BNB Chain said that it extended its 0 Fee Carnival through March 31, 2026, keeping gas sponsorship in place for USDC, USD1, and U across selected transfers and withdrawals. In its announcement, the network also said it has already covered more than $4.5 million in stablecoin gas costs.
The 0 Fee Carnival continues.
We’ve already covered $4.5M+ in stablecoin gas fees and power ~40% of all stablecoin transactions.

The extension keeps zero-fee support active across participating centralized exchanges, wallet-to-wallet transfers on BSC, and selected cross-chain bridging routes into the ecosystem. The program continues to focus on lowering friction for everyday stablecoin use, while applying platform-specific limits depending on the asset, venue, and transfer type.
The next point to watch is whether the campaign drives further stablecoin inflows and broader ecosystem usage before the new March 31 deadline. For users and market participants, the immediate issue is whether more exchanges, wallets, and bridge providers deepen support as BNB Chain tries to reinforce its role in global stablecoin settlement.
