Binance Sets $10 Monthly Minimum Fee for Some EU Accounts

Binance will impose a monthly minimum fee of 10 USDC on certain European Union accounts starting Nov. 29, adding a recurring charge for users with smaller balances.

The fee will equal 0.025% of an account’s remaining crypto balance or 10 USDC, whichever is higher. Accounts holding less than $40,000 in crypto will pay the flat 10 USDC minimum each month. That fixed floor means the charge does not fall with smaller balances. If an account’s remaining balance is less than the fee owed, Binance will collect the full balance.

Deposits to the affected accounts are disabled, while withdrawals remain available. The monthly charges begin more than a month before the accounts are scheduled to close on Dec. 31, 2026.

Binance says it continues to seek a license under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) in another EU country.
