Overview
- Binance.US, which announced the change Wednesday, set maker fees at 0% and taker fees at 0.02% across every spot pair.
- The pricing took effect immediately for all users with no volume tiers, which CEO Stephen Gregory framed as relief for traders who “have been paying too much for too long.”
- Makers post orders that add liquidity to the book, while takers fill orders right away and usually pay more, so cutting taker fees directly lowers the cost of instant trades.
- Compared with Coinbase’s public retail fees of roughly 0.40% to 0.60%, the new Binance.US rates offer a steep discount that could matter most to small, frequent trades.
- CoinGecko showed about $14.8 million in 24-hour volume on Binance.US, highlighting a rebuild after a 2023 SEC lawsuit led to a long halt of dollar transfers that the exchange says it has now restored.
