As of today, 4 January 2024, default fees will be charged automatically on your account, in accordance with applicable laws. The amount will be determined based on costs incurred by Bittrex Global in maintaining assets in default on the platform and will be reviewed every six months. Initial fees, which will be incurred from today, will be set at a rate of 1% per asset per month, with a minimum charge of up to $20 per asset per month.
