Binance has kicked off its Referral Summer Finale, a monthlong leaderboard competition running from August 1 through August 31, 2026 (UTC), that rewards top referrers with a maximum prize of 8,000 USDC for first place.
The campaign is split into two tracks. The leaderboard competition awards points to referrers when the users they invite complete specific actions: two points for depositing at least 20 USD equivalent, three points for trading 100 USD or more in Spot or Convert, two points for trading 100 USD or more in bStocks, and two points for trading 200 USD or more in Futures. Each individual referral can generate a maximum of nine points during the campaign period.
How the Reward Tiers Break Down
Binance has structured the leaderboard payouts across a wide range of ranks. The top three spots receive 8,000, 6,000, and 4,000 USDC respectively, contingent on hitting minimum point thresholds of 5,000, 4,000, and 3,000 points. Ranks four through ten each earn 1,500 USDC with a 1,200-point minimum, while ranks 11 through 20 receive 1,000 USDC apiece at an 800-point minimum. Further down the leaderboard, ranks 21 through 50 collect 500 USDC each, and ranks 51 through 100 receive 210 USDC each.
Beyond the ranked tiers, Binance is also offering milestone rewards on a first-come basis: the first 200 qualifying referrers receive 80 USDC, the next tier of the first 500 receive 20 USDC, and the first 1,000 receive 10 USDC.
A Separate Track for New Users
The second half of the campaign, Promotion B, targets new users directly rather than their referrers. The first 15,000 eligible new users can earn between 2 and 10 USDC simply by completing all onboarding tasks. An additional 5 USDC is available to the first 5,000 users who go on to trade at least 100 USD equivalent in bStocks.
Payout Timeline
Rewards under the campaign will be distributed as token vouchers by September 21, 2026, and participants will have 14 days from distribution to redeem them. With a defined points system, tiered payouts spanning 100 ranked positions, and a separate new-user incentive track, the Referral Summer Finale represents one of Binance's more structured referral pushes of the year.
