Trading Suspension and Impact
The tick size adjustments will not affect general USDⓈ-M Futures trading operations, with the exception of the specific contracts listed for adjustment.
However, the trading function for USDⓈ-M GMTUSDT, COTIUSDT, BATUSDT, DOTUSDT, ARPAUSDT, and ALGOUSDT Perpetual Futures Contracts will be temporarily suspended during their respective adjustment periods. These suspensions are scheduled for one minute, starting at the times indicated for each contract’s tick size change.
During these brief suspension windows, users will be unable to place new orders, cancel, or modify existing orders for the affected contracts. The status of these contracts will change from “TRADING” to “PENDING_TRADING.” API users can query the latest status using the GET /fapi/v1/exchangeInfo endpoint.
The tick size changes will also be reflected in API data. API users are advised to use GET /fapi/v1/exchangeInfo to retrieve the most current tick size information. Further details and updates can be found in the Binance API Changelog.
Importantly, existing orders will not be impacted by the tick size update. Orders placed before the adjustment will continue to be matched using the original tick size.
This announcement is made in accordance with Binance Exchange Rule 17. Traders are encouraged to review the Trading Parameters for comprehensive details and to adjust their trading strategies accordingly to mitigate any potential impact.
