Binance upgrades Execution Services with aggregated OTC liquidity
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and users, said it has upgraded its Execution Services to include aggregated spot and options liquidity from a wider network of providers, alongside its own native order books.
The company said the changes are designed to prioritise flow internalisation, aimed at improving speed, price performance, and execution times for large-volume users.
Depending on their needs, clients will have access to either over-the-counter risk-pricing or customised execution, with Binance’s desk using algorithmic tools and liquidity sources to manage orders.
Binance said it supports two main types of algorithmic trading — Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP) and Percentage of Volume (POV).
Users can manage their own algorithmic trades through the Binance VIP Portal or request assistance, with the option to set specific trading instructions.
The company added that, similar to traditional finance, its over-the-counter (OTC) offering allows users to secure risk-based pricing for large transactions, helping to minimise slippage and limit market impact, particularly for less liquid assets.
Binance said it aggregates and delivers the most competitive live OTC quotes once a request is made, with settlement possible in as little as 15 minutes, compared with the industry norm of T+1.
Users can also opt for longer settlement windows depending on liquidity requirements.
The number of VIP and institutional users on Binance grew by 21% and 20% respectively, in H1/2025 as compared to H1/2024.
Trading volume for the two categories grew by 10% and 12% respectively, for the same period.
Who is the Execution Services designed for?
According to Binance, the upgraded Execution Services are designed to cater to a broad spectrum of institutional and sophisticated users.
The offering targets large-volume traders seeking to lock in pricing and reduce slippage, as well as long-term holders with limited trading activity who may prefer to outsource execution for convenience.
The exchange said mid-sized entities, including hedge funds, can use its OTC services to complement existing strategies, while high-frequency trading firms have the option of becoming liquidity providers, taking advantage of their significant trading volumes.
“Clients who prioritize pricing and speed for larger trades will enjoy our enhanced OTC service, and clients who prefer bespoke execution can also rely on us to fully manage the process for them. By tailoring solutions for the different segments, we help sophisticated clients from high-net-worth individuals and family offices to larger institutions optimize their crypto experience,” commented Catherine Chen, Head of VIP & Institutional at Binance.
