That's what I like about market competition: if Binance does it, competitors will need to make similar moves or offer something else that is no less attractive to their users if they don't want to lose customers. Binance is a good exchange company. Of course, many are unhappy with it because of its KYC policy and how tightly it follows international and local legislations (such as abiding by EU anti-Russian sanctions), but it's a reputable and convenient platform. With their level of popularity, they probably don't need trading fees for revenue anymore, so I'd a good move.

If the platform focuses on providing better and cheaper services to users instead of wasting money on football leagues or Cristiano Ronaldo and YouTube channels, things will be better.
When will they adopt the Lightning Network? It would be better than keeping the fees low, which I doubt they'll keep at zero forever.
Better and cheaper services would attract more persons to use Bitcoin for business and other transactions. Signing sponsorship deals with football stars and other celebrates also help to spread the gospel of Bitcoin, hence it is also a good strategy to attract more people to the Bitcoin fold. We must not also forget that Binance is a business and must cover its running cost and also make profit. Generally, I always celebrate any perceived good news that would directly or indirectly promote the adoption and use of Bitcoin. Hence, still in the atmosphere of five years anniversary celebration, I request that this trade fees removal should continue for a longer period.

World largest crypto currency exchange, Binance celebrate their 5 years anniversary and with this comes the announcement to remove trading fees in it's worldwide platform.
 This initiative was promoted by a strategy devised by its US subsidiary, Binance.US. who smashed fees for Bitcoin spot traders with an aim to foster growth, increase its popularity and also boost competition. The move taken by Binance.US has sorely affected the stocks of rivals, Coinbase and this will take effect from 8th of July 2022.
 Reports have it that Coinbase stock fall by 10% as announcement on Wednesday by rival crypto currency exchange company, Binance was released same day as well, of their intentions to make sure users be able to spot trade across 13 stable coins and fiat combination including BTC/ usdt, BTC usdc and BTC/ BUSD. This news should elate traders as they can be able to enjoy the fee cut benefit with US dollars. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/07/06/binance-extends-zero-fee-bitcoin-trading-globally/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiKnKbG9-b4AhUqQEEAHUTGDOcQFXoECAEQAg&usg=AOvVaw2uvS5um43s7TIK2-IVMlHl
I think these days the listing fees, withdrawal fees and primarily the funding fees from leveraged position is enough for any exchange to operate smoothly so taking the hit of the overall trading fees in spot exchanges to foster your popularity isn't a bad idea that also when there are exchanges becoming your good competitors. This in longer run will make people habitual of trading and infact will bring people to leverage trading, so it's more of a cross selling strategy.

Considering the trading fee cut, it's particularly from the BTC to USD right which means that not all traders would be able to enjoy it, at the same time during trading many people used usdt, which had a massive setback in the recent months and caused so much unrest as well. Therefore I do think that their new promotion or the celebration of anniversary would have limited party goers as well. The fact that there are other trading platforms offering different fee should make people more choosy, since even if you set back this fee at some trading places you can find better price which sometimes changes according to the country as well.
Then again at least they did something amazing for people! That's good, most of them would he able to gain profits and people making big trades would be highly benefited.

Not Your Keys, Not Your Bitcoin
They have mentioned this and they might disqualify any trades if they feel many users taking too much advantages on their promotions and might stop it intentionally if they it's already enough. Honestly 0.1% fees in Binance isn't expensive and I don't think I need to sell my coins to save 0.1% fees only considering Bitcoin price drop around 65% lol. I will keep holding and wouldn't care such promotions.

In anticipation of the potential problems zero trading fees might cause, Binance has reserved the right to “disqualify trades that are deemed to be wash trades or [from] illegally bulk registered accounts, as well as trades that display attributes of self-dealing or market manipulation.”

Of course, freebies from a big place like Binance would have terms and conditions, but if you follow their tweets, CZ purposely did that to appreciate traders as a form of a bear market discount so that traders wouldn't get discouraged, especially now that it is very sad some traders aren't making many percentage gains.

You undervalue Binance, according to some of their recent report, they claim that most of their revenue comes from institutional investors, that 0.1% is significant with those that have the power to switch between USDT and BTC except traders who frequently get discount for holding some bnb.

The competition between platforms is good for users, as the platforms will compete in offering lower fees and various services without closing accounts randomly because there is always an alternative ready to meet the desires of traders, so I think it is more bad news for Coinbase.
Will the cancellation be temporary for the celebration period (which may extend for a week or a month) or will it be open until this policy is changed?
Surprised how they have cash flow at a time when most platforms are struggling.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
They took the right reward initiative choosing bitcoin which has certainly prospectively become a favorite trading pair of all traders. Keep in mind that at some point they will remove this gift, so anyone don't get too excited.
Validity Period: 2022-07-08 14:00 (UTC) until further notice

Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend binance's anniversary party due to (imo) inconvenient policies.

Yeah it probably won't be noticed, the spread is normally the part of trading that costs the most too.

I saw claims coinbase had a trackable price premium over binance too, if this is still the case (especially at times of volatility) then a fee reduction might improve things for buyers but do little for sellers there.
