Your Binance VIP level directly determines your trading fee rates — the higher the level, the lower the fees. Understanding the upgrade rules helps you achieve the best rates at the lowest cost.

How VIP Levels Work
Binance VIP is divided into Regular users and VIP1 through VIP9, totaling 10 tiers. There are two upgrade criteria: 30-day trading volume and average daily BNB holdings — meeting either one qualifies you for an upgrade.
- Regular: No requirements, spot Maker/Taker rate is 0.1%
- VIP1: 30-day volume >= 1M USDT or BNB holdings >= 25
- VIP2: 30-day volume >= 5M USDT or BNB holdings >= 100
- VIP3: 30-day volume >= 20M USDT or BNB holdings >= 250
The higher you go, the steeper the requirements. VIP9 requires over 4 billion USDT in monthly trading volume.
Methods to Level Up Fast
Method one: Concentrate your trading volume. If you trade across multiple exchanges, consider consolidating your volume on Binance to reach the target within 30 days.
Method two: Upgrade through BNB holdings. If you're already bullish on BNB, simply buy and hold. 25 BNB gets you to VIP1, which is a much lower bar than hitting 1 million in trading volume.
Method three: Both spot and futures volume count. Futures trading naturally generates higher volume (due to leverage), making it easier to hit the target.
Method four: Binance occasionally runs VIP upgrade promotions, such as doubled volume counting. Watch official announcements to take advantage of these opportunities.
Fee Rate Comparison by Level
Using spot trading as an example, higher VIP levels mean lower rates:
| Level | Maker Rate | Taker Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 0.1% | 0.1% |
| VIP1 | 0.09% | 0.1% |
| VIP2 | 0.08% | 0.1% |
| VIP3 | 0.07% | 0.09% |
The gap is even more significant for futures. High-VIP users can get futures Maker rates as low as zero.
Maintaining and Losing Your Level
VIP levels are updated daily, with the system automatically calculating the past 30 days' trading volume. If your volume drops below the requirement, your level will decrease accordingly.
Choose a target level based on your trading habits. There's no need to chase excessively high levels — VIP1 through VIP3 offer the best cost-to-benefit ratio.
