Buy BAL on KuCoin →The cheapest exchange isn't always the best choice. Exchanges with 0% fees may compensate through wider spreads, meaning you pay more per BAL even though the listed fee is zero. For trades under $1,000, the fee difference between exchanges is typically less than $1 — at that level, trust and ease of use matter more.
For larger orders, the fee savings become meaningful. A $10,000 buy at 0.10% costs $10 in fees vs. $40 at 0.40%. Consider using limit orders on high-volume exchanges to get maker pricing and further reduce costs.
