Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to buy 1,000 of crypto?

On the OKX spot market at the regular tier about 0.8 to 1 per 1,000 in trading fees, plus any deposit, spread and withdrawal costs.

Is “0% fee” really free?

Not always. The cost can be in the spread, the gap between the price you pay and the market price.

Not financial advice. Crypto is volatile and you can lose all the money you invest. Fees change, so confirm them before you pay. Some links are referral links; they do not change our scores.
