Binance Revises Zero-Fee Trading Campaign, Standard Taker Fees to Apply on Major Pairs from January 29

2 hour ago 3 sources neutral

Key takeaways:

  • Binance's fee policy shift signals a strategic move towards sustainable revenue streams over aggressive user acquisition.
  • The selective application of taker fees on major pairs may increase short-term trading costs, potentially dampening high-frequency spot and margin activity.
  • Maintaining zero maker fees incentivizes liquidity provision, which could stabilize order books for key assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL.

Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced significant updates to its Zero Transaction Fee campaign, affecting all users. The changes are scheduled to take effect on January 29, 2026, at 03:00 (UTC+3).

In an official announcement, Binance stated the revision is part of its effort to "offer its users more competitive and sustainable services by regularly reviewing its promotions." Specifically, the zero transaction fee offer under the VIP Program will be revised.

The key change involves the application of standard taker fees for all users conducting spot and margin trading on the following major trading pairs: BTC/FDUSD, BNB/FDUSD, DOGE/FDUSD, ETH/FDUSD, LINK/FDUSD, SOL/FDUSD, and XRP/FDUSD. This marks a shift from the previous fully zero-fee structure for these pairs.

However, Binance confirmed that maker fees will remain at zero for these specific pairs. Additionally, the exchange clarified that spot and margin trading volumes generated from these currency pairs will continue to be included in the calculations for Market Maker status and VIP level tiers for all users starting from the effective date.
