Binance US eliminates trading fees for Ethereum
Binance US has announced that it has expanded its “zero fee price model” to Ether (ETH) effective immediately.
According to the announcement, users are now able to freely trade four Ether spot market pairs: ETH/USD, ETH/USDT, ETH/USDC and ETH/BUSD.
Just in time for the holidays, the best #crypto platform for low fees just got even better.#BinanceUS is pleased to offer zero-fees when you buy #Ethereum or trade ETH/USD, ETH/USDT, ETH/BUSD & ETH/USDC, for all users with no trading volume requirements.
Effective immediately, the US exchange has also eliminated gas fees on all Ethereum transactions made through the “Buy & Sell” feature on its website.
In June, Binance US followed in the footsteps of Robinhood, which pioneered no-commission crypto trading in 2018, by removing all Bitcoin (BTC)spot market trading fees for BTC/USD, BTC/USDT, BTC/USDC, and BTC/BUSD.
Binance US operates as an independent entity in the United States but still bears the same name and logo as the global Binance crypto exchange. As the name implies, Binance US caters primarily to American crypto traders.
According to Binance US president and CEO Brian Shroder, eliminating fees on both BTC and ETH cements the company's position "as the low fee leader in crypto." He added that "now, more than ever, it is critical that platforms operate with users’ interests first.”
By eliminating these fees, we continue to cement our position as the low fee leader in crypto, bringing greater pricing competition & helping to restore trust in the broader ecosystem.Now, more than ever, it's critical that platforms operate with users’ interests first.
