According to the announcement from Binance, the exchange is set to adjust the tick size for several USDⓈ-M Perpetual Futures Contracts to enhance market liquidity and improve trading experiences. The adjustments will occur on specific dates, starting from April 13, 2026, at 06:30 (UTC). The trading pairs affected include BASEDUSDT, GTCUSDT, ENAUSDT, and ENAUSDC, with the tick size changing from 0.0001 to 0.00001. Further adjustments will follow on April 15 and April 16, 2026, impacting pairs such as GUAUSDT, SIRENUSDT, CHRUSDT, ALICEUSDT, DENTUSDT, OGNUSDT, and DYDXUSDT.
The adjustment will not affect the trading operations of USDⓈ-M Futures, except for specific contracts like CHRUSDT, ALICEUSDT, DENTUSDT, OGNUSDT, and DYDXUSDT. During the adjustment period, trading functions for these contracts will be temporarily suspended. For instance, the USDⓈ-M CHRUSDT contract will be suspended from April 16, 2026, 06:30 (UTC) to 06:31 (UTC), while the ALICEUSDT contract will be suspended from 06:45 (UTC) to 07:46 (UTC). Similar suspensions will occur for DENTUSDT, OGNUSDT, and DYDXUSDT contracts. During these times, users will be unable to place new orders or modify existing ones, and the contract status will change from "TRADING" to "PENDING_TRADING." API users can query the latest status and tick size changes using GET /fapi/v1/exchangeInfo.
Binance emphasizes that the tick size update will not affect existing orders, as orders placed before the update will still be matched with the original tick size. Users are advised to refer to the Trading Parameters for more details and adjust their trading strategies accordingly to avoid unnecessary impacts. This notice is released under Binance Exchange Rule 17, and users are encouraged to stay informed through the API Changelog for further updates.
