• Binance is decreasing the BNB holding criteria for VIP 1 to VIP 3 and aligning them across all VIP programs in order to make advancement more reachable.

Today, Binance, the cryptocurrency exchange that is the biggest in terms of trading volume and users, made an announcement on adjustments to its VIP Program eligibility levels and qualifying structure. As a result of the refresh, essential criteria have been lowered, and new paths have been introduced. These pathways are intended to discover and help high-value users early on throughout the platform as they expand their participation. Additionally, the modifications enhance the competitiveness of the Binance VIP Program and make it easier for a wider variety of users to become eligible for the advantages of the VIP program.

Binance is decreasing the BNB holding criteria for VIP 1 to VIP 3 and aligning them across all VIP programs in order to make advancement more reachable while maintaining tier recognition that is related to ongoing involvement that can be measured. The minimum amount of BNB that must be held will be reduced as follows: VIP 1 will go from 25 BNB to 5 BNB, VIP 2 will go from 100 BNB to 25 BNB, and VIP 3 will go from 250 BNB to 100 BNB.

Additionally, in order to better align itself with the dynamics of the market at the moment, Binance is reducing the 30-day Futures trading volume requirements for VIP 1 to VIP 3. For VIP 1, the thresholds for 30-day futures will be reduced from 15,000,000 USD to 5,000,000 USD; for VIP 2, the thresholds will be reduced from 50,000,000 USD to 10,000,000 USD; and for VIP 3, the criteria will be reduced from 100,000,000 USD to 50,000,000 USD. Following the implementation of these revised conditions, the costs for trading in VIP 1 and VIP 2 Futures have been marginally modified in order to preserve a fee structure that is balanced, however the rates for trading in VIP 3 have not been altered.

Furthermore, users who meet the requirements by engaging in holding or investment activities, such as Binance Earn, will now be subject to a new eligibility framework that is part of the Holder Program. This framework will increase the number of eligible VIP levels all the way up to VIP 9. Additionally, BNB holdings and Alpha account assets will be included into the calculations of total asset holdings. This will allow customers to have a higher degree of freedom in allocating their assets among products while still retaining the highest VIP tier for which they are eligible.

Additionally, Binance is establishing a new designation known as VIP Rising Star. This designation was developed to acknowledge and assist high-potential individuals on their path toward becoming Binance VIP Members. The VIP Rising Star program is open to users who have a 30-day average net asset balance of 30,000 USD, which includes at least 5 BNB. Users who are qualified for this program will be able to get customized assistance, access to curated events, and unique opportunities that are meant to expedite their journey to becoming VIPs.

At 23:59 UTC on March 19, 2026, the modifications to the requirements for futures trading and holding BNB cryptocurrency will become effective. It is anticipated that the latest modifications to the VIP Holder Program will be reflected on March 20, 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The date when VIP Rising Star will become active is March 20, 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Once the modifications are implemented, eligible users will be immediately upgraded, and individuals will be able to access their most recent VIP level inside the Binance app by using the My VIP mobile hub. The VIP levels are updated every day at 10:00 UTC depending on the conditions that are relevant, and users who qualify under numerous criteria will earn the highest level that they fulfill.

In light of the fact that the revised VIP levels are anticipated to attract a greater number of users into VIP 1 and VIP 2, Binance has also decided to broaden the eligibility requirements for referrals to Futures beginning on March 19, 2026. It will be possible for affiliates to receive income from Futures for referrals that have a VIP level ranging from Regular to VIP 2. The futures trading volume that is produced by referrals that fall within this enlarged range will also be counted against the metrics that are used to evaluate affiliates’ futures performance.

The Binance VIP program is a tiered program that is meant for customers that operate at greater levels of activity across trading, loans, and asset holdings. It provides users with perks that may include cheaper fees, larger limits, priority support, enhanced insights, VIP swag, event invites, and more.
