Same Exchange, 3.5x the Fee: Modeling Regional Crypto Fee Schedules in TypeScript
Last week I wrote about a crypto calculator that shows what five exchanges give you after fees. Its example table said a market order costs 0.10% on Bybit and 0.10% on OKX.

Last week, a crypto calculator revealed discrepancies in fees across five major exchanges for European residents. Bybit and OKX had the same 0.10% fee for market orders on global platforms, but their fees on EEA platforms ranged from 0.25% to 0.35%. This difference amounted to 2.5 to 3.5 times the fee rate.
