eToro Crypto Pricing — Example
A fee of 1% is calculated for both the OPEN and the CLOSE transactions of your position, at the time that you open the position. The 1% fee is added to the market price.
As soon as you open a new position, you will see a “loss” in the position. This is the fee: the 1% cost of buying the cryptoasset, and the 1% expected cost of selling the cryptoasset.
Important: When you close the position, the selling fee is adjusted to reflect the market price of the cryptoasset at that time.
