Converting Crypto: Best Rates and Low Fees
Swapping Bitcoin for Ethereum isn't as simple as exchanging USD for EUR. Spreads and fees can vary wildly.
CEX vs. DEX
- CEX (Binance, Coinbase): Easy to use, generally lower fees for major pairs, but requires KYC.
- DEX (Uniswap): Private, self-custodial, but higher gas fees and potential slippage.
The "Spread"
The spread is the difference between the buy and sell price. Some flashy "zero fee" apps hide their fees in a massive 2-3% spread.
