Fees to buy Digital Assets in Denmark

If you are interested in buying Cryptocurrencies in Denmark, you may want to know the fees and costs involved. Fortunately, when using a platform like eToro you pay very few fees throughout your onboarding journey. For example, there are no trading fees on the platform thanks to their zero commissions on all assets.

The only fee users will need to consider is the EUR deposit fee, which is a flat rate of 50bps or 0.5% in total. This is low compared to industry competitors like Coinbase which charge a flat rate of 1.99% for USD deposits, and 2.99% for EUR deposits due to the conversion fees required to swap to USD on the platform.

Is Crypto popular in Denmark?

Yes, cryptocurrency is gaining popularity in Denmark. Cryptocurrency trading volume in Denmark has tripled since early 2017, according to data from Bitcoinity.org. The Danish Central Bank released a report in August 2017 that concluded that "it is not currently possible to accurately assess the size and development of the use of virtual currencies in Denmark." However, the report noted that "a large part" of the trading volume of virtual currencies in Denmark is likely due to speculative investments.
