Binance announced on 12 November 2026 that it will levy American Depositary Receipt (ADR) fees on certain US equities traded through its Binance Stock Trading platform starting in October 2026.
The exchange said the fees are imposed by the depositary banks that issue the ADRs and will be added to the transaction cost shown to users. Binance provided a link to a page where the fee schedule for each eligible security can be viewed. Fees vary by security and are typically a fraction of a percent of the trade value.
Binance is a global cryptocurrency exchange that expanded into traditional securities in 2024, offering US‑listed stocks to retail investors via ADRs. An ADR represents shares of a foreign issuer held by a US depositary bank, allowing the stock to be traded on US markets in dollar terms. ADRs enable investors to avoid foreign exchange conversion and settle in US dollars, but they also carry the bank's custody fees.
The move means traders will see higher effective costs when buying or selling the affected equities, and it signals Binance’s effort to be transparent about ancillary charges. Users should review the posted fee table and monitor any future adjustments as depositary banks revise their rates. The fee disclosure aligns with recent regulatory guidance in the US and Europe that emphasises clear cost communication for retail investors.
