Your Binance VIP level directly determines your trading fee rates — the higher the level, the lower the fees. For high-volume traders, upgrading your VIP level can save substantial costs. Register through our site for an automatic 20% fee rebate, and download the Binance APP to check your current VIP level and upgrade progress on the profile page.
Binance VIP Tier System Overview
Binance's VIP system spans from VIP 0 to VIP 9 — ten levels total, determined by two criteria: 30-day trading volume and BNB holdings. Meeting either criterion qualifies you for the corresponding level. VIP 0 is the default level with no requirements. VIP 1 requires monthly trading volume of 1 million USDT or holding 25 BNB. VIP 2 requires 5 million USDT monthly volume or 100 BNB. Requirements escalate with each level, with VIP 9 requiring over 4 billion USDT monthly volume or 5,500 BNB. Each level corresponds to different spot and futures fee rates, with VIP levels updated daily.
Fee Rate Comparison Across Levels
VIP 0: Spot Maker/Taker both 0.1%, Futures Maker 0.02%/Taker 0.05%. VIP 1: Spot 0.09%/0.1%, Futures 0.016%/0.04%. VIP 2: Spot 0.08%/0.1%, Futures 0.014%/0.035%. The differences become more pronounced at higher levels — VIP 9 spot rates drop to 0.02%/0.04%, and futures Maker rates can even be negative (the exchange pays you). For users with monthly volumes in the millions of USDT, the fee differences across VIP levels can amount to hundreds or even thousands of USDT. Add BNB payment discounts and referral code rebates, and actual rates can be reduced even further.
Methods to Quickly Upgrade Your VIP Level
The most direct way to upgrade is increasing trading volume. High-frequency strategies like grid trading and arbitrage can accumulate significant volume quickly. Participating in Binance's market maker program can also boost your VIP level. Holding BNB is another path — especially for users whose trading volume isn't high enough, buying and holding sufficient BNB can achieve the desired level. Note that BNB holdings include those in spot wallets, funding wallets, and BNB Vault, but not the futures wallet. If you hold a high VIP level on other exchanges, you can apply to Binance for VIP level matching to receive the corresponding tier directly.
VIP Level Maintenance and Downgrade Rules
VIP levels are calculated based on rolling 30-day data and automatically updated daily. If your 30-day trading volume or BNB holdings drop below the current level's threshold, your VIP level will automatically downgrade. We recommend maintaining consistent trading activity or BNB holdings to keep your VIP level. During certain periods, Binance runs VIP level protection promotions where no downgrades occur. Binance also periodically offers VIP upgrade promotional events with reduced volume requirements. Staying aware of these events lets you achieve higher VIP levels at lower cost.
Comprehensive Fee Reduction Strategies
VIP level is just one way to reduce fees. Combine the following strategies to maximize savings: register with a referral code for 20% fee rebates, use BNB for fee payment to get 25% off, upgrade your VIP level to lower base rates, use limit orders (Maker) rather than market orders (Taker), and watch for zero-fee trading pair promotions. For typical users with monthly volumes of 100K-1M USDT, referral rebates plus BNB payment discounts already save over 40% on fees. For higher-volume users, the marginal benefit of pursuing higher VIP levels becomes even more significant.
