Question 1

1.1 Why are there fees?

Accepted Answer

Fees cover the costs of the services that make every operation possible: the payment networks behind deposits and withdrawals, the technology infrastructure, the custody of your crypto-assets and the guarantee of a firm price at the moment you place an order. On Young Platform every cost component is disclosed before confirmation: the order summary shows the exchange rate applied, the total value and any fees, and on completion you receive a summary confirmation. The full details are in the guide Fees, minimum and maximum amounts on Young Platform.

Question 2

1.2 What is the Spread and how is it calculated?

Accepted Answer

Young Platform operates as a bilateral trading platform: when you buy or sell, your counterparty is Young Platform itself, which guarantees you a firm price at the moment of the operation. That price is made of an objective reference value — calculated by aggregating in real time the quotes of the main market venues — and a margin, the Spread, already included in the price you see before confirming (it is never charged separately). The size of the Spread depends on the crypto-asset’s class: Class A (market capitalisation ≥ 50 billion dollars) between 0.40% and 0.80%; Class B (≥ 1 billion) between 0.60% and 1.00%; Class O (< 1 billion, typically less liquid) between 0.80% and 1.50%; Class S (e-money tokens, more stable) between 0.10% and 0.30%. For your protection, the Spread applied can never exceed the maximum of the class. The full pricing method is published on the Fees and Pricing page.

The main way is the Young Platform Club. Clubs are not subscriptions: joining involves no payment, but the locking of an amount of YNG tokens for a minimum of 90 days — after which you can unlock them whenever you like. Depending on the Club you reach, you get discounted fees on your operations, alongside the programme’s other benefits. Tiers, required YNG amounts and discounts are on the Clubs page.

Accepted Answer

Yes: crypto-assets in staking (ETH, SOL, TIA and ATOM) carry a 15% withdrawal fee, with a minimum for each crypto-asset, as shown in the staking table on the Fees and Pricing page. The fee concerns staked crypto-assets only: it does not apply to the YNG token, whose locking for Club membership is free. Opening a stake has no activation cost. For how staking works, see the Staking FAQ.

Question 14

4.3 Are there custody costs for crypto-assets?

Accepted Answer

No: holding euro and crypto-assets in your Young Platform account carries no custody or maintenance costs, and creating the account is free too. You only pay for the operations you carry out, according to the fees described on this page.
