(SeaPRwire) –   Binance.US has reduced spot trading fees for all its listed cryptocurrencies as part of a new initiative to attract users. The platform now applies 0% maker fees and 0.02% taker fees to every trading pair. This step is taken as the exchange aims to expand following an extended period of slow trading activity, and it comes on the heels of reinstating U.S. dollar deposit and withdrawal services.

Binance.US introduces near-zero fees for its entire spot market

Binance.US revealed its new pricing structure on Wednesday, noting that the fee adjustments apply to all digital assets listed on its spot market. Maker fees are now at 0%, and taker fees are fixed at 0.02%.

The exchange stated that the new rates are designed to lower trading costs for U.S.-based users. CEO Stephen Gregory said, ”American crypto traders have been overpaying for far too long.” He further noted that a regulated U.S. platform is capable of providing affordable trading options.

Maker fees are incurred when traders submit orders that aren’t immediately filled. Taker fees, on the other hand, are charged when orders are matched instantly. Together, these two fees determine the trading costs on the majority of cryptocurrency exchanges.

This latest adjustment builds on previous fee reductions for specific trading pairs. Binance.US had already provided 0% fees for certain bitcoin pairs, and in September, it implemented 0% maker fees and 0.01% taker fees for 20 popular pairs.

Exchange seeks to regain momentum following a challenging phase

Binance.US was launched in 2019, yet it hasn’t reached the size of its bigger competitors. CoinGecko data indicated that Binance.US had a 24-hour trading volume of $14.8 million, which was significantly lower than that of Coinbase, Kraken, and the global Binance platform.

The exchange’s growth slowed dramatically in June 2023 following a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Binance. In the aftermath of the case, Binance.US halted U.S. dollar deposits and withdrawals, and the platform functioned as a crypto-only exchange for roughly two years.

Subsequently, the SEC dismissed its civil case, and Binance.US reinstated U.S. dollar services. This development provided the exchange with an opportunity to rebuild its U.S. operations, and the new fee structure seems to be a component of that initiative.

The company also underwent leadership changes during this time. Gregory took over as CEO in March, replacing interim CEO Norman Reed, and he previously headed Currency.com.

Reduced fees increase competition in the crowded U.S. crypto market

Binance.US’s new pricing is competitive when stacked against major U.S. competitors. Coinbase employs a tiered fee system and typically charges takers more than makers; for retail orders under $10,000, Coinbase’s taker fees are 60 basis points and maker fees are 40 basis points.

This implies that a $10,000 taker trade would be significantly more expensive on Coinbase than on Binance.US. This cost difference could attract traders who are mindful of expenses and may help Binance.US distinguish itself in a saturated market.

The global Binance platform typically charges 0.10% for both maker and taker trades, with better rates available to VIP users and BNB holders. Binance.US now provides lower pricing even for traders with low volumes and small orders.

Binance and its former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, also faced a criminal case from the U.S. Department of Justice. Zhao pleaded guilty to violations of the Bank Secrecy Act and resigned from his positions. The recent fee reduction indicates that Binance.US is now working to win back users by offering lower costs and wider access.
