Hi. I have a coinbase account and I saw a "network fee" of $20+ just to send $80 worth of BTC to an account I have at binance. However, I noticed that by moving the $80 worth of LTC to my binance account, the "network fee" was about $2. I am new to this crypto currency exchange, but it seems that there are different fees associated with different altcoins. I believe it has something to do with how the coins are maintained on the network.
So what you could do is exchange the BTC to another type of coin like LTC in-house to the platform (i.e. coinbase) which is usually a lower fee in the $2 or $3 range. Then send that LTC to another platform like binance so that you are not paying HI transfer fees.
