When discussing crypto ETFs, many investors naturally focus on fees. Indeed, lower fees mean more capital remains in your account — an indisputable fact. But should this really be the primary driver in investment decisions?



According to market analysts, the answer is not absolute. While fee structures are important, they should not be the sole factor in choosing an ETF. Investment decisions require a comprehensive consideration of multiple dimensions: liquidity performance, tracking error, institutional support, fund size, and even the reputation and stability of the issuer.

An ETF with slightly higher fees but strong liquidity and precise tracking may outperform a lower-cost product with sparse trading volume in the long run. Costs include not only fees but also implicit costs, such as spread impacts during large transactions.

Therefore, when selecting ETFs, it’s wise to broaden your perspective — consider fees as an important reference, but don’t let them be the only deciding factor.

Low fees are also dependent on liquidity; otherwise, slippage will wipe you out.

The low-fee trap does exist... Liquidity is the real thing, and slippage eats up more than the transaction fee.

I've also fallen into the low-fee trap. Poor liquidity can really eat up the small amount of fees you save, making it not worth it.

Don't just focus on fees; slippage is the real killer.
