When you’re investing in cryptocurrency, you have to deal with cryptocurrency transaction fees. Due to the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies, you have to pay for using a network of a crypto as well. The network needs to be incentivized to verify all the transactions occurring on the blockchain, and you as a user are paying for that.

There are 3 types of transaction fees when dealing with cryptocurrencies:

  • Exchange fees
  • Network fees
  • Wallet fees
