Binance.US slashes fees to near zero trading

Binance.US has reduced spot trading fees to 0% for makers and 0.02% for takers across all trading pairs, eliminating tiered pricing structures.

The exchange said the new model applies to all users without volume thresholds or subscription requirements and could lower trading costs by up to 98% compared with rivals.

The pricing overhaul positions Binance.US below competitors such as Coinbase and Kraken, where fees for retail traders remain significantly higher.

The move follows the appointment of Stephen Gregory and expands earlier zero-fee offerings on select Bitcoin pairs to the entire spot market.

The company said the fee cuts are supported by its infrastructure and recent completion of a SOC 2 Type II audit covering internal systems and controls. Following the announcement the Binance.US share price was unchanged at $XX.

The announcement comes as traditional finance firms such as Charles Schwab prepare to launch spot crypto trading, signalling intensifying competition in the US market.

Binance continues to face regulatory scrutiny following its 2023 settlement with US authorities, with lawmakers in 2026 calling for further reviews of its compliance amid reports of illicit transaction flows, which the company has denied.

At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $78,220.85.
