ZEC $1,137 Binance opens free AI trading, yet user liability remains 100%
Binance's free Standard plan for AI Pro covers software only, users still fund trades and carry losses.
Key takeaways
- Free covers software only. The Standard plan waives the monthly software fee, but users still supply trading funds and pay separate trading fees.
- Credits are capped. Standard includes 250,000 monthly credits with no top-ups, while Premium costs $19.99 a month for 10 million credits.
- Checks are not quality tests. Binance says its workflow checks do not assess profitability, quality or likely performance of a strategy.
What happened
Binance released a free Standard tier of its AI Pro tool on Oct. 19. The plan lets users create, test and deploy automated trading strategies without a monthly software charge. It runs on DeepSeek and includes 250,000 usage credits that refresh every month.
The free tier does not allow credit top-ups. A Premium plan costs $19.99 per month and includes 10 million monthly credits, extra AI models where available, and the option to buy more credits.
The new release is separate from an earlier paid beta that opened on March 25 to a limited group at an introductory $9.99 monthly charge. First-time beta users got a seven-day trial at no charge if they switched the service off during that week. Binance says the beta is still running and existing subscriptions remain active, so users can run both at once.
Users describe an idea in conversation, and AI Pro turns it into a visual workflow for review. Binance's examples include a recurring Bitcoin purchase plan and a daily market report.
Why it matters
Binance says its workflow checks only confirm that coded logic runs without errors. The company states those checks do not assess a strategy's profitability, quality or likely performance, so a workflow that passes can still hold a weak trading idea.
Going live takes two separate steps. The user must explicitly approve the workflow, then move funds into a dedicated sub-account, and each strategy runs in its own isolated sub-account rather than the main account. Changing a workflow's logic creates a new version that needs fresh approval. After deployment, users can pause, adjust or revoke access.
It says users remain responsible for their investment decisions and trading losses, and its announcement notes the products may be unavailable in some regions.
What is still unclear
- Binance has not said how many users have joined the free Standard plan or how many strategies have gone live.
- The announcement does not list which regions will lack access to the new AI Pro release.
