Binance has announced a trading-fee discount promotion for all USDC-margined perpetual contracts on Binance Futures. The promotion includes a revised maker/taker fee schedule with an optional Binance Coin (BNB) payment discount during the promotional period.
According to Binance, USDC-margined perpetual contracts are crypto derivatives that use USD Coin (USDC) as collateral and settle profits and losses in USDC. This can simplify margin management for traders who prefer stablecoin-based accounting. On centralized venues, taker fees typically apply when orders remove liquidity, while maker fees apply when orders add liquidity. Short-term promotions that reduce taker costs are often aimed at boosting active participation and tightening spreads across heavily traded perpetual markets.
The promotion runs from December 10 at 08:00 UTC to February 10 at 08:00 UTC. It sets maker fees at 0.0000% across all listed VIP levels for USDC-margined perpetuals, while taker fees range from 0.0400% for regular users down to 0.0094% for VIP 9 (or 0.03600% to 0.00846% when paying with BNB for the said 10% discount). Binance also said that the new structure and updated USDC liquidity-provider rates go live at the start time with an estimated eight-hour update window, and any fee/rebate mismatches will be reconciled retroactively.
Binance’s futures education materials describe baseline fee dynamics that help frame the promotion’s discounts, noting that USDT- and coin-margined taker fees “start at 0.045%” and can decrease to 0.0153% based on VIP factors, while USDC taker fees “start at 0.036%” and can decrease to 0.0122%, alongside the platform’s emphasis that USDC-margined perpetuals can carry 0% maker fees.
Binance is a global cryptocurrency exchange operator founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao and Yi He, offering spot trading, derivatives including perpetual futures, and ancillary crypto services across many markets. Public profiles commonly describe Binance as operating internationally with a distributed footprint without a single official headquarters location.
