Updates on Zero-Fee Bitcoin Trading
Things to Be Care full
-
Maker vs Taker Fees: Often zero-fee promotions only apply to maker side, but taker fees are still charged. If you don’t provide liquidity (i.e. you take liquidity via market orders), you may still incur fees. Example: Binance’s BTC/TUSD changed so that maker fee = 0% but taker fee reverted to standard.
-
Which Stable coin Pair: The specific stable coin matters. Binance moved from BUSD to TUSD as the zero-fee pair for BTC.
-
Duration / Validity: Some campaigns are limited-time only. Promotional zero fee events may “until further notice,” but can end. Always check effective dates.
-
Fee Discounts, VIP, Rebates: During zero-fee periods, some other benefits may be suspended or reinstated differently. For example, volume may or may not count toward VIP tiers or for rebate programs. When Binance updated in 2025, they resumed counting for VIP & LP programs.
-
Hidden Costs or Trade-offs: Zero fees do not always mean zero cost: spreads, slippage, or minimums might still apply. Also, some zero-fee offers exclude certain discounts or rebates. Be clear about “maker/taker”, “spot vs margin”, “which pair”, etc.
