Und warum sind eigentlich bei BTC->XMR 5% Gebühren?

Die Gebühren sind seit Anfang Februar so hoch, als erst OKX und dann Binance angekündigt hat Monero zu delisten.
Als sich der Monero Kurs wieder einigermaßen beruhigt hat, gab es aber die offizielle Ankündigung das die Tauschgebühren zukünftig bei 5% verbleiben würden:

The service fee increase is a loss prevention mechanism of our exchange and usually only affects highly volatile coins, which in that case was XMR. Don't forget that we don't resell Binance like other swappers, so charging 0.5% which often causes a loss of our own reserves is not always an option.

The first service fee spike for XMR pairs was caused by OKX delisting XMR.

The second service fee spike for XMR pairs was caused by Binance attacking XMR by delisting announcement and price manipulation involving various techniques not obvious to most people (except ones who have been here enough to know how all this speculative market works and has nothing in common with tech)

As a service that provides its own liquidity for trades, we have to protect our liquidity from extreme volatily in order to prevent losing our capital.

If we increase a price by 5% 10% or 22% it means we only do it to protect ourselves from some factors currently affecting the coin's price and not to make extra gains.

We are barely able to make any profits even with a current 5% service fee but it's at least a good (and only) mean of protection against high volatility.

However, we are considering to keep 5% on selling XMR in future because our service is now used by many other services with a purpose of mixing, therefore it's absolutely inconvenient for us to work hard acquiring XMR then give it away for nothing to some other service that makes considerable gains based off our hard work acquiring XMR. Same for users who only use eXch for mixing their BTC through XMR - we don't consider it honest when some of them complain about 5% for the level anonymity they will take from our service without recurring to chaining their funds flow through different services that might cost them far more than just 5% (and who are often eXch's resellers).

Ist natürlich sehr schade, aber es gab (gibt?) auch Zeiten, wo alle paar Minuten keine XMR mehr zu tauschen waren. Wird halt aus bekannten Gründen gerne genutzt.
