Binance has announced a major update to its VIP Program, lowering entry thresholds and introducing new qualification pathways aimed at onboarding high-value users earlier in their engagement with the platform.
The revised framework reduces key requirements across multiple tiers, making VIP benefits more accessible while maintaining performance-based progression. As part of the update, minimum holdings of BNB for entry-level tiers have been significantly lowered. Requirements for VIP 1 drop from 25 BNB to 5 BNB, VIP 2 from 100 BNB to 25 BNB, and VIP 3 from 250 BNB to 100 BNB.
Trading thresholds have also been adjusted to reflect current market conditions. The 30-day futures trading volume required for VIP 1 has been reduced from $15 million to $5 million, while VIP 2 drops from $50 million to $10 million and VIP 3 from $100 million to $50 million. Binance noted that while fees for VIP 1 and VIP 2 futures trading have been slightly revised to maintain balance, VIP 3 fees remain unchanged.
In addition, the company has expanded its Holder Program, allowing users to qualify for VIP status through asset holdings and investment activities such as Binance Earn. The updated structure now supports eligibility up to VIP 9 and incorporates a broader range of assets, including BNB holdings and Alpha account balances, offering users greater flexibility in maintaining their tier status.
A new “VIP Rising Star” category has also been introduced to identify and nurture high-potential users. Customers with a 30-day average net asset balance of $30,000, including at least 5 BNB, will qualify for the designation, gaining access to tailored support, exclusive events, and growth opportunities designed to fast-track their progression into higher VIP tiers.
According to Catherine Chen, Head of VIP and Institutional at Binance, the changes are designed to better recognize user contributions across trading, holdings, and investments, while strengthening liquidity and enhancing the overall service experience. The move comes as Binance continues to scale its global user base, which surpassed 300 million in late 2025, with a long-term target of reaching one billion users.
The Binance VIP Program offers a tiered suite of benefits for high-activity users, including reduced fees, higher transaction limits, priority customer support, advanced insights, and exclusive perks.
