    The current fee structure states that a buyer or seller trading less than $500 would be subject to a 0.50% fee.  However, the revised proposal will mean that traders spending less than $20,000 will incur a 0.25% charge.

    A spokesperson for Bitstamp has confirmed that the fee rounding policy will remain unaltered.
