    Exchanges don't set the price. The people that sell the currency do. Exchanges set their fees. So if the fees are low, there will be advantages obviously for the buyer/seller at that exchange.

      Can't seem to find a site with less than .20% transaction fees.

        The lowest as far as I know for now is on Bithumb @ 0.15% and it's not fixed for all transactions, the larger the amount the less the fee or you can also use coupons which will decrease the fee up to 0.075%

        Don't expect them to get much lower than that. They need to pay for operations and hope to make a profit. If not might as well shut the lights off.

        You do realize that's less than one percent, right?

        That's basically a free transaction.

        They make their money by processing thousands of transactions each day. That's why the percentage is so low.
