Coinbase One members who expect zero-fee trading benefits will still be charged the DEX service fee, meaning membership does not eliminate this cost.
Interpretive note: The excerpt uses 'This service fee' as a reference, which implies a previously defined DEX service fee. The canonical claim preserves that reference without defining the fee amount, which is not stated in this excerpt.
The updated fee schedule removes the previously disclosed 1% fee for instant unstaking and replaces it with a variable fee disclosed only at the time you request to unstake. The change also expands instant unstaking fees to apply when converting a pending standard unstake to an instant unstake. Under the revised terms, you will not know the exact fee until you initiate the transaction, which removes the price certainty previously available.
