Binance drops planned TradFi perps fee rise, keeps 50% taker discount for VIP 4-9
A cut to a 40% discount was due on 5 November at 08:00 UTC. Binance withdrew it a day earlier, so VIP 4 to 9 taker rates stay where they were. The rate is a promotion that runs until further notice.

Binance said on 4 November 2026 that it will not go ahead with a plan, announced on 28 October, to reduce the TradFi perpetuals taker discount for VIP 4 to 9 users from 50% to 40% from 08:00 UTC on 5 November. The 50% discount stays in place until further notice. That keeps the VIP 4 taker fee at 0.0150% rather than 0.0180%, and the VIP 9 taker fee at 0.0085% rather than 0.0102%.
Nothing changes for other users or on the maker side. Regular to VIP 3 users keep a 20% taker discount, which the 28 October plan also left alone, and maker fees stay at 0.0000% at every level from regular to VIP 9. Regular users pay 0.0400% taker. Paying in BNB takes a further 10% off taker fees, which gives 0.0135% at VIP 4 and 0.0077% at VIP 9.
These are promotional rates measured against the standard USDT taker fee, not a permanent schedule. The current promotion period began on 31 March 2026 and has no end date, and its terms let Binance amend it. The notice gives no reason for dropping the cut.
Qualified market makers in Binance's futures liquidity provider program stay on their weekly maker rebate tiers, and the discount from its futures Taker Program also applies to TradFi perps. Binance says its products may not be available in every region.
“That change will not be implemented. The 50% taker fee discount will continue to apply until further notice.”

Who this affects
Binance Futures users at VIP 4 to 9 who take liquidity on TradFi perpetuals. Regular to VIP 3 users and maker fees were not part of the planned change.
