How it works: funding, P2P prices, slippage and fees
Funding, P2P quotes, order fills and transfer networks each work differently. These guides take one at a time, with the calculations left on the page.
- Perpetual futures funding rate: what it costs to hold overnight Funding is charged on position notional, not on your margin. The arithmetic of what a perpetual costs to carry for a day, a week or a month.
- Reading P2P prices without overpaying How to benchmark a P2P quote against the spot mid, read a merchant listing properly, and recognise the rate that is a warning rather than a bargain.
- Why your market order filled worse than the price you saw The ticker shows the last trade, not an offer to you. A level-by-level walk through an order book, separating spread, slippage and fee.
- USDT withdrawal fees on Binance, network by network Binance’s USDT withdrawal fee on all nineteen networks, checked 2026-10-13: Tron costs most at 1.5 USDT, Ethereum 0.5, BNB Smart Chain 0.01. What lands on 20, 100 and 1,000.
- Maker or taker: how order type changes what you pay A maker adds liquidity, a taker removes it. What sets your fee is whether the order filled immediately, not which order type you selected on the ticket.
- Binance Convert fee: how far the quote sits from the spot price Convert shows no fee, so the cost sits in the quote. The order-book figure a quote has to beat, read for five pairs on 2026-10-18, and how to check yours in a minute.
- The real cost of a $100 or $1,000 crypto buy: fee, spread and slippage in one number On 2026-10-21 a 1,000 USDT buy cost 1.00 USDT on bitcoin and 3.70 on a thin coin. How fee, spread and slippage add up, and how to price your own buy first.
