Binance said it will introduce a new spot trading mechanism on April 14 to restrict order execution outside a defined price range during periods of high volatility.

The feature, called the Spot Price Range Execution Rule, will allow trades to execute only within dynamic price bands based on recent market activity.

The change is designed to maintain orderly trading conditions by limiting extreme price deviations when liquidity is thin.

The rule will apply to taker orders and may not be available for all trading pairs, particularly where a reliable reference price cannot be established.

Unlike user-set limit or stop-loss orders, the mechanism operates at the exchange level and can partially cancel trades that fall outside the allowed price range.

The update follows past market stress events, including a liquidation-driven dislocation in October 2025 that exposed vulnerabilities during periods of low liquidity.

Binance said the system will not eliminate slippage entirely but aims to reduce the risk of abnormal executions as trading conditions become more volatile.
