Binance launched a Sub-Affiliate feature on 9 November 2026 that lets its affiliates share part of their own commission rate with sub-affiliates they invite. Sub-affiliates can invite their own, up to seven levels, and each top affiliate can have up to 50 sub-affiliates in total.
When creating an invitation, an affiliate must give the new sub-affiliate at least 20% of its spot commission rate and at least 20% of its futures commission rate, and each participant must keep at least 5% of the overall commission rate. Binance says the total paid to a team never exceeds the top affiliate's own commission rate and that each participant is paid directly by Binance. If the rate is later cut, for example after an affiliate evaluation downgrade, the cut comes first out of the affiliate's retained share, which can fall below 5% or to zero.
To become a sub-affiliate a user must pass identity verification, have an activated Binance Futures account, never have been an affiliate, not be a sub-affiliate under another affiliate or a co-inviter, and not live where the referral program or the feature is unsupported. Binance says commission rates are not guaranteed, may be reduced to zero at any time, and that it can claw back commissions earned in breach of its terms.
The change is to how affiliate commission is split. Binance did not announce any change to what new users get when they sign up through a referral link.
“Sub-Affiliates may in turn invite further Sub-Affiliates, up to a maximum of 7 levels.”
