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.
So I put $50 in this coin a few weeks ago and it’s been on a nice run. I went to see how much I would get if I sold. @cryptocom would take $60 in fees to sell that’s 38%. Yall need to do better. That’s ridiculous. @kris pic.twitter.com/OYvy3wR6pl — Yogi83🍣 (@yogir83) February 8, 2023
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.
Are you having some technical problems @cryptocom? I tried to withdraw some $ALI and i remained utterly shocked to see 50% withdrawal fees. Is this some technical glitch? #crofam #Cryptocom — Trading Buzz (@buzz_ingg) February 7, 2023
