Fees, Spreads, and the Quiet Leak (Free Guide)

Updated 2026-10-20. Written by John Alewine, Crypto Guidance, a trade name of Crypto Boutique LLC

A free guide to what a crypto trade actually costs: spread vs network fee vs bridge fee vs "free" card rewards, and how to see what you paid on Coinbase, on a DEX, and on a perp deposit. Enter your email and the download link appears right here.

No "best fee" crown. Just the layers, named, so you can check your own receipts.
