Cryptocurrency exchange BINANCE has enhanced its Execution Services by aggregating spot and options liquidity from multiple providers alongside its native order books, targeting institutional and high-volume users with improved execution speeds and pricing.
The upgrade allows users to choose between instant over-the-counter (OTC) trading for spot and options, or fully-managed bespoke execution services. The new system prioritises flow internalisation to improve speed, price performance, and execution times for large-volume transactions.
The exchange, which is the world's largest by trading volume and registered users, now supports Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP) and Percentage of Volume (POV) algorithmic trading strategies. Users can manage these algorithms directly through the BINANCE VIP Portal or request assistance from the platform's VIP team.
The OTC service enables users to secure risk-pricing for large transactions whilst minimising market impact, particularly for illiquid assets. BINANCE aggregates competitive live OTC quotes when users initiate requests, with trades settling in as little as 15 minutes - a significant improvement over the industry standard of T+1 settlement.
The service targets various institutional user categories, including large-volume traders seeking to minimise slippage, long-term holders with infrequent trading experience, mid-sized hedge firms, and high-frequency trading firms that may become liquidity providers.

"Clients who prioritise 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 optimise their crypto experience."

BINANCE reported that VIP and institutional user numbers grew by 21% and 20% respectively in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Trading volumes for these categories increased by 10% and 12% respectively during the same timeframe.
"We are enhancing our execution capabilities alongside our other offerings to ensure we continue to be well-positioned to support our institutional clients' growing demand for exposure to crypto."
