Binance VIP levels range from VIP 0 to VIP 9, with 10 tiers total. Higher levels enjoy greater fee discounts. Upgrades are based on two criteria: 30-day trading volume and BNB holdings — meeting either one qualifies you. VIP 0 users pay 0.1% spot fees, while VIP 9 can go as low as 0.02%, a significant difference.
Users without an account should first register at Binance — new accounts start at VIP 0.
What Are the Binance VIP Level Requirements?
Upgrading requires meeting either the 30-day trading volume or BNB holding requirement:
| VIP Level | 30-Day Spot Volume (BUSD) | Or BNB Holdings |
|---|---|---|
| VIP 0 | < 1M | < 25 BNB |
| VIP 1 | >= 1M | >= 25 BNB |
| VIP 2 | >= 5M | >= 100 BNB |
| VIP 3 | >= 20M | >= 250 BNB |
| VIP 4 | >= 50M | >= 500 BNB |
| VIP 5 | >= 100M | >= 1,000 BNB |
| VIP 6 | >= 250M | >= 1,750 BNB |
| VIP 7 | >= 500M | >= 3,000 BNB |
| VIP 8 | >= 1B | >= 4,500 BNB |
| VIP 9 | >= 2.5B | >= 5,500 BNB |
The system calculates daily and automatically upgrades you the following day when conditions are met.

Futures Trading Fees
Futures trading has its own independent VIP fee tiers following a similar pattern. The higher the VIP level, the lower the futures fees. VIP 0 futures Taker fee is 0.04%, while VIP 9 can go as low as 0.017%.
How to Quickly Upgrade Your VIP Level?
- Increase trading volume: Concentrate trading within one month to reach the upgrade threshold
- Hold BNB: Upgrading through BNB holdings is usually simpler than accumulating trading volume
- Use Maker limit orders: Limit orders (Maker) have lower fees and also count toward trading volume
- Use grid trading: Automated trading strategies can continuously generate trading volume
- Futures volume counts too: Futures trading volume is also factored into VIP level evaluation
Note: Wash trading (such as frequent self-trading) will be detected by the system and may result in account restrictions.
What Benefits Come Beyond Fee Discounts?
High-tier VIP users enjoy these additional benefits:
- Dedicated account manager: VIP 3+ users get a one-on-one account manager
- Higher API limits: More relaxed API call frequency limits
- Priority customer service: Faster support response times
- Higher withdrawal limits: Increased daily withdrawal caps
- Launchpad bonus allocation: More allocation for new token launches
- Exclusive event invitations: Periodic VIP-exclusive event invitations
Can Your VIP Level Be Downgraded?
Yes. The system recalculates your past 30-day trading volume and current BNB holdings daily. If your 30-day trading volume drops and your BNB holdings also fail to meet the current level's requirements, you'll be automatically downgraded.
To maintain your VIP level, it's recommended to keep a stable BNB holding. Holding is easier to maintain than trading volume, and BNB itself has appreciation potential.
We recommend downloading the Binance app — iPhone users can refer to the iOS installation guide — to conveniently check your VIP level and upgrade progress.
Security Reminders
Keep these security tips in mind while pursuing VIP upgrades:
- Don't trust "VIP upgrade services": Anyone claiming to help you fast-track VIP upgrades is likely a scammer
- Don't send BNB to others for "custodial holding": VIP level only considers your own account holdings
- Enhance security for large BNB holdings: Enable all security verifications and set up a withdrawal whitelist
- Beware of fake VIP groups: Some impersonate "Binance VIP groups" for fraud purposes
- Evaluate your needs realistically: Don't overtrade or over-hold just to chase a VIP level
Is It More Cost-Effective to Upgrade via BNB Holdings or Trading Volume?
For most users, holding BNB is simpler. VIP 1 requires only 25 BNB (worth several thousand dollars at current prices), while upgrading through trading volume requires 1 million BUSD in monthly volume. However, BNB prices fluctuate, so assess the risk accordingly.
Does My VIP Level Apply to Futures Trading?
Yes. Binance's VIP level applies platform-wide — spot and futures share the same VIP level. However, futures trading has its own VIP fee schedule that differs slightly from spot fees.
Do Other Exchanges Have VIP Tier Systems?
Nearly all major exchanges have similar tier systems. OKX, Bybit, Gate.io, and others all offer fee discounts based on trading volume or holdings. Upgrade thresholds and discount amounts vary across platforms — compare before choosing.
Are There VIP Upgrade Promotions for New Users?
Binance periodically offers VIP trial campaigns for new users, such as direct upgrades to VIP 1 or VIP 2 when trading volume targets are met within a certain period after registration. Follow Binance's official announcements for the latest promotions.
