Binance cuts USD SWIFT withdrawal fee from $60 to $25
Binance announced a substantial reduction in its USD withdrawal fee for SWIFT bank transfers. Effective immediately, the fee for both individual and corporate users has been lowered from $60 per withdrawal to $25. USD deposits via SWIFT remain free of charge. The change aims to lower fiat withdrawal costs for users who move dollars off-exchange via the SWIFT network. No further operational details or timetable changes were disclosed.

Lowering SWIFT USD withdrawal fees reduces frictions and cost for users moving fiat off exchanges, improving user experience but not directly altering crypto supply, protocol economics, or trading fundamentals. The change could modestly encourage more withdrawals (net outflows) from Binance by making withdrawals cheaper, which in short term might increase selling pressure if users withdraw to fiat and sell, but the fee cut is relatively small compared with market-moving liquidity and is unlikely to trigger major price moves. Historically, fee adjustments by exchanges tend to have neutral-to-moderate market impact unless paired with regulatory or operational shocks. Longer term, improved fiat rail economics can support greater user activity and onboarding, a modestly positive structural effect, while near-term impact depends on trader behavior and macro liquidity conditions.
