Binance Targets Institutional Clients with Enhanced Execution Speeds and External Liquidity Solutions

To better serve large and institutional clients, Binance has unveiled enhancements to its OTC liquidity.

Binance aims to better meet the needs of institutional and high-net-worth investors. On August 28, the crypto exchange launched an upgraded trade execution service. This new system aggregates OTC liquidity and offers various execution models to minimize slippage on larger transactions.

Importantly, Binance will gather real-time prices from external liquidity providers, including market makers, rather than relying solely on its own pools. This innovation provides traders with greater liquidity, thereby reducing slippage and narrowing spreads.

The exchange will also introduce two execution modes: one enables instant OTC settlement in as little as 15 minutes, while the other allows users to opt for custom execution based on Binance’s algorithms.

“Clients who prioritize pricing and speed for larger trades will benefit from our enhanced OTC service. Those who prefer tailored execution can rely on us to manage the process effectively. By customizing solutions for various segments, we assist sophisticated clients—from high-net-worth individuals and family offices to larger institutions—in optimizing their crypto experience,” stated Catherine Chen, Head of VIP & Institutional at Binance.

Binance’s institutional client base grows 20%

According to Binance, the number of VIP and institutional users saw a rise of 21% and 20% in the first half of 2025, compared to the same quarter last year. Trading volumes for both segments increased by 10% and 12%, respectively.

“We are enhancing our execution capabilities along with our other offerings to ensure we remain well-positioned to meet the increasing demand from our institutional clients for crypto exposure,” remarked Catherine Chen from Binance.
