Binance has announced plans to adjust the tick size on several USDⓈ-M perpetual futures contracts, aiming to enhance market liquidity and trading efficiency. The tick size, which is the minimum price increment for futures contract prices, plays a critical role in order placement and liquidity.
According to Binance’s announcement, these changes are intended to optimize the user trading experience and open interest by aligning contract increments with trading activity. The company reassured that overall futures trading operations will remain unaffected by these backend adjustments.
On August 25, 2025, at 07:00 UTC, Binance will implement the tick size revisions on eight USDⓈ-M perpetual futures pairs. These include AIOTUSDT, IPUSDT, IPUSDC, ESPORTSUSDT, AEVOUSDT, SWELLUSDT, BICOUSDT, and HOOKUSDT. The announcement specifies that AIOTUSDT, IPUSDT, and IPUSDC will adjust from 0.00001 to 0.0001 while ESPORTSUSDT and AEVOUSDT will change from 0.0001 to 0.00001 among other pair-specific updates. These adjustments aim to reflect liquidity characteristics and improve price accuracy across diverse contracts.
Binance emphasized that existing orders will not be disrupted by the update; orders placed before the tick size shift will still be matched according to their original values. Additionally, API users are advised to use the GET /fapi/v1/exchangeInfo endpoint to access the latest tick size data directly from the exchange. This ensures uninterrupted automated trading and seamless integration across both user interfaces and algorithmic strategies.
As the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, Binance offers a comprehensive ecosystem including spot and derivatives markets, wallets, research, education, and passive income products. According to its About page, Binance supports users in over 180 countries and regularly updates its infrastructure to optimize market performance. This capability allows Binance to efficiently deploy technical enhancements such as tick size tuning across its global user base.
