Crypto.com Fees Overview
- Fees Structure: Crypto.com charges $0.01 to $0.0175 per contract on taker orders, scaled to where the contract is priced, and nothing at all on maker orders. Settlement is free either way, so a winner held to resolution only costs you on entry.
- Key Benefit: A balanced trading environment with low fees and high position limits, ensuring fair pricing, strong liquidity, and minimal risk of market manipulation.

Crypto.com is a legal prediction market app available in 49 U.S. states.
On Crypto.com, users buy and sell contracts tied to real-world outcomes, including sports, politics, weather, and other event markets. Each contract is priced between $0 and $1, and that price reflects how likely the market thinks an outcome is.
Crypto.com charges fees when you enter a position and when you close one early. Taking the posted price costs $0.01 to $0.0175 per contract, with the rate scaled to how the contract is priced, while posting a limit order costs nothing.
A round trip taken at market therefore lands between $0.02 and $0.035 per contract, and holding a winner to settlement means paying only once.
Crypto.com Pricing & Fees
Pricing on Crypto.com is driven entirely by other traders, with contract values moving as users buy and sell based on how they see the outcome.
Fees work off two variables. The first is where the contract is trading, and the second is whether you take an existing price or post your own and wait.
Here's how that breaks down:
| Action | Cost per contract |
|---|---|
| Taker order (taking the posted price) | $0.01 to $0.0175 |
| Maker order (posting a limit order) | Free |
| Position settles in your favor | No fee on $1 contracts; $0.10 exchange fee on $10 contracts |
| Position settles against you | No fee, you lose your stake |
Here's how to interpret the table above:
- Taking the price and holding to settlement costs you between 1% and 1.75% of what a winning contract pays out. The charge lands once, on entry, and the exchange takes nothing when your side resolves.
- Taking the price on both ends doubles that to somewhere between 2% and 3.5%, since exiting early triggers a second charge. Every reposition repeats it.
- Posting a limit order removes the charge altogether. Wait for someone to match your price, and Crypto.com collects nothing from you on that side of the trade.
Contract price decides where you land in that range. A market sitting near a coin flip carries the full rate, while long shots and heavy favorites come in nearer the floor.
Compare any of those numbers against a sportsbook, which quietly keeps 4% to 8% through the line itself, and Crypto.com comes out ahead in every scenario. The wider point is that you can see exactly what you're paying here, and you have two levers to reduce it: work limit orders, and stop closing positions you meant to hold.
Position Limits
Crypto.com sets limits on the total position size in a single market. This is a standard measure to prevent overexposure and maintain fair and stable trading activity.
Each “Prediction Event” has a maximum cap on the number of open contracts allowed:
- For $1 contracts, the limit is 2,500,000 open positions per event.
- For $10 contracts, the limit is 250,000 open positions per event.
These limits apply to your total exposure across both “Yes” and “No” contracts within the same market.
For most traders, these caps are more than sufficient. They exist to keep markets liquid and ensure that no single user can influence prices or outcomes by holding an outsized position.
