Hi it’s Unicorn
All Bitcoin exchanges have transaction fees, which will be charged upon completion of each buy and sale order, and the fee rate charged depends on the Bitcoin transaction volume of the exchange. In addition, different transaction fees will be charged according to the way you move the funds when you deposit and withdraw funds on the exchange. In general, comparing with credit cards, PayPal, etc, the fee of bank wire transfer or direct remittance is lower because it is less risky to the exchange. However, credit cards are very convenient ways to deposit funds, so most people use it.
In addition to transaction fees and transfer fees for funds deposits and withdraws, traders may also need to pay "currency exchange fees.” For instance, if you pay KRW to an exchange that only trades in U.S. dollars, the bank or exchange may charge a currency exchange fee to exchange KRW into U.S. dollars.
Maker and Taker
The role of the trader in the transaction will be divided into "Maker" and "Taker" when the transaction is completed. Makers incur smaller fees than takers.
Why is there such a maker taker system with different charges? The main reason is that Makers provide higher liquidity to an exchange and create a market for a token: Takers remove liquidity by fulfilling open orders on the exchange.
Exchanges often calculate the market value of an asset with an order book. This is where it collects all the offers to buy and to sell from its users.Limit orders is that you announce your intentions ahead of time by adding them to the order book. You’re a maker because you’ve “made” the market. Therefore, makers are given some kind of rebate, as they’re adding liquidity to the exchange.
On the other hand, the takers mostly use "market orders" to place orders on the exchange. Once the exchange receives this type of order, it will take volume off the order book.
