user74129: So basically I bought the equivalent of 100EUR in BTC with CoinBase (they took 3 EUR for this operation)
Now I would like to buy other currencies with binance, but if I try to send my BTC to my Binance BTC address it says the network fee are 13 USD.
Are them really so high? Is there something else that i could do?

user56382: You can pay a lower fee but this will risk it being stuck in the mempool forever—-not an advisable option.

user5757: You can see current Bitcoin transaction fees at https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/.  Right now it is suggesting a fee of about BTC 0.001 which is about USD 13, so that's about right.  Note that transaction fees don't depend on the amount transacted; you'd pay the same fee of about USD 13 whether you were sending the equivalent of USD 100 or USD 100,000.
A few weeks ago, the fees were 2-3 times higher than they are now.  This is something you have to take into account when thinking about trading and moving Bitcoin.
