How this site is paid
One referral code, one link, and a commercial interest that is worth understanding before you read anything else here.
What is the arrangement?
This site holds a Binance referral code, BN8692. If someone registers a Binance account using that code, Binance pays this site a share of the trading fees that account subsequently generates.
That is the whole business model. There is no advertising, no sponsorship, no paid placement, no affiliate relationship with any other company, and nothing is sold on this site.
The payment is ongoing rather than one-off: it is a cut of fees as they are charged, not a bounty for the sign-up. Which means this site earns more when a referred account trades more. That is the incentive, stated plainly, and the rest of this page is about what is done to keep it from distorting the writing.
Does using the code cost me anything?
No. Binance describes referral commission as a share of the trading fees the referred account pays, so registering with a code adds no charge of its own. Whether any of that commission comes back to you as a rebate depends on how the link was set up.
Under Binance’s Referral Pro rules (FAQ updated 2026-08-05, read 2026-10-13), the commission and any rebate to the person invited are two parts of the same referral bonus: the referrer chooses on each link how much, if any, to share, Binance pays the shared part in USDC, and a link’s settings cannot be changed after it is created. The commission — and with it any rebate — stops once the referred account reaches spot VIP 3.
Two honest qualifications. This page does not promise a rebate of any particular size, because the figure belongs to the link rather than to a published Binance rate; the rebate records in your own account show what, if anything, arrives. And in absolute terms any rebate is a share of a fee that is already a fraction of a percent — on a small account it is measured in cents. The fee guide quantifies the fee itself rather than talking anything up.
Where does the link appear?
On exactly one page: inside the account setup guide, at the step where you open the registration page. Nowhere else in this edition — the Kiswahili and French editions each carry one equivalent link on their own version of that page.
Not in the navigation, not in the footer, not at the end of articles, not in the calculators. The code itself appears as plain text with a copy button and no link attached, on the homepage and in the referral-field section of the same guide, for anyone signing up in the Binance app, where it has to be pasted into the referral field.
This is deliberate and it is a constraint on the site rather than a courtesy. A site that funnels every page toward one sign-up link is a doorway with articles attached, and both search engines and readers can tell. The writing has to stand up on its own or the arrangement is not worth having.
The test applied to every page: would this still be worth publishing if the referral code did not exist? If the answer is no, it does not get published.
How does this affect what gets written?
It creates a bias toward encouraging trading, and the correction applied is to be specific about costs and blunt about risk even where that reduces sign-ups.
You should assume the incentive is real rather than take a promise that it is not. What you can check is whether the output looks like the output of a site trying to maximise sign-ups. A few things that would be different if it were:
- The account setup guide would not spend a section explaining that the referral discount is worth less than people expect on a small account.
- The liquidation calculator would not carry a note that most retail accounts trading leveraged crypto lose money.
- There would be a sign-up button in the navigation and at the end of every article.
- The withdrawal and slippage pieces would be shorter, because they explain costs that make trading look less attractive.
None of that makes this site neutral. It is not neutral. It means the bias is disclosed and partially counterweighted, which is the most any commercially funded publication can offer.
What is the relationship with Binance?
A referral code and nothing else. This site is not operated by, affiliated with, endorsed by or speaking for Binance.
Nothing here is reviewed or approved by them. Where this site describes their fees, tiers or processes it is reading their public pages the same way you can, and dating what it read. Where those descriptions go stale, that is this site’s error to correct, not theirs.
Binance can change the referral programme, the discount rate or the terms at any time, and can end the arrangement. If that happens the affected pages get updated and the change is logged on the corrections page.
Do you know if I signed up?
Not individually. This site sets no cookies and has no way to associate a visitor with an exchange account.
Whatever reporting the referral programme provides is aggregate and sits on the exchange’s side, not here. The one measurement script on this site is Google Analytics, running in a mode that stores nothing in your browser: it counts page views and knows nothing about who you are on the other end of a referral link — the privacy page sets out exactly what it does collect.
