discuss about Kraken new higher fee schedule

[vigsun]

Alas, the new fee schedule is higher than the old.

Although the initial rate is still low, but the volume more,  the fee will higher compared to other exchanges.

For the 0.1% fee rate, we need trade more than 1 million USD in 30 days on Kraken. However we can enjoy this discount only 0.5 million USD on LakeBTC.


If you trade less than $ 50,000 in the last 30 days, you can reach the fee:    0.35% on Kraken / 0.5% on LakeBTC / 0.5%~0.3% on Bitstamp.

If $ 50,000,   0.29% on Kraken / 0.4% on LakeBTC / 0.3% on Bitstamp.

If $ 100,000,   0.24% on Kraken / 0.3% on LakeBTC / 0.24% on Bitstamp.

If $ 200,000,   0.22% on Kraken / 0.2% on LakeBTC / 0.2% on Bitstamp.

If $ 300,000,   0.2% on Kraken / 0.2% on LakeBTC / 0.2% on Bitstamp.

If $ 400,000,   0.18% on Kraken / 0.2% on LakeBTC / 0.2% on Bitstamp.

If $ 500,000,   0.16% on Kraken / 0.1% on LakeBTC / 0.2% on Bitstamp.

If $ 600,000 or more,   0.15%~0.1% on Kraken / 0.1% on LakeBTC / 0.2% on Bitstamp.

With this structure, I will have to pay a fee of 0,35% instead of the 0,20% I am paying now. That's an increase of 75%.

Kraken is crazy, the trend is decreasing the fee since China joined the global bitcoin exchange market.

yawn..
that is a stupid that trading on Kraken if you are > $300,000 / month, it is appropriate for novice who trade  < $100,000 each month.
I like lakebtc dark pool, it completed bulk trade so quietly.
