Every time you buy, sell or swap crypto on Coinstash, a trade fee applies. This article explains how it's calculated, how your Membership level can lower it, and where to see what you paid.
What is the trade fee?
The trade fee is a percentage charged when you buy, sell or swap digital assets on Coinstash. It's automatically applied to every trade and is calculated based on the total value of your transaction.
Standard trade fee
The standard trade fee on Coinstash is 0.6% of the trade amount. This applies to all users before any membership discounts are applied.
Membership-based trade fees
Your Coinstash Membership level determines the trade fee you pay for each transaction. Higher membership levels have lower trade fees.
Membership Level | Trade Fee |
Starter | 0.60% |
Bronze | 0.55% |
Silver | 0.50% |
Gold | 0.40% |
Platinum | 0.30% |
Diamond | 0.20% |
Black | 0.10% |
Nova | 0.00% |

Worked example
Using the rates in the table above, on a $1,000 trade:
At Starter (0.60%), the trade fee is $6.00.
At Gold (0.40%), the trade fee is $4.00.
At Nova (0.00%), there's no trade fee.
STASH Back and the trade fee
Users with STASH Back enabled are not entitled to any instant trade fee discounts. With STASH Back, you pay the standard trade fee and earn STASH Points instead. Fee Discounts is the default option, and you can switch between the two at any time. See What is STASH Back?
How the trade fee works
The fee is calculated before you place an order, so pricing is transparent.
You'll always see the fee displayed before completing your order, for example on the Preview Buy screen.
Trade fees are charged in fiat currencies and deducted from your total transaction amount.
The trade fee amount appears in your Trade History for full transparency.
FAQ
Is the trade fee the same as the spread? No. The trade fee is a percentage shown separately before you trade. The spread is the difference between the buy and sell price, and it's built into the price you see. See What is the Spread?
Do I pay a trade fee when I withdraw crypto? Withdrawals aren't trades. When you send crypto to an external wallet, a blockchain network fee applies instead. See How to Check Crypto Withdrawal Network Fees.
I'm paying 0.6% even though my level is higher. Check whether STASH Back is switched on in your Membership reward preference. With STASH Back on, the standard fee applies.
