Binance's own Earn promo terms are the only confirmed numbers here
The announcement states specific APR tiers and a fixed VIP reward pool. It does not state what any individual user will actually receive once that pool is claimed.
Risk boundary: A bonus APR schedule is a promotional term, not a guaranteed return. Rewards are pool-limited and first-come, first-served; the stated APR is not what every participant will necessarily receive.
What happened
Binance's own announcement, published August 14, 2026 at 19:00 UTC, states: "Binance Earn is excited to launch a new campaign for the U Simple Earn Flexible Products!" It sets the "Promotion Period: 2026-08-16 00:00:00 (UTC) to 2026-09-14 23:59:59 (UTC)."
The stated terms: regular users get "Real-Time APR (Approximately 0.5%) + 8% Bonus Tiered APR (Tier 0 - 5,000 U)"; VIP 1-9 users get the same Real-Time APR plus a "5% Bonus Tiered APR (Tier 0 - 500,000 U)." The announcement states "the total APR reward pool for VIP users is 500,000 U," distributed on a "first-come, first-served" basis, and specifies minimum and maximum per-user subscription limits of 0.01 U and 10,000,000 U.
Why it matters
This is Binance's own primary announcement, Tier A in Cyrvola's registry: it directly states the rate structure and the pool cap. Cyrvola treats these numbers as confirmed because they come from the platform operating the program, not from a third party summarizing it.
The announcement is also explicit about a limit that a headline APR figure can obscure: "Once the reward pool is fully claimed, the Bonus Tiered APR will no longer be visible to users who have not yet subscribed." An 8% or 5% bonus figure describes the best-case rate while the pool lasts, not a rate guaranteed for the full promotion period.
What the market is watching
The announcement also states that "it may take up to 48 hours for newly upgraded VIP users to see and subscribe to the special offer," meaning eligibility itself can lag a VIP-tier change. Cyrvola does not have data on how quickly the 500,000 U VIP pool was claimed after the promotion opened, since that would require an independent, separately timestamped check after August 16.
This dispatch makes no claim about whether the promotion drove new deposits into U-denominated products or affected any asset's price. It records only what Binance's own announcement states about eligibility, rates, and limits.
