so the withdrawal fees are also the most variable hidden cost most usdt off uh an
03:35exchange to a cold wallet or defi protocol will cost between a dollar on tron for example to $15
03:40sometimes on other networks during congestion periods and uh this is a hefty hefty cost so that's
03:47what i like like i said a platform like casex where you have zero withdrawal fees even on networks like
03:53erc 20 which is pretty amazing so let's just compare the total list here and i'll leave a link to
