What fees does Newton charge?

Newton charges a fee on trades. The trading fee is the difference between the bid (what you can sell at) and the ask price (what you can buy at).

We don’t charge for funding or withdrawals, and we even cover the first $5 in network fees when you withdraw crypto for many assets For some networks, paid options are available for faster crypto withdrawal speeds. Please keep in mind that when network fees surge due to volume, you will be required to pay the remainder.  Learn more about how this works.

What are trading fees and how do they work?

The trading fee is the difference between the price that a buyer is willing to pay for a coin and the price that a seller is willing to accept for that same coin. Not to toot our own horn, but we’ve got some of the tightest fees (aka: best prices) in the industry.

ճԹϺcurrency exchanges seem to get hacked a lot. What’s your hacking prevention plan?

Newton enforces security requirements internally, including mandatory password rules, internal security audits, and conducts regular penetration testing.

We rely on trusted-third party custodians to store the vast majority of our customer crypto assets in secure locations with no access to the internet (aka “cold storage”).

Our customers’ custodied assets are also insured against hacks and theft.
