Binance has lowered the minimum holding requirement for VIP1 to $100,000 and 5 BNB, effectively reducing the entry barrier.
This should make it more accessible. Fees are also reduced; USDC and traditional asset contracts now have zero order fees. Stablecoins are virtually risk-free now, and with USDC and USD1, transaction costs are significantly lowered, diminishing USDT's advantage.
However, the fact that grid trading currently only supports USDT is a major drawback. Hopefully, USDC and USD1 will be supported soon; I'm less inclined to hold USDT.
