Binance Introduces Zero-Fee Trading for FDUSD Pairs
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced on Tuesday its plan to launch zero-fee trading for six trading pairs involving First Digital USD (FDUSD). This initiative coincided with a notable jump in Bitcoin (BTC) prices to $42k, triggering positive sentiments among traders and potentially boosting global trading volume.
Zero-Fee Trading Offered on Six Pairs
As part of this announcement, Binance will facilitate zero-fee trading for the following pairs in both spot and margin trading:
- BNB/FDUSD
- DOGE/FDUSD
- ETH/FDUSD
- LINK/FDUSD
- SOL/FDUSD
- XRP/FDUSD
This promotional offer is set to commence on December 8, 2023, at 00:00 (UTC) and will remain valid until further notice. During this period, users engaging in trading these specific pairs will benefit from zero maker and taker fees. However, it’s important to note that standard trading fees will be applicable once the promotional period concludes.
Binance highlighted that the trading volume from these specific spot and margin trading pairs will not be considered for VIP tier volume calculations and liquidity provider programs during the promotional period. This exclusion applies to relevant programs where applicable.
Additionally, these trading pairs will be exempt from BNB fee discounts, fee rebates, or any other form of fee adjustments. The six pairs will also be excluded from promotions provided by Binance during the promotional period.
