Excuse me, could you please clarify what the taker fee is on Coinbase? I'm trying to understand the cost structure associated with trading on this platform and how it may impact my transactions. I'm specifically interested in the fee that is charged to takers, as opposed to makers, in the market. Is there a fixed rate or does it vary based on certain factors? I appreciate your assistance in explaining this to me.

    One important aspect of fee calculation is the pricing tier system. This system categorizes traders based on their trading volume over a specified period, with higher tiers offering lower fees.

    When placing an order, the fee charged is determined by the pricing tier you are currently in, rather than the tier you may achieve after the trade is completed. This ensures fairness and transparency in fee assessment.

    For orders executed at market price that are filled immediately, traders are classified as "takers." Takers initiate trades by matching with existing orders on the order book.

    As takers, these traders pay a fee that ranges from 0.05% to 0.60% of the transaction value. The specific fee rate depends on the pricing tier they are in at the time of the trade.
