Binance Sees Surge in Institutional Trading as OTC Volume Explodes in 2026

[cryptobro]

Binance is experiencing rapid growth in its over-the-counter (OTC) trading division, with January and February already accounting for 25% of its entire 2025 OTC volume. This surge reflects increasing participation from institutional investors who prefer private trading channels to execute large orders without impacting market prices.

By offering deep liquidity and discreet execution, Binance is positioning itself as a key platform for large-scale crypto transactions. The trend signals a maturing market where institutions are playing a bigger role in shaping trading activity and liquidity dynamics.
