How these numbers were read

Options fees (3/3 bps with a 12.5% premium cap) are not represented in this schema. Derivatives-focused exchange, now part of Coinbase. Crypto withdrawal fees are not fixed on the official Fees article (on-chain network fee applies); the public get_currencies endpoint exposes the current per-currency withdrawal_fee, recorded below. USDT is withdrawable on Ethereum only (no TRC20 route). Insurance fund: "approximately $140 million" at year-end 2024 per official Insights update. live_chat_support = true via 24/7 live support staff in public Telegram chat rooms (EN/ZH/RU) per the official Contact Us article (403 — via search excerpt); not an in-app widget. proof_of_reserves: daily PoR page discontinued 2026-09-01, but the same notice states independent PoR audits continue twice a year, so recorded true.
