This Binance feature is especially made for crypto traders who wish to earn from their idle digital assets during sideways condition.

Binance Range Bound

Binance is the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world by trading volume. By the end of 2022, the company had more than 128 million registered users. Binance offers a wide range of promotions and features that are aimed to satisfy clients with various backgrounds and needs. One of the most recent launches is called Range Bound.

Binance Range Bound is a product that offers rewards to users who can successfully predict that the price of a certain asset will stay in a certain range during the subscription period.

It is based on the range-bound trading strategy, which involves buying an asset when the price is at the lower end of the range (support line) and selling when the price is moving toward the upper end of the range (resistance line). This method is commonly used in sideway markets when the price is more likely to stay within the range than to break out.

How Binance Range Bound Works

As a product that rewards users for making the correct prediction of a certain asset's price movement during a certain period, Binance Range Bound aims to predict when the reference price of the chosen digital asset stays within the pre-determined price range during the entire subscription period.

Once the subscription period begins, digital assets that you use to subscribe will be immediately transferred from your Spot account to your Range Bound account. Keep in mind that you won't be able to cancel the subscription or withdraw the deposited funds under any condition until the subscription period ends.  

To receive greater rewards, you may decide a certain percentage of the subscription amount to be forfeited if the reference price ends up touching or breaking the upper/lower level of the selected price range during the subscription period. So, the higher the subscription at-risk amount, the higher the potential APR.

There are two possible outcomes that you may get in Binance Range Bound:

  • If the reference price stays within the price range during the whole subscription period, then your deposited digital assets will be transferred back to your Spot account and you will receive the corresponding APR within six hours of the settlement date.
    Scenario 1

  • If the reference price touches or breaks the price range at any point during the subscription period, then you will have the subscription amount at risk forfeited and you will not be entitled to any rewards.
    Scenario 2

 

The Calculation of Range Bound Rewards

The potential APR in Binance is calculated using the following formula:

Range Bound Digital Assets (Potential APR% Subscription Period / 365)

Let's say that you subscribe to Range Bound with the following conditions:

  • The preferred digital assets are BUSD1000
  • The subscription period is 10 days
  • The underlying digital currency is ABC
  • The upper price range is BUSD100 and the lower price range is BUSD 90
  • The subscription amount at risk percentage is 2%
  • The potential APR is 5%

If the reference price stays within the price range on the settlement date, Binance will transfer back your deposited BUSD1000 along with the rewards of BUSD1000 (5% 10 / 365) = BUSD1.3689

In total, you will receive BUSD1001.3689 on the settlement date at 08:00 UTC. The amount will be reflected in your Spot account approximately within six hours.

If the reference price is equal to or exceeds the price range, you will not get any rewards, but Binance will still transfer your digital assets minus the subscription amount at risk.

In total, you will get BUSD1000 - (BUSD 1000 2%) = BUSD980. In this sense, you've made a loss of BUSD20.

 

The Bottom Line

Binance Range Bound can be a perfect solution for crypto traders who are aware of their risk tolerance and have a good understanding of technical analysis. It also offers high flexibility because you can decide your own conditions based on your needs and personal preferences.

However, it is important to note that this product is not without risks. Given the volatile nature of crypto markets in general, building a strong range-bound strategy may not be that simple. If you're not careful, you may end up getting less than the amount you deposited during your subscription. This is why you must ensure to read all the terms and conditions before subscribing and learn how to minimize risks.
