Binance announced on its website that it will adjust the tick size—the minimum change in unit price—for several USDⓈ-M Perpetual Futures Contracts. This move aims to boost market liquidity and enhance users’ trading experience.
According to the Binance support announcement, the exchange noted that this tick size adjustment is intended to improve market liquidity and the trading experience for users of its USDⓈ-M Perpetual Futures Contracts. The announcement clarifies that trading operations for USDⓈ-M Futures will not be affected and that API tick size information will be updated. It also emphasizes that existing orders will remain unaffected by the change, thereby providing continuity for traders.
The specific trading pairs subject to tick size adjustments include EVAAUSDT, XPINUSDT, TACUSDT, AI16ZUSDT, TNSRUSDT, AKTUSDT, KDAUSDT, MOVEUSDT, GUSDT, MAVIAUSDT, and SYNUSDT. For example, EVAAUSDT’s tick size will change from 0.0001 to 0.001, while XPINUSDT will move from 0.0000001 to 0.000001. These changes indicate that Binance is increasing the minimum price increment for some contracts to presumably reduce quote noise and improve order-book quality.
The Binance announcement also states that the tick size update via API will take effect concurrently and advises developers and automated traders to use the GET /fapi/v1/exchangeInfo endpoint to retrieve the latest tick size parameters. It emphasizes that orders placed before the update will still match with the original tick size, thus avoiding unexpected losses or mismatches for existing positions. Additionally, the notice includes a reminder to refer to the original English version for accuracy as translations may differ.
