The name says it all, really. In the increasingly crowded world of cryptocurrencies<\/strong> and DeFi services<\/strong>, you’d be forgiven for thinking that any platform that managed to secure the domain name ‘crypto.com<\/a>‘ must be the go-to service in the arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there may be some truth to that, we’re going to take a careful look at Crypto.com<\/strong><\/a>, highlight some of its advantages and disadvantages and see if the name really means as much as it should. First of all, though\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Crypto.com?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Crypto.com<\/a> is an exchange that allows you to buy, sell, and store over 250 different cryptocurrencies at a relatively low cost. As well as granting you access to the Bitcoins and Ethers of the world, it also allows you to trade NFTs, invest in its native CRO token<\/strong> and venture into rather more exotic order types like crypto futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its all-encompassing nature, there are several distinct benefits to using Crypto.com<\/a> that make it a popular and appealing platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Advantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Low Crypto Transaction Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like most exchanges, Crypto.com uses maker-taker fees<\/strong> to boost market liquidity. This means you pay a different trading fee depending on whether your crypto order is ‘making’ liquidity or ‘taking’ it. So, for example, if the crypto asset you want to trade is currently unavailable, you’ll be charged a reduced ‘maker’ fee because your pending order is increasing market liquidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversely, if your order is fulfilled immediately, you’ll be charged a higher ‘taker’ fee as you’re removing liquidity. With Crypto.com<\/a>‘s ‘maker’ fees ranging from 0.4% to 0.04% depending on the trading volume and ‘taker’ fees ranging from 0.04% to 0.1%, they’re certainly competitive, although not necessarily the cheapest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, further discounts are available on these fees if you hold a minimum of 5,000 CRO in your wallet. With that amount, you get a 10% reduction in transaction fees<\/strong>, the reductions rising to 100% if you hold more than 50 billion CRO (an unlikely amount to hold, admittedly). That said, with no additional per-trade fees, no charges to deposit funds in your account and free crypto-to-crypto exchanges, the platform provides a remarkably affordable way to trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepaid Visa Cards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Much like a rewards card, Crypto.com offers a range of prepaid Visa cards<\/strong><\/a> that allow you to conveniently spend your cryptocurrency holdings. That said, the rewards the cards pay depend greatly on whether you hold any of the platform’s CRO tokens. With the Visa cards coming in five varieties, the entry-level card, ‘Midnight Blue’, requires no CRO staking, while the most rewarding card, ‘Obsidian’, is only obtainable with a $500,000 CRO stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While each of the cards offers rebates on services like Netflix and Spotify and ‘cash back’ of anywhere from 1% to 8%, it should be noted that the 8% figure is only available if you hold around $400,000 worth of CRO. What’s more, the term ‘cash back’ is technically more ‘crypto back’ with your rewards paid in CRO tokens \u2014 and their value can vary dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n
