TRADING FEES
FalconX’s OTC desk operates on an all inclusive quote-based pricing model, ensuring total clarity and no hidden charges for our clients. All fees are incorporated into the quote price provided to the client prior to trade execution and there are no additional charges.
The spread between the market (spot) price and quoted price to the client reflects the margin on our services and covers FalconX's operational costs. The spread on a given quote price is a function of the following parameters:
- Asset liquidity – More liquid assets in general have lower spreads compared to less liquid assets (e.g. BTC will have tighter spreads vs SHIB).
- Market volatility - Higher volatility assets in general have greater execution risk leading to higher spreads (e.g. SHIB will have wider spreads vs USDC).
- Trade size – Larger trades have a higher execution risk leading to higher spreads (e.g. 10 BTC prices will be wider than 0.1 BTC).
- Time of trade execution – Pricing will vary subject to underlying market conditions (e.g. wider pricing around key economic events like FOMC meeting).
