Emm, that doesn't make any sence. What's the difference between paying the fee in base currency and paying it in some other currency? If you sell 100 USD for BTC with 1% trading fee so if you sell 100$ worth of BTC you will still loose this 1$ worth of BTC. It btcome even more complicated when it comes about altcoins where the exchange will have to exchange this fee to the mystical "fee currency".
P.S. As i remember Kucoin also have the same feature that was described by lite.
you're right of course. calculating from the base currency or the other currency at the same percentage will still result in the same amount. don't know what i was thinking.
i think i got confused with trading volume and fee schedules. exchanges usually give discounts for fees according to 30-day trading volume. quoting trading volume in BTC vs in USD makes a difference because when BTC price go up, it's harder to get into the higher bracket with the same amount of trading in USD terms.
