Trading Spread Revenue
Coinswitch earns money primarily from the spread between buy and sell prices. When users swap one cryptocurrency for another, the platform applies a small margin on the quoted rate. This spread is built into the exchange rate shown before the transaction is confirmed.
Transaction and Service Fees
In addition to spreads, Coinswitch charges transaction fees on certain swaps and payment methods. These fees can vary based on the blockchain network, transaction size, and chosen payment option. Users typically see the fee details before completing a trade.
Affiliate and Partner Commissions
Coinswitch also generates revenue through affiliate partnerships and referral programs. When new users sign up or trade through partner links, Coinswitch may receive commissions from exchanges or service providers. This model is common among crypto comparison platforms.
