Binance has announced changes to its Link and Trade program, affecting the base rebate rates and eligibility criteria for brokers. By October 1, 2025, brokers must meet Bronze tier criteria to remain eligible in the program.
According to Binance, the Link and Trade program allows broker and trading platforms to connect directly with Binance, offering trading rebates when users trade via the partner interface. The update is intended to align benefits with partner activity rather than passive eligibility, promoting active engagement and adherence to program standards.
Beginning October 1, 2025, brokers in the Link and Trade program must meet the minimum requirements of the Bronze tier each quarter to maintain eligibility. Partners failing to meet this threshold will be disqualified from receiving any rebates. This measure introduces a quarterly performance checkpoint designed to uphold the program’s integrity.
The restructuring also eliminates default base rebates—previously set at 20% on Binance Spot and 10% on Binance Futures regardless of engagement or tier. With these rebates removed, all partners must now actively qualify for rebate benefits by meeting tier criteria. Binance has encouraged partners to review Bronze tier requirements to ensure continuity of their benefits under the new model.
Founded in 2017, Binance has grown into the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. It offers services that span spot and derivatives trading, staking, lending, institutional platforms, and Web3 infrastructure. By refining its rebate programs like the Link and Trade incentives, Binance demonstrates a continued focus on building robust, performance-based ecosystems that support sustainable partner and user engagement.
