【Blockchain Rhythm】There’s some good news worth noting. A major exchange has announced that on January 29, 2026, it will officially launch an updated VIP program, allowing all users to participate in fee optimization activities.
Specifically, starting from 00:00 (UTC) on January 29, 2026, trading designated FDUSD spot and leverage trading pairs will be subject to standard taker fees. These trading pairs include BTC/FDUSD, BNB/FDUSD, DOGE/FDUSD, ETH/FDUSD, LINK/FDUSD, SOL/FDUSD, and XRP/FDUSD. Market maker fees remain zero.
More importantly—starting from the same time—trading volume on these spot and leverage trading pairs will be officially included in the calculation of market maker and VIP level trading volumes. In other words, your trading activity on these pairs will directly impact your VIP level assessment. This is quite meaningful for traders who want to quickly upgrade to VIP and enjoy more benefits.

Market making fees are still zero, that's the key point.

so they're finally making FDUSD pairs count toward VIP tiers? read between the lines here—this is them trying to pump liquidity into stablecoins before institutional money moves in. classic move, seen it before.

Charging for order execution, market making still free, this move is not very friendly to retail investors.

Charging for order eating now, market making still free, this is forcing people to do market making.

Charging for order execution, market making is still free, the difference in treatment is truly remarkable.

ngl the fdusd pair expansion is just regulatory theater at this point... maker fees staying zero doesn't move the needle when adoption curves haven't even reached critical mass yet
