Leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced zero fees for certain USDC trading pairs, which will impact the market and provide additional benefits for traders.
Zero Fees on Binance
According to an announcement by Binance dated August 12, 2025, zero fees now apply to the BNB/USDC, ADA/USDC, TRX/USDC, and XRP/USDC trading pairs. This offer will be valid until October 11, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. (UTC).
Eligible participants for this offer include Spot Liquidity Providers (SLPs) and VIP Users 2-9. Typically, Binance charges maker fees for traders who add liquidity to the order book, while taker fees apply to those who remove liquidity. However, these eligible traders will not be subject to these fees for the next two months.
Market Reaction to Binance's Decision
The decisions of Binance, made following routine checks, are aimed at enhancing the value and competitiveness of its services. These checks sometimes lead to the delisting or relisting of assets.
Such decisions typically have both positive and negative impacts on the affected coins. For instance, the current price of XRP is down by 1.05%, while ADA is trading at $0.8013 after a 0.96% rally in the last 24 hours. BNB and TRX have also shown gains of 1.2% and 1.84% respectively.
Altcoin LiquidityBoost Program
In addition to introducing zero fees for the aforementioned trading pairs, Binance continues to invest in the growth of the crypto industry across various regions. Two months ago, the company announced a new program called the "Altcoin LiquidityBoost Program," aimed at supporting smaller market-making firms.
The program aims to improve market liquidity for 18 altcoin pairs including STO/USDT, SYRUP/USDT, SXT/USDT, and more. This initiative provides smaller entities with more opportunities in the market by enhancing trading and price efficiency for selected altcoins.
The recent changes implemented by Binance are aimed at stimulating trading activity and supporting the development of the cryptocurrency market while ensuring competitive trading conditions.
