Fees in USD terms (see Fees, Transaction, Median, USD; Fees, Transaction, Mean, USD, and Fees, Total, USD) are often biased by volatility in unit price, making it difficult to determine trends in fee pressure. Evaluating fees in native unit terms removes the noise from exchange rate volatility and enables more consistent time series comparisons.
