Crypto.com vs Kraken
Same kind of product, two profiles. Affiliate status is not how this page is ordered.
On the published entry rate this comparison sorts by, Crypto.com is lower (0.25% maker / 0.50% taker).
Crypto.com
The Crypto.com Exchange fee table, last updated 17 October 2026, starts at 0.25% maker and 0.50% taker under $10,000 of 30-day volume. Holding at least 50,000 CRO zeroes the maker fee and discounts the taker fee. The US app's simple-buy price is a different product and was not verified as this table.
0.25% maker / 0.50% taker
Kraken
Kraken Pro uses a maker/taker schedule. From 9 July 2026 the tier is the better of 30-day spot volume or assets held on the platform. Instant Buy volume does not count toward that volume, and Instant Buy is a quoted price rather than the Pro schedule.
0.40% maker / 0.80% taker
