What happened
CoinCentral scores seven platforms on maximum leverage, maker and taker fees and one feature that sets each apart. The Crypto Basic compares five multi-asset perpetual venues on asset range, fees, leverage and access, with every figure read on 21 September 2026.
It charges 0.019% maker and 0.060% taker and sets a $10 minimum deposit.
On the multi-asset side, EVEDEX lists 52 perpetual contracts made up of 39 crypto markets, five US equities, the SPY index, three commodities, two FX pairs and two pre-IPO markets. It charges 0.015% maker and 0.045% taker with no volume tiers. Aster charges 0% maker and 0.04% taker on USDT perpetuals, dYdX starts at 0.01% maker and 0.05% taker, and GMX applies a 0.04%, 0.06% position fee on open and close.
Why it matters
Fee schedules, leverage caps, collateral rules and funding intervals decide how much of a winning trade a trader keeps and how much room a losing one gives before liquidation. Margex settles funding at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC, so a trader who closes before the rollover pays nothing.
High leverage shrinks the buffer. ESMA found that 74, 89% of retail CFD accounts lose money, with average losses of €1,600 to €29,000 per client.
