What shapeshift says is that their prism is such a good product, that people will not mind paying these fees for holding it. We'll see soon if they are right or wrong.

In short, its newest product, Prism, available today in closed beta, is less of an exchange and more a new way to trade cryptocurrencies, enabling users to create custom "prisms" by putting ether into a smart contract on the ethereum blockchain that is designed to mimic the price fluctuations of any of the hundreds of available cryptographic assets traded on exchanges.

Basically, you create a portfolio of different coins and shapeshift shorts it to you. You don't need to trust shapeshift, because your portfolio is secured by collateral in a smart contract, and you can settle it any time for ETH.
