Crypto Cheat Codes: Best Ways to Save and Earn on Binance

2021-11-09

Before we get started, if you recognize the image above, then props to you. If you don’t—well, it’s our take on the infamous Konami code. Unfortunately, there are no traditional “cheat codes” when it comes to crypto, but we do have a few tips and tricks that might help you along your trading journey.

When it comes to getting the most out of your money at Binance, you’ll need to use a mix of our savings and earnings products wherever possible. You’ll also need to be efficient, disciplined, and highly optimized when it comes to your crypto strategy.

P.S. scroll to the bottom of this article for our ultimate “BNB Mega Combo” code. 

Code: SAVE

Even though Binance already offers some of the lowest fees in the industry, there are several ways to save even more on every transaction. Every bit helps, and savings do add up over time. 

1. Save on fees with the Binance Referral Program

New to Binance and haven’t created an account yet? It’s worth your time to hunt for a referral link that will give you a discount on trading fees. There are two different kinds of referral links to look out for: 

  • Spot: The maximum discount on these referral links will vary based on the referrer, but you can save up to 20% on Binance’s spot market fees just by creating an account through the link. 

  • Futures: Sign up or activate your Futures account with a friend’s referral link to get a 10% discount on Futures trading fees for the first 30 days.

If you don’t have a Binance account yet, you can click here for a 10% discount on spot market trading fees, plus a 10% discount on Futures trading fees for the first 30 days.

If you already have a Binance account but haven’t activated Futures yet, you can click here for a 10% discount on Futures trading fees for the first 30 days.

2. Save on fees with BNB 

BNB is more popular than ever, but did you know you could get a discount on trading fees when you pay with BNB? 

Learn all the ways you can save using BNB. 

3. Save on fees when you increase your VIP level

Another way to further reduce your trading fees is to become a VIP. Binance offers 10 different VIP levels (VIP 0 - VIP 9), calculated based on your 30-day trading volume (equivalent in Bitcoin) and average BNB balance over the same period. You can find the full breakdown of all Binance’s fee breakdowns here.

4. Save on fees for large transactions using OTC (Over-the-Counter) trades

If you’re buying or selling over $10,000 USD in crypto assets, you can use the OTC trading portal. Doing so will save you money on fees, limit slippage (generally giving you a better average price) and save you both time and effort executing the trade(s).

Looking to make a large transaction? Check out our OTC trading portal. 

5. Skip fees entirely with Binance P2P (Peer-to-Peer)
