How this ranking was verified
Every row on this page comes from the record Oracl8 keeps on each exchange. Only exchanges with a fee schedule that can be read from the record are ranked here. The steps below apply to all core pages.
- Scan the register. Each exchange is matched to the public regulator register it claims: the FinCEN MSB list, the FCA cryptoasset register, the MiCA CASP register, MAS, NYDFS, and the equivalent national authorities. Only the regulator name is recorded. Oracl8 does not publish a licence number it has not confirmed on the register itself.
- Cross-check the fee schedule. The maker and taker fee is read from the exchange fee page and logged as the standard retail tier, not a promotional rate. The combined round-trip cost is computed from that record.
- Date the entry. Each record carries the date it was last checked. The current pass was verified on 2026-09-16.
- Re-scan on a schedule. Registrations lapse and fees change. The record is re-scanned so a stale entry is corrected rather than trusted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which crypto exchange has the lowest fees?
On the Oracl8 record, Deribit has the lowest standard taker fee at 0.05%. The exact rate a trader pays drops with 30-day volume, so it is worth confirming the current tier before opening an account.
What is a taker fee?
A taker order removes liquidity from the order book and fills immediately, paying the taker fee. A maker order rests on the book and pays the lower maker fee. See the maker vs taker guide.
Are these the total costs of trading?
No. The taker fee is the trading fee only. Network fees, withdrawal fees and any spread on instant-buy products are separate. The exchange check tool estimates the full round-trip cost.
Do low fees mean an exchange is safe?
A low fee is a cost signal, not a safety signal. Registration under a named regulator is checked separately. See regulated exchanges.
How current are these fees?
The fee schedule was last read on 2026-09-16. Exchanges change fees, so the record is re-scanned and dated.
