 "skip_if": "you're outside the EU (it's euro-centric), you trade exotic altcoins it doesn't list, or you need derivatives-first infrastructure",
 "honest_knock": "The honest caveats are crypto-wide, not Bitvavo-specific: fees are only part of the cost (spread matters on small orders), and no exchange removes market risk — the platform being cheap and MiCA-regulated doesn't make the assets safe. Note the disclosure: this is one of the few tools here we genuinely run — our own trading system executes on Bitvavo — which is experience, but also means we're an actual customer, not a neutral bystander.",

  "notes": "(re-verified 2026-08-18, read on their own fees page) No subscription — you pay per trade. EUR markets (Category A) run ten volume tiers. It is 0.15% maker / 0.25% taker below €100,000 of 30-day volume, then 0.10%/0.20% from €100,000, 0.09%/0.18% from €250,000, 0.08%/0.16% from €500,000 and 0.05%/0.14% from €1,000,000. Above that: 0.03%/0.12% from €2,500,000, 0.01%/0.10% from €5,000,000, 0.00%/0.08% from €10,000,000, 0.00%/0.04% from €25,000,000 and 0.00%/0.02% above €100,000,000. USDC markets (Category B) are a separate schedule from 0.05% maker and taker, and stablecoin pairs (Category C) from 0.10%; Bitvavo states that stablecoin trades do not count towards the 30-day volume that sets your tier. Deposits are free by SEPA, iDEAL/Wero, Apple Pay and Bancontact; a credit card costs 1%, PayPal 2% and EPS or Giropay 1.75%. Margin positions carry a separate hourly borrowing fee, published at 0.0023% an hour on every listed asset, plus a 2% fee if the position is liquidated.",
