Are There Any Fees for Receiving Crypto on Pluang?
Receiving crypto into your Pluang account is free — Pluang does not charge a network fee, VAT, or platform fee on an incoming deposit, whether it comes from another Pluang user or an external wallet on another platform, and regardless of the amount received. This is the opposite of Crypto Send, where sending crypto out to an external wallet carries a network fee plus VAT; on the receive side there is no equivalent charge. The one cost that can still apply sits outside Pluang: if someone sends you crypto from another exchange or wallet, that platform may deduct its own withdrawal or network fee on its side before the transfer leaves, so the amount that arrives can be slightly less than what was sent. That deduction is set by the sending platform, not by Pluang, which takes nothing for crediting the deposit.
Good to know:
- No Pluang fee on incoming crypto: no network fee, VAT, or platform fee is charged by Pluang for receiving a deposit.
- Free regardless of source: from another Pluang user or an external wallet, receiving costs nothing on Pluang's side.
- Free regardless of amount: a large deposit costs the same as a small one — zero, with no percentage or tiered fee.
- Sending is different: Crypto Send carries a network fee plus VAT when moving crypto out to an external wallet; that applies to the outgoing direction only.
- The sending platform may charge on its side: another exchange or wallet can deduct its own withdrawal or network fee before the transfer leaves — outside Pluang's control.
- A wrong-network deposit is a loss, not a fee: a deposit sent over the wrong network can be permanently lost — an irreversible error, which is why matching the network matters.
Related questions:
Q: Does the source of the crypto affect whether receiving is free?
No. Receiving is free on Pluang's side whether from another Pluang user or an external wallet — no network fee, VAT, or platform fee. The only caveat is external: the sending platform may deduct its own withdrawal or network fee before the transfer leaves, slightly reducing what arrives.
Q: Is there a network fee for receiving crypto, like there is for sending?
No. Network fees on Pluang apply to Crypto Send, not Crypto Receive. The blockchain fee for an incoming transfer is paid by the sender on their side as part of broadcasting — it isn't billed to you by Pluang for receiving.
Q: Does receiving a large amount of crypto cost more than a small amount?
No. Receiving is free regardless of amount — no percentage or tiered charge. A large transfer may take longer to appear while the blockchain confirms it, but that's timing, not cost. There's also no daily cap on receiving.
Q: Are there any hidden charges for crypto deposits?
No. Pluang charges nothing — visible or hidden — for receiving crypto, across every supported coin and network. The only cost comes from the sending platform's own withdrawal or network fee, which it discloses on its side.
Q: If receiving is free, why did I receive slightly less than was sent?
Almost always because the sending platform deducted its own withdrawal or network fee before releasing the transfer. Pluang takes nothing for crediting a deposit, so the shortfall is generally the sender-side platform's fee. Pluang credits the amount that actually arrived on-chain.
