Binance OTC Trading Volume Surges: Two-Month Volume Reaches 25% of Last Year, Institutional Funds Accelerate Bitcoin Entry

BlockBeats News, March 28th. Binance released its March 2026 OTC and Execution Services Report, showing a significant increase in institutional demand since the beginning of the year. The OTC trading volume in the first two months has reached 25% of the full-year volume in 2025, reflecting the growing reliance of large funds on off-exchange liquidity and execution services.

The report points out that against the backdrop of macro and geopolitical uncertainty, the Bitcoin price fluctuated between $60,000 and $78,000 in February, but institutional funds kept flowing in. BTC's share in OTC trading surged from 4.91% in January to 45.81% in February. Entry funds in stablecoins and fiat currencies also increased significantly, indicating signs of bottom-fishing.

At the same time, Binance OTC demonstrated its capability in complex trade executions. A case study showed that a $105 million WBETH to ETH exchange was completed within 2 hours with a slippage of about 50 basis points, which was approximately 75% better than order book execution optimization, significantly improving fund efficiency.

Overall, the report believes that the current market exhibits the characteristics of "price volatility + institutional accumulation," and the importance of OTC channels in large transactions and complex asset conversions continues to rise.
