Binance.US revised its spot market fee structure: makers now pay 0%, while takers pay just 0.02%. The new rates apply to all users and all trading pairs — no volume thresholds, no special account requirements. The exchange dropped its old tiered model, where fee rates depended on a user's trading level.
Previously, Binance.US had already offered zero fees, but only on select Bitcoin pairs. Now the exchange has extended that approach across the entire spot market.
How Other Exchanges Stack Up
According to data from exchange websites, Coinbase charges between 0.40% and 0.60% for low-volume users, while Kraken charges between 0.25% and 0.40%, scaling down as trading volume grows. The numbers speak for themselves: Binance.US's taker fee of 0.02% versus Coinbase's 0.40% is a 20x difference — which is where the exchange gets its claim of 98% savings.
The company also announced the completion of a SOC 2 Type II audit covering its systems and internal controls. Binance.US cited this milestone alongside the new fee launch, pointing to the health of its trading infrastructure.
