  • According to the plan requirements in the above table, after 12:00 (ET on July 2, 2024), the standard market maker fee discount for USDC-margin contracts will apply to all qualified liquidity providers.

way of participation:

  • Users with a 30-day futures trading volume of at least USD 100,000,000 or a spot trading volume of at least USD 20,000,000 on Binance or other platforms can apply to join the program.

  • After the application is approved, the user will be given a three-week assessment-free period, during which time they can enjoy the Level 1 maker fee discount;

  • Please note: successful applicants will enjoy -0.008% maker fee for USDC-margined contracts during the overlap of the three-week assessment-free period and the promotion period (if applicable), and will receive a preferential maker fee for USDC-margined contracts level 1 during the remaining assessment-free period.

  • Send an email to mmprogram@binance.com or contact your sales representative or account manager directly to provide proof of trading volume and apply for a probation exemption.

Assessment method:

Method 1: Assess the weekly maker volume of the user's U-margin contract / the proportion of the total weekly maker volume of the Binance U-margin contract market

  • The percentage of user weekly maker volume is: (user U-margin contract weekly maker volume / Binance platform U-margin contract weekly maker volume) * 100%;

  • At the end of each week, the trading volume ratio of each participant will be calculated. Qualified participants whose weekly maker volume ratio (percentage) of the U-standard contract is not less than 0.20% will receive a maker fee rebate.

Method 2: Assess the weekly maker volume of the U-margin contract excluding BTC and ETH pairs / the proportion of the total weekly maker volume of the U-margin contract excluding BTC and ETH pairs on Binance

  • The percentage of weekly maker volume of U-margin contracts excluding BTC and ETH pairs by users is: (weekly maker volume of U-margin contracts excluding BTC and ETH pairs by users / total weekly maker volume of U-margin contracts excluding BTC and ETH pairs on Binance) * 100%;

  • At the end of each week, the trading volume ratio of each participant will be calculated. Eligible participants whose weekly maker volume ratio (percentage) of the U-margin contract for BTC and ETH pairs is not less than 0.20% will receive a maker fee rebate.

Notice:

  • Binance will provide all participating users with detailed reports on daily/weekly market making performance;

  • Market making performance is assessed weekly, with the assessment period from 08:00 on Monday of the current week to 07:59 on Monday of the next week (GMT+8 time);

  • Maker fee rebates take effect immediately upon completion of each transaction; user maker fee adjustments will be based on their market making performance in the previous week;

  • The maker fee adjustment will be updated every Tuesday around 12:00 (ET8);

  • If a participant fails to pass the test for three consecutive weeks, he/she will be disqualified. Users must wait at least one month before resubmitting their application.

  • All new market makers will enjoy a maker fee discount for USDT-margined contracts level 1 in the first three weeks. On the other hand, they will also enjoy a maker fee discount of -0.008% for USDC-margined contracts during the overlap of the three-week assessment-free period and the promotion period (if applicable), and a maker fee discount for USDC-margined contracts level 1 during the remaining grace period.

    • Starting from the second week, if the market making performance of the newly added market maker is higher than level 1, the rebate ratio will be calculated according to the corresponding level;

    • Starting from the fourth week, users must meet the requirements to continue to enjoy the rate discount, and the level of discount depends on the user's performance in the last week of the trial period.

  • For market makers that participate in the program for more than three weeks, their fee structure will be updated every Tuesday at approximately 12:00 ET based on the performance of the previous week;

  • The main purpose of the Binance U-margin Futures Market Maker Program is to increase the liquidity and depth of the U-margin Futures market.
