Cryptocurrency Exchange Binance has comprehensively upgraded liquidity and optional liquidity from a wide range of provider networks, following the information provided to Finbold on August 28th. The move is designed to provide closer spreads and faster execution to facility clients.
Enhanced execution capabilities
The new setup allows users to choose to run a fully managed bespoke order via Instant Over the Counter (OTC) risk pricing or Binance’s algorithmic trading tool.
Currently, the exchange supports the percentage of time-weighted average price (TWAP) and volume (POV) strategies. This can be done independently via the Binance VIP portal or with the assistance of Binance’s trading desk.
Like traditional finance, OTC transactions allow large participants to ensure risk-based pricing for large transactions, while minimizing slippage and market impact.
Binance noted that settlements could occur in just 15 minutes compared to the T+1 industry norm, and that there is a flexible option for an expanded payment window.
“Clients who prioritize pricing and speed of larger transactions will enjoy our enhanced OTC services. Clients who prefer to run custom orders can also rely on us to fully manage their processes.” said Catherine Chen, head of Binance’s VIP & Institutional. “By coordinating solutions across different segments, we help sophisticated clients, from rich individual and family offices to large institutions, optimize their crypto experience.”
Binance reported that VIP and institutional user bases increased 21% and 20% in the first half of 2025, respectively, with corresponding trading volumes increasing by 10% and 12%.
“We are strengthening our execution capabilities along with other products to ensure that institutional clients continue to be positioned properly to support the growing demand for crypto exposure.” Chen added.
The upgrade reflects the ongoing efforts by major exchanges to replicate traditional financial infrastructure within the digital asset market as demand for institutions continues to expand.
