According to the official announcement, Binance will launch ADA/U, DOGE/U and PEPE/U spot trading pairs on Feb. 25, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. UTC. While Cardano, Dogecoin and Pepe Coin dominate the news, it seems that the real deal here is the expanding role of the United Stables’s U token as a base currency on the world’s largest exchange.
The rollout is backed by some “pretty aggressive” fee incentives as all eligible users will get zero maker fees on ADA/U, DOGE/U and PEPE/U spot and margin pairs from the launch time until further notice.
Why Binance pairs mega-caps like DOGE and ADA with U
For high-volume assets like Cardano, Dogecoin and PEPE, cutting maker costs on new stablecoin pairings seems like a marketing move to boost the order book depth for U and eventually increase the stablecoin’s trading volume, which is currently at $57.01 million, according to CoinMarketCap.

Listings show how Binance sees U as a way to settle payments in different currencies. By adding some of the most popular crypto mega-caps to the U base, Binance is bringing in the same flow that is already established and putting it right into the new stablecoin layer.
First listed on Binance this January, U is described as fully backed 1:1 by cash, U.S. Treasury bills and audited stablecoins, with reserves held in segregated accounts and subject to third-party verification. It is available on BNB Chain and Ethereum, and supports signature-based transfers under EIP-3009.
Pairing U with ADA, DOGE and PEPE puts the stablecoin at the center of large-cap and retail-driven volume streams.
So, the plan for Binance with U may be as follows: pull together all the different dollar liquidity into one asset, subsidize early trading activity and let the market determine whether BNB-friendly U can evolve into a primary quote currency within Binance’s spot market.
