A few days after announcing support for the upcoming Ethereum Merge, Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, is set to enable zero fees trading for one ETH pair on its spot market, starting from August 26, 2022.
During this campaign period, all users of the crypto exchange will be able to trade this Ethereum (ETH) pair without being charged transaction fees. This development comes after the exchange previously enabled zero-fee trading for limited Bitcoin (BTC) pairs.
Per a Tuesday update, the top and widely used crypto marketplace, Binance, will launch a one-month feeless spot trading program for the ETH/BUSD pair. “The ETH/BUSD spot trading pair will be excluded from BNB fee discounts, fee rebates, or any other form of fee adjustments or fee promotions,” the exchange wrote.

As certain players may try to take advantage of this zero-fee program, Binance stated clearly that trades from ‘illegally bulk registered accounts’ and those considered as wash trades will be disqualified from enjoying the offer.
More so, the exchange wrote that trades attempting to manipulate the market will not be considered eligible to enjoy the zero-fees benefit. Overall, the exchange said it reserves the right to disqualify fraudulent trades.
Earlier this month, the exchange disclosed that it is closely monitoring and will support the Ethereum Merge upgrade. The Merge is the biggest upgrade on the largest smart contract platform designed to transition Ethereum to proof-of-stake
The exchange added that in the case of new forked tokens, it will evaluate the support for distribution and withdrawal of the forked tokens.
