Binance has launched the Altcoin LiquidityBoost Program — the first spot liquidity program from a major exchange built specifically to strengthen altcoin markets. By giving liquidity providers incentives to focus on altcoin pairs, the program is set to deliver deeper liquidity, tighter spreads, and a more competitive trading experience.
In a space where altcoin liquidity is often fragmented or inconsistent, this initiative marks a push to build stronger, healthier markets. In this blog, we’ll break down how the program works, who it’s for, and why it’s another step forward for altcoin trading.
Why Binance Launched The Altcoin LiquidityBoost Program
Altcoins bring diversity and innovation to the crypto markets, but they often face a common challenge: liquidity. With lower liquidity, traders can experience wider spreads, higher slippage, and difficulty executing larger orders efficiently.
Liquidity providers play a vital role in ensuring healthy, stable markets by consistently posting buy and sell orders. However, many small and mid-sized liquidity providers find it difficult to compete under existing liquidity programs, which typically require market-making for an exchange’s entire range of spot pairs, or are designed for fiat pairs. In response, Binance is introducing the industry’s first altcoin-focused Spot Liquidity Program: the Altcoin LiquidityBoost Program.
The goal is simple — to promote deeper liquidity across selected altcoin pairs, helping users benefit from: better prices, tighter spreads, and lower slippage.
Key Highlights
Market-leading rebates: Earn up to 1 basis point (1 bps) in maker fee rebates.
Simplified participation: No requirement to provide liquidity across the entire range of spot pairs on an exchange. Providers can focus purely on the selected altcoin/USDT pairs.
Program period: Runs from June 9, 2025.
By giving smaller liquidity providers a dedicated opportunity to contribute to altcoin markets — and rewarding them with industry-leading rebates — Binance is aiming to make altcoin trading more accessible, competitive, and liquid for everyone.
How It Works: Program Structure
Here’s how the Altcoin LiquidityBoost Program works, and how eligible liquidity providers can get started. The program focuses on 18 altcoin/USDT trading pairs:
AUSDT, BABYUSDT, CFXUSDT, FILUSDT, HYPERUSDT, ICPUSDT, INITUSDT, IOTXUSDT, KERNELUSDT, KMNOUSDT, ONDOUSDT, PARTIUSDT, STOUSDT, SXTUSDT, SYRUPUSDT, TONUSDT, WCTUSDT, WUSDT.
The program operates on a weekly cycle, consisting of two discrete periods:
Qualification period (Week T). Eligible liquidity providers are ranked based on their share of total maker volume across these eligible trading pairs during that week. This share determines the provider’s rebate rate for the following week.
Rebate period (Week T+1). During the week immediately following the qualification period, eligible providers receive hourly rebates (paid in USDT) on their qualifying maker trades in the eligible trading pairs. The applicable rebate rate is fixed for the week (Week T+1), reflecting the participant’s maker share from the prior week (Week T).
Rebate tiers:
Providers who achieve at least 0.5% maker volume share will receive a rebate of -0.005% (0.5 basis points) during the next week.
Providers reaching 1.0% maker volume share (or more) will qualify for the top rebate of -0.010% (1 basis point) during the next week.
Providers with less than 0.5% maker volume will not be eligible for a rebate.
Rebates are calculated and paid hourly in USDT, based on actual maker volume generated during the rebate period, and at the rate earned during the prior qualification period. Maker volume is reviewed weekly, and rebate rates are reset accordingly. The first rebates will be applied starting from June 17, 2025, based on the maker share during the initial week.
How to Apply
First, check if your trading volume qualifies. You’ll need to have a 30-day trading volume of at least 20 million USDT equivalent — either on Binance Spot and Margin or verifiable across other platforms.
If you meet the eligibility criteria, submit your application by emailing [email protected] or by contacting your Binance VIP team representative.
Once accepted, you can begin market-making on the eligible altcoin pairs. Rebates will be awarded based on your weekly performance. The more liquidity you provide, the greater your potential rewards.
Why It Matters: Benefits for All
The program is designed to deliver benefits across the entire Binance ecosystem: from liquidity providers to token projects, traders, and the market as a whole.
For liquidity providers: The program offers a dedicated opportunity for liquidity providers who want to focus on altcoins, but without the pressure to also cover BTC, ETH, or fiat markets. With rebates of up to 1 bps, it provides a more attractive and accessible path for small to mid-sized providers to compete and grow.
For token projects: Deeper liquidity leads to healthier and more stable markets, which can support stronger token performance over time. The program helps ensure that altcoin projects benefit from consistent liquidity, greater diversity of participants, and better market quality — making them more attractive to traders and investors.
For traders and users: Traders directly benefit from tighter spreads, lower slippage, and a more diverse and liquid marketplace of altcoins to explore and trade. Whether entering new positions or executing larger orders, users can enjoy a smoother and more cost-efficient trading experience.
Final Thoughts
Developed in response to demand from market participants, the Altcoin LiquidityBoost Program makes Binance the first major exchange to launch an altcoin-focused Spot Liquidity Program — taking the lead in building healthier, more diverse altcoin markets.
The program opens the door for smaller and mid-sized liquidity providers to focus on altcoins and get properly rewarded for it. In turn, traders can look forward to deeper markets, tighter spreads, and more choice across a growing range of altcoins.
It also complements Binance’s existing Spot and Fiat Maker Programs, giving liquidity providers more ways to participate. It’s a smart move for providers looking to compete on their own terms, a win for traders seeking better prices and deeper markets, and another step in making our altcoin ecosystem more diverse, liquid, and accessible.
