BNB Chain Extends Zero-Fee Campaign for USDC, USD1 and U
BNB Chain has extended its 0 Fee Carnival through September 30, 2026, at 23:59 UTC, continuing a promotion that covers gas fees for selected USDC, USD1 and U transactions.
The campaign applies to eligible withdrawals, wallet-to-wallet transfers and cross-chain bridging, giving users ways to move supported stablecoins onto or across BNB Chain without paying the usual network gas costs.
According to the campaign update, more than $4.5 million in gas fees has already been covered for users. The extension keeps the same basic terms in place through the end of September.
Zero-Fee Stablecoin Transactions Continue
The campaign is designed around a straightforward use case: reducing the cost of moving stablecoins.
Users can withdraw eligible assets from participating centralized exchanges, transfer supported tokens between wallets on BNB Smart Chain, or bridge USDC from supported networks to BSC without paying the applicable gas costs covered by the promotion.
The three supported assets are USDC, USD1 and U. However, the exact availability depends on the exchange, wallet, asset and network involved. Users therefore need to select the supported network and asset combination when making a transaction.
For information about the underlying network, users can refer to BNB Chain's official website.
Major Exchanges Offer Eligible Withdrawals
The zero-fee campaign covers withdrawals from several centralized exchanges, including Binance, Bitget, MEXC, Ourbit, BingX, LBank and HTX.
On Binance, the listed options include USD1 on BNB Smart Chain, with a minimum withdrawal amount of $10. USDC is supported on opBNB, with a minimum withdrawal amount of $20, while U is available on BNB Smart Chain with a $5 minimum withdrawal.
Bitget supports USDC on BNB Smart Chain with a $10 minimum withdrawal, while MEXC supports USD1 with a $5 minimum and USDC with a $10 minimum.
Ourbit lists USDC and USD1 on BNB Smart Chain, with a $10 minimum for USDC. BingX and LBank list USDC on BSC without a specified minimum in the campaign information, while HTX supports USD1 on BSC without a stated minimum. The campaign also notes that HTX supports USD1 with zero fees permanently.
Because minimum withdrawal requirements can differ between platforms, the promotion does not mean every withdrawal amount or every network is automatically eligible.
Wallet-to-Wallet Transfers Also Covered
The campaign extends beyond centralized exchanges to direct wallet transfers.
Supported wallets listed in the campaign include Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, SafePal, TokenPocket, Coin98 and imToken, among others.
The transfer limits differ by asset. USD1 and U transfers are unlimited, while USDC users receive two free transfers per day. The minimum eligible transfer amount is $0.10.
The zero-fee wallet benefit applies specifically to direct wallet-to-wallet transfers on BNB Smart Chain. Transfers involving unsupported networks or transaction types are not covered by the stated terms.
For users who regularly move stablecoins between personal wallets, this can remove one of the costs normally associated with blockchain transactions: the network fee paid to process a transaction.
Cross-Chain USDC Bridging Gets Zero-Fee Support
The campaign also covers selected bridges for users bringing USDC onto BNB Chain from other networks.
Celer cBridge supports USDC bridging from Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche and Optimism to BNB Smart Chain, with the campaign listing a $0 bridge fee for the eligible route.
Users can also use Meson.fi for USDC bridging from Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism and Tron. Under the campaign terms, Meson provides a 100% rebate on the applicable bridge fee.
Celer cBridge is one of the listed bridging options, while Meson.fi provides another route for eligible USDC transfers.
It is important to distinguish a bridge fee from every possible cost associated with cross-chain transactions. The campaign specifically describes the supported routes and fee coverage, so users should check the selected bridge and route before confirming a transfer.
What the $4.5 Million in Covered Fees Means
The campaign says more than $4.5 million in gas fees has already been covered for users.
Rather than those costs being paid directly by users moving supported stablecoins, the campaign absorbs eligible gas expenses under its stated conditions. That can be particularly relevant for frequent stablecoin users who regularly withdraw funds from exchanges, transfer assets between wallets or move liquidity between blockchain networks.
The initiative also reflects the broader effort to make stablecoin activity less expensive on BNB Chain. Stablecoins such as USDC and USD1 are commonly used for transferring dollar-denominated value within crypto markets, while lower transaction costs can make routine transfers more practical.
However, the promotion remains limited by its eligibility rules. The supported assets, networks, platforms, transfer frequency and minimum amounts vary depending on the transaction type.
0 Fee Carnival Runs Through September 30
The extension gives users another month to take advantage of the campaign.
The current promotion remains active until September 30, 2026, at 23:59 UTC. Until that deadline, eligible users can withdraw, transfer or bridge USDC, USD1 and U under the campaign's zero-gas-fee conditions.
For withdrawals, users can access the promotion through participating exchanges. For wallet transfers, the benefit applies to eligible direct transactions on BNB Smart Chain. For cross-chain activity, USDC users can use the listed Celer cBridge and Meson.fi routes.
The key point is that users do not need to change how they normally initiate these transactions. The campaign is intended to cover the applicable gas costs for qualifying activity while the promotion remains active.
