As part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing market liquidity and improving user trading experience, OKX will adjust the minimum price precision for select spot trading pairs on June 10, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM (UTC+8). These adjustments are designed to align pricing granularity with evolving market dynamics and ensure smoother, more efficient trading across supported assets.
This update will impact both standard spot trading and leveraged positions (where applicable), with specific pairs undergoing either an increase or decrease in price precision. Users are advised to review the changes carefully to adapt their strategies accordingly.
🔧 Scope of Price Precision Adjustments
The adjustment falls into two categories: reduction in precision (i.e., rounding up the smallest price increment) and increase in precision (i.e., allowing finer price increments). Each has different implications for trading activity and order handling.
⏸️ Pairs with Reduced Price Precision (Temporary Trading Pause)
The following trading pairs will see their minimum price precision reduced, meaning prices will be quoted in larger increments. During this adjustment, trading will be paused for 2 minutes per pair to ensure a smooth transition.
| Trading Pair | Before | After | Adjustment Window (UTC+8) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ETH/TRY | 0.1 | 1 | 3:01:00 – 3:02:59 |
| SOL/AED | 0.01 | 0.1 | 3:03:00 – 3:04:59 |
| XRP/AED | 0.0001 | 0.001 | 3:05:00 – 3:06:59 |

⚠️ Risk Notice and Operational Impact
Understanding how price precision adjustments affect open orders, strategies, and historical data is crucial for maintaining effective trading performance.
What Happens When Precision Is Reduced?
When the minimum price step increases (e.g., from 0.0001 to 0.01), less precise orders may no longer comply with the new rules.
Order Handling Rules
Limit Orders:
- If your current order uses a finer precision than allowed post-adjustment, it will be automatically canceled.
- Orders that meet or are coarser than the new precision remain active.
Example:
After adjustment to 0.01, a buy order at130.2442will be canceled, while one at130.2400remains valid.Strategy Orders:
- Same logic applies: strategies using non-compliant price steps will have their pending orders canceled.
- Grid and Martingale strategies (including Spot Grid, Contract Grid, Infinity Grid, Martingale variants) will be terminated if any component order is canceled.
- Other strategies—such as DCA, Time-Weighted Averaging, Iceberg, Arbitrage, Stop-Loss/Take-Profit, and Scheduled Orders—will survive cancellation events and resume under the new precision once trading resumes.

What Happens When Precision Is Increased?
When finer pricing is introduced (e.g., from 0.01 to 0.0001):
- All existing orders remain fully intact.
- No cancellations occur.
- Users gain the ability to place more precise future orders.
🖥️ API vs. Web/App User Considerations
There are key differences in how interface types handle post-adjustment data:
For API Traders
- Orders submitted with outdated precision (e.g., four decimal places when only two are allowed) will undergo automatic truncation and may still execute successfully.
- Historical order and position data retains original precision.
For Web & App Users
- Cannot submit orders using old precision levels.
Historical trades and open positions are redisplayed using the new precision, following these rules:
- Buy orders: Truncated down (floor)
- Sell orders: Rounded up (ceiling)
This ensures consistency in displayed values while preserving fairness in trade representation.
🔍 Why Adjust Price Precision?
Price precision tuning is a standard practice in digital asset exchanges to:
- Improve market efficiency by reducing noise from excessively small price increments.
- Enhance liquidity concentration, making it easier for buyers and sellers to match.
- Support regional currency pairs like TRY and AED with pricing formats that reflect real-world usability.
- Enable high-precision trading for stablecoins and low-volatility assets where micro-movements matter.
These adjustments reflect OKX’s data-driven approach to maintaining optimal trading conditions across diverse markets.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will I lose money if my order is canceled due to precision changes?
A: No. Canceled orders are simply removed from the order book without execution. Your funds remain safe and available for re-deployment under the new rules.
Q: Can I restart my grid strategy after it’s terminated?
A: Yes. Once trading resumes, you can manually reinitialize your grid strategy using the updated price precision settings.
Q: Does this affect my open leveraged positions?
A: Open positions are not liquidated due to precision changes. However, new margin adjustments or entry/exit orders must comply with the new rules during active trading windows.
Q: How do I check the current price precision for a trading pair?
A: Navigate to the trading interface on OKX, open the pair’s settings (usually via a gear icon), and view “Trading Rules” or “Market Info.”

A: Only spot and leveraged spot pairs listed above are impacted. Futures markets follow separate precision schedules.
