Binance Review
Low headline rate, with a token condition on the discount
of 10
Binance charges 0.100% maker and 0.100% taker at the regular user tier, with a further 25% off — taking both to 0.075% — for those who pay fees in BNB. The discount is a position in the exchange's own token, not a saving.

Scores
Each criterion carries equal weight. The overall score is the average of these 4 scores — (9.0 + 8.0 + 6.0 + 8.0) ÷ 4 = 7.8.
Pros
- 0.100% maker and taker at the entry tier, below most competitors here
- Full tier table published openly
- The BNB discount and its 25% value are stated rather than implied
Cons
- The best rate requires holding and spending BNB, which is exposure to the venue's own token
- The regular tier applies below $1m of 30-day volume, so most readers will not see better
- This ranking does not assess custody, reserves or licensing
A low rate before conditions
The published schedule puts the regular user tier at 0.100% for both maker and taker, applying below $1m of 30-day volume. That is lower than either Kraken or Gemini charge a small trader, and the whole tier table is published rather than hidden behind an account.
The discount is a token position
Paying fees in BNB takes both sides to 0.075%. Framing that as a 25% saving is only half the story: it requires holding the exchange's own token, whose price you are then exposed to. Our rubric scores the condition attached to a rate, not just the rate, which is why the fee-conditions mark is the lowest of the four here.
Scope
This score reflects published trading costs only, not custody, reserves or regulatory standing.
