Gemini Exchange fees
ActiveTrader order book: maker 0.60% and taker 1.20% at the base tier, falling to 0.00% maker and 0.02% taker above $250M in 30-day volume. Simple buys, sells and conversions in the web and mobile app do not follow a published rate table. Gemini says the fee is calculated per order from payment method, order size, market conditions, jurisdiction and asset, shown on the trade review screen, plus a spread on Instant and Recurring orders. Those app trades can cost more than the ActiveTrader figure. The round trip shown is 2 x the base taker rate. On a $1,000 trade that you later sell, Gemini's own fees come to about $24.00. Network (gas/priority) fees and pool fees are charged on top.

Fees DexSheet doesn't count
- Network fees: Solana base + priority fees, or gas on EVM chains. Usually cents on Solana, but priority tips during busy launches can be more.
- Pool (LP) fees: the DEX pool the trade routes through takes its own cut (for example Pump.fun's bonding curve charges 1.25%).
- Price impact and slippage: on thin memecoin pools this is often bigger than every fee combined.
