Gemini Has Raised Fees by Hardcore Numbers

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Gemini is a great exchange, i don't think there is a single person who doesn't like how it works or feel secure on it due to everything Winklevoss are doing to keep it legit.

After today's change in the system (notice how they waited for 1st april to pass) the fees have raised.

Fees raised? Well, that's not a big deal, this happens. Thing is they pretty much quadrupled for most users now!

Speaking shortly just like BitFinex wants a minimum deposit of 10 000 USD worth of coins to use their site, Gemini also makes it not worth to use for small users.
Possibly big exchanges will soon be raising deposit/withdrawal and trade fees to avoid all small and occasional buyers wasting bw of their services.

Markets


As you can see people mostly trade FIAT there, not interested in exchanging crypto-crypto pairs. Its said this year we should see LTC there - time will tell.

Sort:  

Any fee above 0.5% is hardly acceptable.

My guess is, they don't want to bother with low volume clients, nor waste time of their technical support with them.

It's easier to work with a few big fish than with tons of plankton.

Interesting that exchanges are cleaning up their act and applying more main stream practices. Several others have implemented minimum limits of a similar magnitude which is a real shame. Smaller users are being forced to use the smaller exchanges which is not good.

Damn that is a big hike. 4X?!

There really is a big change in the system
Currencies No one can expect the market every day at a different price but I expect the currency to fall in general

Yikes more extraneous fees !?? things are getting a little out of hand, no??

This is huge man. This affects small fries like us more than anybody else. Crypto-fiat platforms are not going to catch a break anytime soon. This sucks!
Well maybe no. I mean we do have ways get our hands on crypto and no amount of bad news can completely squeeze those windows shut.
Well bad or not information is good. Thanks man

Ah man, I love Gemini. :/ Its been my favorite and most trusted place to get bitcoin and ethereum.

What sucks about raising fees and raising minimum trades is that cryptos will be removed from the common person's ability to take advantage of the single biggest technology change of this century that could allow people to radically change their financial position with just small investments...

The 1% will once again take the market for themselves!

I am very interested with this review, I resteem

This is not very surprising as the expectation of being regulated will bring increased compliance costs to the exchanges; especially those that trade with fiat. We may see this continue for the foreseeable future.

Never used this site but will try it now.

I think Gemini is trusted exchange site.Here's a lot more eth price than the comparative price.l really interest Gemini app.i will create a Gemini account @kingscrown

Im not happy about this. I was very happy when I found gemini platform because of the expensive fees of coinbase.

Interesting they do so at a time when most exchanges are reducing their fees. I think it's one of two things; expecting more institutional investors that are more inclined to use Gemini than other exchanges, hence Gemini can jack up the prices, or regulatory costs.

thanks for informing me more about gemini

Thanks for the post # @kingscrown. A pretty steep incline in fees. That's serious performance drag. I've compared some low volume trading fees at other exchanges, links included:

  • GDAX (0% maker, 0.25% taker)
  • Binance (0.1% maker and taker, 50% discount with BNB)
  • Kraken (0.16% maker, 0.26% taker)
  • Huobi (0.2% maker and taker)
  • OKEx (minus 0.1% maker, 0.1% taker
  • Bitfinex (0.1% maker, 0.2% taker)
  • Bithumb (0.15% maker and taker)
  • Bittrex (0.25% maker and taker)

Gemini's fees (1% maker and taker) are really high for what you call 'small users'.

Gemini was looking pretty good until they raised their fees to 1%.
