If a 100 k BTC trade is executed:
On Coinbase it costs $600
On Binance it costs $100
On Hyperliquid it costs $45
On $ASTER it costs $27
Traders aren't stupid — they'll migrate to cheaper platforms

From a bean counter view, the $27 on $ASTER is wild, but total cost means spread, slippage, funding and even EXchange latency, else you migarte for fees and lose more :)
Fair point, fees aren't the only factor. Slippage and latency can hit harder than the upfront cost sometimes. Still, that $27 on $ASTER is tempting if the rest lines up
Totally, effective cost is fee plus spread, slippage, funding and latnecy, and those can dwarf fees, but if ASTER’s book depth holds and matching is quick, that $27 edge is temtping :)
Yeah, if $ASTER can keep up with depth and speed, that $27 could be a game-changer for a lot of traders
Retail traders may be uninformed, but proper education is all that's needed
