Binance announced in a press release that it will adjust the tick size for multiple USDⓈ-M perpetual futures contracts on October 8, 2025.
According to Binance, the tick size adjustment aims to fine-tune its derivatives market efficiency by modifying the minimum price movement allowed for specific USDⓈ-M Perpetual Futures pairs, including AIAUSDT, BNTUSDT, DOODUSDT, and LIGHTUSDT. Such technical updates typically enhance liquidity by allowing smoother price discovery and tighter bid-ask spreads, aligning Binance’s contract precision with prevailing market volatility. The change also underscores Binance’s ongoing push toward more sophisticated API integration, enabling traders to adapt algorithmic strategies effectively.
Binance’s derivatives division continues to dominate global futures trading, maintaining a market share above 55% of all crypto derivatives volume as of the third quarter of 2025, according to Coinglass data. The exchange routinely surpasses $60 billion in daily futures turnover, reflecting high institutional and retail activity.
Adjustments to tick size have historically improved order book depth by 10–15% on major exchanges following similar changes, according to a 2023 study by Kaiko. This results in reduced slippage for large trades and improved liquidity concentration around key price levels.
Founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao and headquartered in Malta, Binance is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. The platform offers spot, futures, and options trading across hundreds of digital assets. Its mission is to accelerate cryptocurrency adoption and increase global financial freedom through scalable trading infrastructure and innovation in blockchain-based finance.
