Bullish review

The schedule distinguishes individual standard, token, stable, FX and promotional markets. These categories change execution pricing; recognizing an asset name is not enough. Check which category prices your pair and the resulting fee. A fee-free promotional category does not establish a permanent universal rate.

Spot buying creates exposure to the asset traded. It differs from options or futures even when the same help center covers them. Our spot and futures guide separates those choices. If buying to withdraw, continue the comparison through funding movements rather than stopping at execution.

One basis point is 0.01%, so 0.5 bps is 0.005%, not 0.5%. Individual standard pricing lists 0 bps maker and 0.5 bps taker. On a hypothetical EUR 10,000 execution in that category, taker costs EUR 0.50. This illustrates units rather than quoting every market.

Token pricing lists −1.5 bps maker and 2 bps taker, equivalent to −0.015% and 0.02%. On the same hypothetical EUR 10,000 notional, that means a EUR 1.50 maker rebate or EUR 2 taker charge. These are alternative scenarios, not amounts to add together or a guaranteed profit from placing orders.

Stable markets list 0 / 0.5 bps and FX 0 / 2.5 bps. FX taker therefore equals 0.025%. Promotional markets show 0 / 0 bps under the applicable category. This range is why the pair matters more than claiming the whole platform is fee-free.

Negative maker pricing can reduce execution costs or provide a rebate under the schedule, but trading outcomes still depend on price. An order may rest, fill partially or change exposure as the market moves. A fee incentive does not guarantee favorable execution.

Adding or removing liquidity matters more than an order label. A limit that crosses existing offers can act as taker. Our market and limit order guide helps you understand that before budgeting a rebate. Compare the execution you actually expect rather than a rate requiring different behavior.

Distinguish the expected fee from the one applied to each fill. Several partial fills do not by themselves establish how every execution was classified. Retain the breakdown to connect fees with liquidity, particularly across different schedule categories. On a hypothetical EUR 100,000 equivalent notional, 0.5 bps represents EUR 5 and 2 bps EUR 20. The EUR 15 difference follows those rates, but does not let you choose the cheaper category for an arbitrary asset. The market used determines the applicable row.

This separates two questions: what Bullish charges for execution and the price obtained while trading. A rebate can reduce the first figure without offsetting an unfavorable difference in the second.

The schedule referenced by European help lists no Bullish deposit fee. Withdrawals list EUR 2 for SEPA, free EUR BLINC and USD 30 for dollar bank wires. These are different methods, not interchangeable prices for every account or currency. Check which applies to the balance and approved operation.

On a hypothetical EUR 1,000 SEPA withdrawal, EUR 2 is 0.2% of the reference amount. That share is much larger than a standard 0.005% execution fee, even though withdrawal pricing is fixed. Trading-only comparisons can miss the dominant cost of a small transaction.

A receiving bank or provider can have separate terms. Plan the desired final currency and exit before funding. Converting currencies or changing assets to withdraw introduces another priced action. Our total-cost guide follows the whole route rather than treating bank movements as part of taker pricing.

Bullish Europe GmbH provides the account context discussed here. Trading and custody in one interface do not create a personal wallet: centralized balances and personally controlled keys carry different responsibilities. A European company does not itself remove market risk or guarantee immediate recovery of every balance.

Decide how much operational balance you need and arrange access, recovery and transfers. Our custody guide compares accounts and wallets without assigning undocumented guarantees.

Start with an approved spot market that serves your objective, identify its fee category and review the order notional. For liquidity provision, decide how partial fills will be handled; for immediate completion, budget the rate for removing liquidity. Pricing should follow the intended operation, rather than choosing an operation merely for a fee.

After execution, retain the amount and applied charge to compare with the expected category. Plan the exit in your required currency. An extra conversion route is not useful simply because one row has a small percentage. The funding guide helps organize those stages.

Kraken and Coinbase offer other trading modes, tiers and bank routes. Compare final asset quantity for simple buying or the same notional and execution type for order books. Basis-point pricing and a fixed quote need both unit and product-context conversion.

Bitstamp provides another reference for trading plus SEPA cash-outs. Bullish becomes relevant when the spot market and category suit your plan. Its European spot offering should not be presented as a derivatives substitute simply because the group schedule includes other products.
