According to the announcement from Binance, the company is launching a limited-time fee promotion tied to its Stock Options product, which covers over 1,000 selected U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, with more to be added in the future. During the Promotion Period, the commission fee is set at $0.60 per contract, while the platform fee is zero. Binance also said users can trade with zero conversion fees when converting USDC to USD, with the conversion spread fully absorbed by Binance. The promotion begins on 2026-09-01 08:00 (UTC) and continues until further notice. The announcement also outlines the fee structure for Stock Options trading during the promotion, including a fully waived platform fee and exercise fee at $0.00 per contract. Other charges remain applicable where specified, including the SEC Transaction Fee of $0.0000206 × trade value for sell orders only, the FINRA Trading Activity Fee of $0.00329 per contract for sell orders only, the FINRA Consolidated Audit Trail Fee of $0.000003 per executed equivalent share for buy and sell orders, the Options Regulatory Fee of $0.015 per contract for buy and sell orders, and the Options Clearing Corporation Fee of $0.025 per contract for buy and sell orders. Binance said regulatory fees are charged per order when placed and rounded up to the nearest $0.01, while CAT treats 1 contract as 100 executed equivalent shares or the applicable multiplier.
The announcement also explains how users can begin trading Stock Options on Binance. Users must complete the Options Suitability Quiz and sign the Disclaimer before opening an account, and those who have not opened Stocks before can open Stocks and Options together in one step. To trade, users should go to the Stock kline page, select the Options tab between Overview and Financials, choose an expiration date and strike price from the options chain, and place a limit order by entering a limit price and quantity in contracts. Binance said only limit orders are supported in Phase 1. Users can monitor positions on the Stock Trading Page or in their Funding Account, where Position Details provide PnL, Greeks, and other information. The announcement also notes that users can check whether a specific stock supports options trading by looking for the Options tab on the Stock kline page. For questions about contract specifications, pricing and valuation, expiration and settlement, position limits, and risk management, Binance directs users to its FAQ.
