Buying Crude Oil — Common Questions
01. What is the minimum amount to buy CL?
Hyperliquid's minimum order size varies by token — typically $1–$10 worth of CL. The Fexr AI assistant will alert you if your order falls below the minimum.
02. Do I need to verify my identity (KYC)?
No KYC required for eligible regions. Fexr is self-custody — you hold your own keys. Geographic restrictions apply (USA, UK retail, Ontario, Belgium, OFAC territories).
03. What fees apply when buying CL?
Hyperliquid spot: maker 0.01%, taker 0.035%. Fexr adds no fee on top. Arbitrum gas when depositing USDC is typically <$0.01.
04. Can I withdraw my CL?
There is nothing to withdraw but USDC. A CL perpetual is cash-settled: positions open and close in USDC, which withdraws via Arbitrum. Withdrawals always return to your own wallet — Fexr cannot send funds to third parties.
05. Is buying CL on Fexr safe?
Your funds stay in your own wallet. Fexr holds a capped, revocable trading permission — not custody of your assets. You can revoke it anytime.
