Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by multiple high-authority sources. The first part of the statement, "Binance will open trading for new spot pairs," is confirmed across numerous official announcements for different tokens, including United Stables (U) and Fogo (FOGO). The second part, "and launch a zero-fee promotion," is also explicitly confirmed in relation to the United Stables (U) listing. The highest-authority source, the official Binance Support directory, links to an announcement for the listing of United Stables (U) that includes a zero-fee trading promotion. This is corroborated by several posts from Justin Sun on Binance's official social platform, Binance Square, which detail the new U/USDT and U/USDC spot pairs and the associated zero-fee promotion. While some sources detail the listing of a different token (FOGO) without mentioning a promotion, this does not contradict the statement but rather shows that promotions are not applied to every new listing. The statement is true as long as at least one instance of a new listing with a promotion occurs, which the evidence for the United Stables (U) token confirms. One source about the 'U' token omits the promotion, but this is outweighed by the multiple, explicit confirmations from more authoritative sources.
