Binance Lowers VIP Programme Entry Thresholds and Introduces Rising Star Status
Binance revised VIP programme conditions, lowering thresholds and adding Rising Star status.
On March 18, cryptocurrency exchange Binance revised its VIP programme conditions: it reduced the BNB balance and futures trading volume requirements for VIP levels 1–3, expanded criteria for holders, and introduced a new VIP Rising Star status. These changes simplify access to the programme’s privileges, according to a blog post.
Binance VIP offers reduced fees (up to 80% discounts on spot), a dedicated manager, 24/7 priority support, increased withdrawal limits, access to the VIP portal, exclusive analytics, and participation in private events.
The minimum BNB balance for qualifying for VIP levels 1–3 has been reduced several times over. The thresholds are now unified for traders, holders, and borrowers:
| Level | Was | Now |
| VIP 1 | 25 BNB | 5 BNB |
| VIP 2 | 100 BNB | 25 BNB |
| VIP 3 | 250 BNB | 100 BNB |
Subscribers to BNB Simple Earn will continue to receive access to additional airdrops.
Binance also revised the 30-day futures trading volume requirements:
| Level | Volume: Was | Volume: Now | Taker/Maker Fees: Was | Taker/Maker Fees: Now |
| VIP 1 | $15 million | $5 million | 0.04%/0.016% | 0.05%/0.018% |
| VIP 2 | $50 million | $10 million | 0.035%/0.014% | 0.04%/0.016% |
| VIP 3 | $100 million | $50 million | 0.032%/0.012% | Unchanged |
The thresholds have been reduced by 2–5 times, although fees for VIP levels 1 and 2 have slightly increased. For instance, the taker fee for VIP 1 rose from 0.04% to 0.05%, and the maker fee from 0.016% to 0.018%. Conditions for VIP 3 remain unchanged.
New Criteria for Holders
Binance has unified the qualification criteria for holders and investors into a single system. Assets in Binance Earn are considered: Simple Earn, ETH and SOL staking, On-Chain Yields, Soft Staking, RWUSD, Dual Investment, Discount Buy, and BFUSD.
The key innovation is the expansion of qualification to VIP levels 5–9. Previously, holders could only qualify for VIP levels 1–4.
| Level | Assets: Was | Assets: Now | BNB: Was | BNB: Now |
| VIP 1 | $500,000 | $100,000 | 25 BNB | 5 BNB |
| VIP 2 | $1.5 million | $200,000 | 100 BNB | 25 BNB |
| VIP 3 | $3 million | $3 million | 250 BNB | 100 BNB |
| VIP 4 | $6 million | $6 million | 500 BNB | 500 BNB |
| VIP 5–9 | Unavailable | $50–1000 million | Unavailable | 1000–5500 BNB |
When calculating asset value, Binance considers the greater of two values: the average balance over 30 days or the balance from the previous day. If a user has recently topped up their account, the system will consider yesterday’s balance, even if the 30-day average has not yet adjusted.
VIP Rising Star
Binance has introduced the VIP Rising Star status for users who do not meet the main VIP programme requirements. The conditions are a 30-day average balance of $30,000, including 5 BNB. Registration is not required: the system automatically assesses eligibility.
Participants will receive personal support, event invitations, and access to ecosystem offers.
Earlier, on March 10, Binance published a detailed analysis of allegations regarding the transfer of $1.7 billion to Iranian entities. The exchange presented a fund movement scheme and responded to media claims.
