The zero fees option will apply for the ETH/BUSD spot trading pair. BUSD or Binance USD BUSD/USD is a Binance-issued stablecoin that is pegged to the value of the U.S. Dollar. At press time, BUSD had a market cap of $19 billion, making it the third largest stablecoin after Tether USDT/USD and USD Coin USDC/USD.
Last month, Binance launched a zero Bitcoin trading fees option for users worldwide to commemorate its 5thbirthday. The zero fees offers comes at a time when the crypto market has been in largely bearish territory, forcing other exchanges like Coinbase Global Inc COIN to report lower revenues due to a slowdown in trading activity.
No one's following, so we are in a race to 0 with ourselves. Leading is lonely sometimes.
