Cryptocurrency exchange Binance is making a significant change to its commission discount system as of September 9, 2025.
The company announced that it will completely remove the discount mechanism applied based on the amount of BNB held by users.
With the new regulation:
- Users holding 500 BNB or more will no longer be eligible for the 40% spot trading fee discount or the 20% futures fee discount. The changes will also apply to all other users.
- Discount rates will now be determined based on the invitation program and transaction performance.
- The number of people invited by users, the volume of transactions they generate, and other performance metrics will determine the discount level applied to each account.
The change is expected to impact BNB whales the most. While smaller investors are less directly affected, Binance’s overall commission allocation mechanism is now evolving into a performance- and referral-first structure. Experts recommend users review the referral program and optimize their trading performance to maintain their benefits.
At the time of writing, the BNB price is trading at $874 and has gained 1.75% in the last 24 hours.
