BNB Chain teases gasless stablecoin transfers to crypto exchanges

As a seasoned crypto investor with years of experience navigating the volatile and ever-evolving world of digital assets, I find the recent announcement by BNB Chain to collaborate with centralized exchanges on fee-free stablecoin deposits a promising development.


The decentralized blockchain network, BNB Chain, has revealed its intention to partner with established cryptocurrency exchanges, aiming to facilitate fee-less stablecoin deposits for their users.

BNB Chain (previously known as Binance Smart Chain) is developing a novel aspect, which allows for transferring stablecoins without gas fees between centralized trading platforms. This endeavor aims to streamline digital transactions, making them more convenient.

According to a press release dated September 18th, which was distributed to crypto.news, the BNB Chain team announced that, upon its launch, zero-fee transactions will initially support well-known stablecoins such as Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and First Digital USD (FDUSD). These transactions will be made possible through collaborations with centralized exchanges like Binance, Bitget, Gate.io, HTX (previously known as Huobi), and MEXC.

MegaFuel, a gas-free solution created by NodeReal’s infrastructure provider, will cover the transaction fees. This innovation is backed by BNB Chain. Notably, BNB Chain also mentioned that gasless transactions can be facilitated directly to the exchanges through wallet providers such as Bitget Wallet and SafePal. Additionally, Binance Web3 Wallet and Trust Wallet are expected to support this feature soon.

BNB Chain bets on stablecoin’s bright future

Beyond just wallets, BNB Chain is collaborating with cross-bridge service providers such as Celer to facilitate gasless transactions between various blockchains, making it easier to transfer assets across different networks.

Nevertheless, the details are still undecided if BNB Chain has discussions ongoing with other inter-chain platforms regarding this project.

The network is not only exploring cryptocurrency transfers but also negotiating with payment platforms like Alchemy Pay, Oobit, Lunu, MugglePay, and Now Payment for the inclusion of crypto in everyday transactions. It remains uncertain if stablecoin payments through these providers will be restricted to certain types of purchases.

Through these partnerships, BNB Chain aims to enable “day-to-day transactions using stablecoins,” thereby turning cryptocurrency purchases into commonplace activities, such as buying a cup of coffee, by making them more convenient and cost-effective.

To increase user engagement, BNB Chain is planning a “Gasless Carnival Season” starting September 19. This event will waive withdrawal fees on stablecoins from participating centralized exchanges to BSC and opBNB, cover gas costs for transactions using supported wallets, and sponsor fee-free cross-chain transfers via compatible bridges.
