On October 13, 2025, Binance announced an update to its Altcoin LiquidityBoost Program, expanding the list of eligible spot trading pairs to enhance liquidity for emerging altcoins. This initiative builds on the program's launch in June 2025, which was designed to incentivize small and medium-sized liquidity providers by offering tiered maker fee rebates (up to 1 basis point or 0.01%) for providing depth in altcoin markets. The update aims to address growing market demand for tighter spreads and reduced slippage in non-major crypto pairs, complementing Binance's broader spot liquidity efforts.
Key Changes in the Update
New Eligible Pairs Added: The program now includes additional USDT-based spot trading pairs for high-potential altcoins. These were selected based on trading volume, community interest, and project fundamentals to prioritize market diversity.
Newly Added Pairs:
ASTER/USDT
HEMI/USDT
BAS/USDT
BFUSD/USDC (cross-stablecoin pair for enhanced utility)
Updated Full List of Eligible Pairs: The revised roster combines the original 18 pairs from the June launch with the new additions. Liquidity providers must meet weekly maker volume thresholds (0.5% for Tier 1 rebate of -0.005%; 1.0% for Tier 2 rebate of -0.010%) across these pairs to qualify. Performance is reviewed weekly, with rebates settled in USDT.

Effective Dates:
Qualification review begins immediately on October 13, 2025 (Monday 00:00 UTC).
Updated maker fee rebates apply starting October 20, 2025 (following the first full weekly review).
Providers who fail to meet thresholds for three consecutive weeks will be removed from the program.
Program Benefits and Requirements
Incentives: Participants enjoy the industry's highest altcoin-specific rebates (up to 1 bps), surpassing competitors' general spot programs (max 0.8 bps). This is particularly advantageous for focused altcoin market-making, without the need to spread efforts across BTC/ETH-dominated pairs.
Eligibility: Open to verified institutional and VIP users with demonstrated quality liquidity strategies. Applications for new participants reopen on October 15, 2025, via Binance's institutional portal.
Impact: The expansion is expected to boost trading volumes in these pairs by 15-20% short-term, based on similar past updates, while supporting token projects through deeper order books.
This update aligns with Binance's ongoing efforts to foster altcoin ecosystem growth, following recent listings like ASTER (October 7, 2025) and HEMI integrations (September 23, 2025).
