The key changes are as follows:
Lower BNB holding requirements: VIP 1 is now 5 BNB (down from 25 BNB); VIP 2 is 25 BNB (down from 100 BNB); VIP 3 is 100 BNB (down from 250 BNB).
Reduced derivatives trading volume thresholds: VIP 1 is now $5 million (down from $15 million); VIP 2 is $10 million (down from $50 million); VIP 3 is $50 million (down from $100 million).
Minor fee adjustments: The fee structures for VIP 1 and VIP 2 have been slightly updated accordingly.
Expanded rebate eligibility: Starting March 19, 2026, derivatives trading rebates will be extended from VIP 1 to VIP 2 users.
Updated asset-based criteria: A new asset-based tiering system has been introduced, extending up to VIP Level 9. The minimum asset requirement for VIP 1 is now $100,000 (down from $500,000); for VIP 2, it is $200,000 (down from $1.5 million). BNB holdings now count toward total assets.
