Binance OTC trading volume surges: reaching 25% of last year's level in two months, institutional funds accelerate their entry into Bitcoin.

According to Mars Finance, on March 28th, Binance released its March 2026 OTC and Execution Services Report, showing a significant increase in institutional demand at the beginning of the year. OTC trading volume in the first two months already reached 25% of the total volume for 2025, reflecting the continued increasing reliance of large funds on OTC liquidity and execution services. The report points out that against the backdrop of heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, Bitcoin prices fluctuated between $60,000 and $78,000 in February, but institutional funds continued to flow in. BTC's share of OTC trading surged from 4.91% in January to 45.81% in February, with a significant increase in stablecoin and fiat currency inflows, indicating signs of buying on dips. Meanwhile, Binance OTC demonstrated its capabilities in executing complex transactions. For example, a $105 million WBETH to ETH exchange transaction was completed within 2 hours with a slippage of approximately 50 basis points, representing an optimization of about 75% compared to order book execution, significantly improving capital efficiency. Overall, the report believes that the current market is characterized by "price volatility + institutional accumulation," and the importance of OTC channels in large-scale transactions and complex asset conversions continues to rise.
