Storing Bitcoin and other Crypto on Unocoin

Starting from March 2023, Unocoin is introducing custodial fees of 0.0001 BTC per month for inactive trading accounts. This fee is inclusive of 18% GST

So, why are we doing this?

The decision to start applying custodial fees was not easy, especially when many of the exchanges do not charge this explicitly. Since 2013, we have applied some of the world’s best technologies to secure crypto deposits of our customers. There is a service and maintenance fee that Unocoin pays to provide the crypto deposit, withdrawal and storage services. There is also a fee that we pay to evaluate individual crypto deposits and withdrawals to detect any illicit trail behind such deposits or with withdrawal addresses. Cold storage solution which holds more than 90% of crypto deposits is completely managed by Unocoin. On the other hand, when our customers trade, the fee we get from them helps us cover some of these costs. So, this custodial fee is only applicable for inactive accounts.
