Contract trading fees have dropped again, but most people actually won’t benefit from this round of cuts.
On November 10, Binance increased the discount on taker fees for USDⓈ-M contracts by another tier: Tier 2 rose from 14% to 15%, Tier 3 from 18% to 20%, while Tier 1 remains unchanged at 10%. The promotion runs through January 3, 2027. It applies to USDT-M and USDC-M perpetual and delivery contracts. The discount is applied directly to the taker fee on each trade and can be combined with BNB fee deductions and VIP rates.
The thresholds are based on your share of the platform’s weekly taker volume: Tier 1 requires at least 0.05%, Tier 2 at least 0.2%, and Tier 3 at least 1%. The calculation is split into two categories: $BTC , $ETH , and $BNB trading pairs, and all pairs excluding those three coins. This taker discount also applies to stock perpetual contracts.
The takeaway: This is mainly aimed at high-frequency traders and users who trade large volumes as takers. You need to account for more than 1% of the platform’s weekly taker volume to get the 20% discount. Most retail users will likely fall into the 10% tier or fail to meet the threshold altogether. But the direction is worth noting: Binance has rolled out both spot taker rebates and increased futures taker discounts in November, clearly vying for active traders’ volume. For futures traders, the real savings still come from maker fees and BNB deductions. The taker discount is just icing on the cake—don’t trade more just to reach a higher tier.
