Binance Launches New Commission-Sharing System With Seven-Level Structure

Cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced the introduction of a new feature to its affiliate program in an official announcement published on November 9, 2026. Known as Sub-Affiliate, the system allows existing affiliates to share their commission earnings with sub-affiliates they invite to the platform. Under the new model, which can expand across seven levels, each main affiliate will be able to work with up to 50 sub-affiliates. Binance emphasized that commissions will be generated exclusively from actual trading activity.

Binance Introduces New Commission-Sharing Rules

Under the new system, main affiliates can allocate a portion of their commission rates to sub-affiliates. These sub-affiliates can then establish their own teams within the specified limits. As a result, the program introduces a multi-level commission-sharing structure that extends beyond a single referral link.

According to Binance's rules, affiliates must allocate at least 20% of both their Spot and Futures commission rates when inviting a new sub-affiliate. The inviting participant must also retain at least 5% of the total commission rate at the initial stage. The combined commissions distributed among team members cannot exceed the main affiliate's allocated commission rate.

Binance also provided a practical example in its explanatory guide. In a scenario where a main affiliate holds a 50% commission rate, allocates 40% to a first-level sub-affiliate, and assigns 30% to a second-level sub-affiliate, a referral generating 100 USDT in eligible trading fees would produce a total commission of 50 USDT. Under this arrangement, the main affiliate receives 10 USDT, the first-level sub-affiliate earns 10 USDT, and the second-level sub-affiliate receives 30 USDT. These example rates do not represent a guarantee of fixed earnings.

Who Can Participate in the New System?

Users interested in joining the Sub-Affiliate program must complete identity verification and maintain an active Binance Futures account. Individuals who previously held Binance Affiliate status, users who are already sub-affiliates within another team, and those holding Co-Inviter status are not eligible to participate in the new program.

Participation does not require any fees or mandatory deposits. Furthermore, sub-affiliates are not obligated to recruit additional participants. Instead, they can earn commissions solely from eligible trading activities generated by users they personally refer. Payments will be processed directly by Binance rather than passing through another affiliate's account.

However, the new system will not be available in every country. Binance emphasized that the service remains subject to local regulations and regional restrictions. Invitations will also expire after seven days if they are not accepted.

Another important consideration is that commission earnings are not fixed. Binance may reduce commission rates based on affiliate performance evaluations or compliance violations. In certain circumstances, sanctions or account restrictions imposed on an upper-level affiliate could even result in commissions being reduced to zero for sub-affiliates operating beneath that participant.

Kriptofoni Assessment

Binance's new model creates opportunities for cryptocurrency exchanges to expand their user acquisition strategies beyond individual referrals and toward broader affiliate networks. The structure could enable new forms of collaboration, particularly among content creators, community managers, and affiliates involved in digital marketing.

However, the fact that commissions depend on trading fees remains an important consideration. Expanding an affiliate network does not necessarily mean that participants will experience a proportional increase in earnings. Additionally, changes to commission rates at higher levels may affect participants further down the network, limiting income predictability.

One of the key factors determining the new model's success will be whether affiliate networks can generate sustainable commission revenue from genuine user activity, rather than simply increasing the number of participants within the system.
