Quick Take

  • Binance will list bitcoin and ether trading pairs for First Digital USD tomorrow.
  • The BTC/FDUSD trading pair will temporarily have no trading fees.

Binance will launch bitcoin and ether trading pairs for the new stablecoin First Digital USD tomorrow — with the former set to temporarily have no trading fees.

Trading for BTC/FDUSD — part of its zero-fee bitcoin trading program — and ETH/FDUSD will open on the leading crypto exchange on Aug. 4 at 8:00 a.m. UTC.

Binance first listed First Digital USD on July 26, when it began offering maker-fee-free trading for FDUSD/BNB, FDUSD/USDT and FDUSD/BUSD sport trading pairs. Technical issues at that time caused the exchange to halt FDUSD trading, however briefly.
