The following are Venmos Cryptocurrency-related transaction fees.
The transaction fees are last updated as of August 22nd, 2021.

Venmo Cryptocurrency Update: August 27th, 2021. I made my first purchase on Venmo’s Cryptocurrency market this afternoon at 4:01 PM. I spent $50 on Bitcoin (BTC) at $47,304.62 and received 0.0010506 BTC. I incurred a 2.3% purchase few bringing the total to $51.15. In addition to this fee, I ended up with $49.75 in BTC. This amount was due to paying a bit higher for the coin due to a currency conversion fee. I never came across this fee in any of my Venmo fees research until now. The way the math works out, I paid $51.40 for $50.00. That is a total of 2.8% in fees. Later, I did sell $1.50 of the coin when it reached $51.51 to see how the selling functionality worked and did only pay the $0.50 sale fee for this amount, and it was instantly available in my Venmo balance.
