BTC China has become the world’s first major bitcoin exchange to scrap its trading commission fees, albeit temporarily.

The company, which launched in June 2011, was charging 0.3% for all trades made on the site before taking the decision to run a promotion eliminating this fee.

that makes volume go up. Gox did the same thing for a week, two years ago if I remember right, as a compensation to customers for some downtime.

If BTChina takes the lead, some time in the future, well... the Chinese tiger has BTC for eyes then!

Does anyone have a clue how long this 0% trading fee promotion will last (presumably) ?
