On July 22, 2025, at 11:00 AM Turkish time, cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced the addition of ETC/USDC, GRT/USDC, and ROSE/USDC pairs to its spot market. Alongside these listings, the platform will expand services for Spot Algo Orders, Spot Grid, and Spot DCA bots to include these new pairs. The exchange emphasized that the discounted taker fees for all USDC pairs will continue indefinitely.
Binance Expands USDC Pair Trading Options
The new listings will allow users to trade Ethereum 
$2,318 Classic (ETC), The Graph (GRT), and Oasis Network (ROSE) directly against USDC. The listings will go live on July 22 at 11:00 AM Turkish time, thereby instantly boosting the liquidity of the exchange. Due to their stable price, USDC-based pairs serve as a safe haven during periods of high volatility.
The Binance team summarized the addition of new pairs as a step to enhance user experience and increase transaction options. The announcement reiterated that regional eligibility criteria remain consistent and the list of restricted countries may be updated based on legal changes. Account verification is mandatory for participation, and no schedule was provided for the end of the discounted commission.
The discounted taker fee application reduces costs for investors trading in USDC pairs. Binance limits the duration of the fee reduction to the next notification. This initiative is seen as a key part of the exchange’s strategy to grow its USDC ecosystem.
Spot Bot Services to Include New Pairs
Spot Algo Orders will now operate seamlessly with ETC/USDC, GRT/USDC, and ROSE/USDC pairs. Meanwhile, Spot Grid and Spot DCA services will be extended to include PENGU/USDC and XLM/USDC. This facilitates investors utilizing algorithmic strategies to adapt to price movements without manual intervention.
Binance identifies bot integration as a strategic enhancement aimed at investors seeking speed and consistency under demanding market circumstances. Supported pairs will allow investors to save time and gain risk control advantages. The exchange also commits to monitoring the order book in real-time to promptly address any potential disruptions as bot services go live.
