@BinanceCIS $SKHYB
“Zero maker fee” is easy to see on the trading screen. The cost I would be more likely to miss sits one layer underneath the token.
Binance currently offers zero maker fees for SKHYB/USDT through August 31, 2026. But SKHYB tracks the US-listed SK Hynix ADR, and Binance highlights an important detail: ADR custody fees may apply to the underlying instrument.
That is a different kind of cost.
A trading fee is attached to execution. An ADR custody fee comes from the structure of the underlying instrument and may matter simply because the position is held.
For me, this is exactly why I would not evaluate a bStock only from the Spot fee screen.
Before holding an ADR-backed bStock for longer, I would check:
• what security actually sits underneath the token;
• whether the underlying ADR carries custody fees;
• how those costs are reflected in the applicable product terms.
The 1:1 backing tells me what supports the token. It does not automatically tell me that every layer underneath it is cost-free.
That distinction is small on the interface, but important in due diligence:
zero maker fee ≠ zero possible holding friction.
The longer I plan to hold a tokenized security, the more I care about the costs I cannot see in the Buy button.
