What’s new? Customers of cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com reported high fees for processing orders to sell the ALI token. A Twitter user under the nickname Yogi83 wrote that he bought $50 worth of ALI a few weeks ago before the asset’s rate rose. Had he attempted to sell the coins, the platform’s fee would have been $60 or about 38% of the entire amount.

A user under the nickname Trading Buzz complained about an even higher fee. He tried to withdraw ALI tokens and “remained utterly shocked” when he saw the 50% fee for the transaction.

The Crypto.com team responded to the incident and asked the user to write a message to support with all the details.
