Binance has a referral program -- invite others to register and trade on Binance, and you earn commissions from their trading fees. Some influencers earn over ten thousand dollars monthly from referrals. But how much can regular people earn? How exactly are commissions calculated? Let's break it down. Users who register on Binance through this link establish a commission relationship with the referrer. On mobile, download the Binance App to view commission details on the referral page.
The Basic Logic
You invite new users to register on Binance through your exclusive referral link or code. When the referred person trades and generates fees, you receive a portion as commission.
This commission is permanently effective -- as long as the referred person continues trading on Binance, you keep earning. It's not a one-time reward.
Commission Rates
The default commission rate for regular users is 20% of the referred person's trading fees. If your friend pays 10 USDT in fees on a trade, you get 2 USDT.
If you hold 500+ BNB, the rate increases to 40%. Same 10 USDT trade fee, you'd get 4 USDT.
You can set up commission sharing with the referred person. For example, you can choose to split the 20% commission -- keep 10% for yourself and give 10% to the referred person as their fee discount. This incentivizes people to use your registration link, creating a win-win.
How to Get Your Referral Link
Find "Referral" or "Invite Friends" in the Binance App. You'll see your exclusive referral link and code.
You can set the commission split ratio -- choose how much you and the referred person each receive. Generate your link after setting up, then share it with friends.
Each person can create multiple referral links with different split ratios for different promotional scenarios.
How Commissions Are Paid
Commissions settle in real time. Every time a referred person generates trading fees, the corresponding commission is instantly credited to your spot wallet. You can view commission details and cumulative totals on the referral page.
Commissions are paid in the same coin as the fees. If the referred person uses BNB for fee deduction, your commission is in BNB. For USDT pair fees, your commission is in USDT.
Maximum Earning Potential
Theoretically, there's no cap. The more people you invite and the more actively they trade, the higher your commission income.
Practical example: If you invite 10 friends, each generating an average of 100 USDT in monthly fees. At 20% commission, you earn 200 USDT per month from these 10 people.
With strong promotional ability and 100 active referrals, monthly commissions could reach thousands of USDT.
Realistically, most regular users invite a limited number of friends, earning perhaps tens to hundreds of dollars monthly. But it's pure passive income -- once set up, it requires no further effort.
Promotional Channels
Common methods include: sharing directly with friends and family, posting Binance-related content on social media with your referral link, recommending on your blog or website, and sharing in crypto communities.
Note that you cannot use misleading language in promotions, such as "guaranteed profits." Binance has rules governing promotional behavior.
Commission Duration
Once a referral relationship is established, commissions last forever. As long as the referred person's account exists and is trading, you continue earning. No expiration, no interruptions.
But if the referred person deletes their account or stops trading, the commission naturally ends.
Summary
Binance referral commissions are a continuous passive income stream. Regular users get 20% commission rate, upgradeable to 40% with 500+ BNB. Commissions settle in real time and last indefinitely. Your income depends on how many users you invite and how actively they trade. Sharing commissions with referred users boosts their motivation to sign up.
